Dark City (Movie Review)

The story concerns a man waking in a hotel room with no memory, which soon proves to be but one of many troubles. He is sought by police, who believe him to be a serial killer, and also by a group of mysterious men with psychokinetic powers. Furthermore, something appears to be wrong with the world at large: time, memory, and identity behave in unusual ways.

It stars Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jennifer Connelly.
And directed by Alex Proyas. - Wikipedia.

awesooooooooooome review mate... keep it up

[TheValeterUK]

some movie's are made to share information via them to the ones who are smart enough to understand that message of information. otherwise its just a story. we are shown things by a certain group who find it interesting to notify us and then get great satisfaction when we don't act on it and fall on our faces,

and of course, not all of you will understand a word of what iv just written. but then they ones who do understand will clearly know what im saying.

The word you were looking for a few times was "noir".

[MXM9999L]

if you don't mind me saying but what is the song that plays in the intro?

@TheValeterUK What you just said is bloody obvious, you are basically stating that some movies are made for deep thinkers who looks for deep symbolism in a motion picture but that doesn't make your sentence deep...

I wouldn't consider the fact that the plot is complex and requires attention to be paid as a negative.

I agree. Dark City is without doubt the FAR superior film.

[LeonAmarantos]

I saw this movie 12 years ago (when i was 20) at a theater in Greece.The similarities with "The Matrix" are because of the common central issue (The allegory of the cave of Plato).People who live in a lie ignoring the true world behind the false one.It might be heared as a joke but the movie "Dogtooth"(by George Lanthimos) is another movie related in a way with the allegory of the cave.Proyas (Dark City) and Lanthimos (Dogtooth) are both Greek directors (coincident???)

This and Alien are my favorite Sci-fi movies. Storyline,visuals, athmosphere ,acting, is close to immaculate in my opinion. William Hurt is great in this,but then I think the ensemble of actors as a whole was chosen perfectly.

[CheeseMoe13]

Did anyone else find the acting bad?

@Johnlindsey289 I really love both Dark City and the Matrix movies. I love that they both have so many layers. I would agree that Dark City was overlooked and was thus less commercially successful because it had less bells and whistles. This movie remains one of my favorite, not only because of the story but because of the atmosphere. It is destined to be a cult classic, but if that puts it in the company of Blade Runner and such films, that's not a bad place to be.
