Most overrated sci-fi movie

Rating: 2/10 (17 April 2011)

Yes, Alex Proyas is a genius... blah, blah, blah. People! Come on! Mozart was a Genius, or Michelangelo. Scorsese many times was a genius, and Spielberg, and Kubrick, and Burton. I don't know, maybe Proyas was a genius once, but not at the moment when he made this lunatic, illogical, weird piece of sh*t. That's correct. Dark City is not good, or event decent. It's worse than Judge Dredd, and JD, as we all know, is not a masterpiece.
What we've got here? Strange future city, which is totally unconvincing. Streets are empty, there is now ordinary people there. Who live here (beside this creepy, bald believers and some movie characters)? Do you know? Do Proyas know? I don't think so. A masterpiece should be flawless. Can you imagine Blade runner without peoples on the streets? Deckards goes to bar. He meet only one other person there: Zhora. Zhora is running away. Deckard is chasing her, but there is nobody on the streets. Then Kiefer appears... Do you understand now, why Dark City is so horrible? Sometimes, when movie has only flaw, and any good parts, some people put the cart before the horse, and Voila! A masterpiece! Antonioni's "Blowup" is good example for this trend.
This movie is just loony, I admit it, but the plot is bad, as well as acting (Kiefer, for God's sake...!), main character is just another big flaw in this "flawless" mess.
If you think that Proyas is a genius, you should go to church, and praise God for a drop of intellect.
