Dark City
Upon awakening with a start in an icy bathtub in a strange room--with a woman's dead body inconveniently nearby--John Murdoch can't remember how he got there. With a police detective hot on his trail and a psychiatrist skulking around, Murdoch discovers that the key to his mystery is the presence of strange extraterrestrial creatures, the Strangers, who are experimenting with the memories of the humans in his city--from which there may be no escape. Ambitious sci-fi noir, with rich production design and a dense, Kafkaesque concept.

Paranoid fantasy that owes its visual style to graphic novels such as The Crow, and its tone to film noir; its narrative, though, is more muddled and, ultimately, somewhat forgettable.

Pre-Matrix revelations
The similarities between The Matrix and Dark City are strong. Both focus on brooding central characters somehow out of sync with the world around them and ... read more »

Two Words : Absolutely Rubbish!!
My first impression is the scenery reminds me of certain scenes from the Matrix.
The main actor wakes up in what can only be described as the ... read more » - 1083816

Knowing
- 23 Mar 2009
A cut above the crud that Nic Cage has been perpetrating on a regular basis lately, Knowing is a strenuously doomy sci-fi thriller that takes itself more seriously than something like Next, despite certain similarities in the story department. Cage’s MIT professor John Koestler is intrigued, at first, then dismayed, when he examines the missive his son has brought home from school. It is a letter from half a century ago, when the pupils of a local school left their predictions about the... Read more
