Dark City
A year before the Matrix was released came this pre-cursor, a stylish, fast, and fascinating neo-noir sci-fi film that has a lot of similarities with its more popular counterpart.
The world building of this film is next level. There are sights you just do not see. The CGI is bad by today's standards, but still pretty damn cool to watch. There was just a whole unique vibe that I totally loved.
However, there was also something slightly off-putting about the look... idk how to say it, it was like that 80s 90s cheesy/grated look that I often stereotype movies with. Especially in the underground with the pale people, it looked weird and fake.
However, as I said, this movie doesn't give you answers till the end, and even at the end it is ambiguous. It's thought provoking, chilling, and asks seriously important questions about our experience with memory and how it is controlled,
