| to start off with adding some of my favorite movies ---====== DARK CITY (IMDB) ======---  - Quote :
- A world where the night never ends. Where man has no past. And humanity has no future.

- John's life has become a nightmare. He is hunted by the police for a series of murders he knows nothing about, a woman who claims to be his wife is after him, and so is a mysterious "doctor". But his worst trouble is the strangers, a series of vastly powerful beings who seem to manipulate just about everything in the city, and want him because of the extraordinary powers he manifested. John decides to find out what is happening in his city; why is it always night? And why can nobody tell him a way to leave the city?

- One of the best science fictions ever made...
Dark City is the best film of Alex Proyas. He uses the Gothic and claustrophobic themes commonly and dark colors prevail during the film like "The Crow" .The story doesn't follow a certain order of rule, instead there is some mind games and puzzles in the film, that causes watchers to be active in each minute and motivate to the movie..
The topic is about a man who loses his past and first finds himself in a bath tub, doesn^t know about himself and his life, but he has one ability that no one has, he can be alive when the evil forces stops the time and reshapes the world according to their own demand. The story is so fantastic and Proyas' nightmare world come true in that movie.
I can basically say that it's one of the best science fiction movies ever made, it opens doors to different dimensions and force human brains' capability.... wonderfull acting of Kiefer Sutherland and Jennifer Connelly i see it as the source where the writers of The Matrix got their juice really fantastic movie imo, though while watching you shouldn't compare it too much with The Matrix (imo)  | |

Thanks for your reviews Kryll, the forum indeed needs to be filled in a bit. It's missing a lot of the masterpieces  I saw Dark City a few years ago, really liked it but I forgot a lot of it so I should watch it again  | |
