Shocker for me

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 1999)

I hate sci-fi (and I don't use the word hate often), but I was incredibly surprised at Dark City. If nothing else one must admit that Alex Proyas has created a world and a group of villains that lacks nothing in originality. There was nothing at all recycled about this story; the utter imagination involved is enough for commendation. Saving Private Ryan is the only better movie I've seen all year; that's some company.
