A great look at the nature of reality and the nature of man.

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2004)

When the hero tells the mysterious strangers that they made a mistake by trying to figure out the essence of man by studying their minds instead of their hearts i simply said bravo. Not only is this a great sci fi movie but it is a great movie of the heart. Visually stunning and spooky it looks like something straight out of Tim Burton's imagination. The story's premise is that an alien race is trying to figure out the essence of man ie their soul. They have created their own city in which to study people. One man wakes up from the dream world and he is soon helped by a doctor played very well by Mr. Sutherland. The journey is well worth it for any Sci Fi fan. The movie is compared with the Matrix often and i think Dark City is almost as good as the Matrix. Which is saying alot. Any Sci Fi fans who haven't seen it should get it today.
