I remember, when this movie was released, there was not so much buzz about it but I still ended up watching it with my two of my buddies in the theater. To be honest, we were completely stoned when we went to watch it and the only thing I could remember was that my friends were constantly fidgeting and fighting on their chairs and I think the movie was pretty weird but I sure didn't have a clue wh... read more

It took me a second viewing to really appreciate this film. The concept and visually unsettling look into a future world set in a dated period is exceptionally engaging. Definitely worth a look.

Dark City is a great link between noir and science fiction that it’s all played on a beautifully gloomy atmosphere, made of an enchanting cinematography and impressive scenes. Plus, it disorients who's watching and digs on humanity feelings. And who care if the point of the story is clear a little too early, but Rufus Sewell performance - I think he's actually an underrated actor, weird Hollywoo... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1740 movies items)

" A mind mess of a movie, this film deals with a man who isn’t sure if his life is real or not. While The Matrix became a pop culture success, Dark City seemly fell by the way side. Until Roger Ebert, declared it to one of the the best films, that he has seen that year. DVD sales and rentals, did the rest."

"Para el momento en que la vi, sabía de su comparación con Matrix. Pero no he visto Matrix hasta el momento en que la vi, debido a que quería ver esta película que salió antes que Matrix para luego poder ver Matrix y decir que Dark City es la verdadera película de Matrix. Fuera de eso, es una película de acción y suspenso muy bien elaborada y una ambientación fenomenal (el montaje es torpe en varias ocasiones pero creo que es decente). Y más allá de eso creo que lleva el mito de la cav"
