Just saw it again tonight ...

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2002)

I saw Dark City when it was released in 1998 and when I came out of the theatre I knew that this one would keep popping up in my mind for a long time as one of the best pictures that year and definately one of the best sci-fi movie ever. What a pity that it was a flop at the boxoffice, I will never understand that. When The Matrix was released I was one of those that tried to tell people to go see Dark City. Everybody was thrilled about the originality of The Matrix, but the fact is that Dark City was the true original. I just saw this movie for the second time tonight and although the experience is nothing compared to the first viewing (because one knows the plot) it thrilled me again. What a movie! Brilliant! 10 out of 10. But what happened to Alex Proyas? He has not been heard from since...
