Dark City (DVD1999)
Review created: 09/09/06(updated 13/08/07)

This movie is absolutely one of my favourites so I bought it because I wanted to include it in my rather small collection of DVD's.
The most impressive feature of the movie is the dark and gloomy atmosphere and background and all the realistic data-produced scenery in it. The story reminds me a bit of the movie 'Brave new world'(from the book by Aldous Huxley) and '1984' the movie made upon Orwells book, but as a movie Dark City is much more successful I think. So in the whole sci-fi genre I rank this movie among Alien1 and 2001 A space oddesey regarding quality and orginality.
Brave new world, 1984, Matrix and Dark City; these four movies has a common denominator: they all deal with the totaltarian society and tries to tell us what might happen if we don't value the society we live in today (democracy). In all these movies the prospect of what we might end up with is of course caricated and taken to an extreme fiction world, but there is no doubt what the directors/authors want to tell us.
All the main actors are doing a very good performance and Jenifer Conelly is always a fine lady to watch.
Higly recommended movie.
