Dark City tells us how wonderful existence really is

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2008)

So I sat down to 'Dark City' knowing that it was hailed as a great Science Fiction movie. I watched it in wonderment, but when it was over all I thought was: 'I need to see this again.' So I saw it again and I have come to the conclusion that it is a modern classic. Visually this movie is astonishing. The story is also terrific (I won't go into details for those who haven't seen it) but what really struck me was what was underneath the visual quality and the plot. The film is telling us how lucky we are to be human. That's why we feel sort of sorry for the Strangers when they are defeated. Alex Proyas has made one good movie, 'The Crow,' and one sensational classic, 'Dark City.'
