Dark City (1998) Director: Alex Proyas Writer: Alex Proyas Cast: Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt Genre: Sci Fi

The city he lives in is a nightmare, a mashup of a lot of cities, always dark and wet, populated by people who fall asleep at midnight when the Strangers change their memories.

an arthouse movie, Dark City's intentions are pretty transparent: It's there to put you in a mood, that tingly feeling you get when you read one of those cheap Orwellian sci-fi paperbacks with the bittersweet ending that's pleasant in the moment, but staggering in the scope of it's implication.

Dark City is unlike most science fiction movies Ive ever seen.

This movie is an underrated brilliant sci-fi film and it bares a resemblance to 'The Matrix', but was made before it, so there is no denying that Dark City must have been an inspiration for The Matrix.
