Another one that makes the MAtrix fade...

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2005)

"Dark City" is a weird movie. Strange. It's some sort of sci-fi. The cast is headed by RUfus Sewell, and features Kiefer "Jack Bauer" Sutherland, Jenniffer Connelly, and William Hurt. It is specially the two men aforementioned that I was surprised of seeing in a movie like this.
The director is Alex Proyas, a guy who gave us "I, Robot" and "The Crow 3". As in the last one, the ambient of the movie is dark. There is no sun, and some strange human-like creatures (I don't recall the name!) control people at will. Sewell sorts of escapes their control and is alone against everyone.
This movie has just joined "Nirvana" in the group of "better-than-the-Matrix" films, providing an original script, and not a "Terminator V" would-be. THe FX are a whole different thing. Visually impressive, this movie kicks ass, and tarnishes even more the supposed originality of "THe Matrix".
9/10
