FANTASTIC Science Fiction Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (26 September 2006)

"Dark City". I had not heard of this movie whatsoever until I looked up Alex Proyas on this very site. Why did I look him up? Because of the cinematic masterpiece that was "The Crow". So I clicked on this movie, figuring something written and directed by the very man that directed "The Crow" would be, at least, good. Little did I know what was contained on the disc I rented from Blockbuster.
This truly is an extraordinary film. Forget "The Matrix", forget "Star Wars", forget every other Science Fiction film you have ever seen. "Dark City" is one of the most finely crafted pieces of narrative to be ever recorded. To break down the film and describe the parts would make it seem less than it really is.
Rent this movie, and you will soon gain a new understanding for how flawed every other movie you own is.
