Dark City

Dark City started off by confusing the crap out of me, I had no idea what was going on and I was starting to think that the movie was pointless. But once the storyline came together and everything was explained, the movie became truly mindblowing. Althought it's only 12 years old, it feels as if the movie was somewhat ahead of it's time. I can't think of any other movie of the time that was this creative. Also in terms of the special effects, the way that they flowed and looked seemed realistic. I liked the fact that Dark City was a modern take on Film-Noir, because after watching Asphalt Jungle I took a liking to the genre.

Out of the entire cast, I felt as if Kiefer Sutherland did the best acting, playing Dr. Schreber, the personality and character was believable. I'm not sure of the character's name, but the one playing the alien kid was the creepiest one of all the aliens, I don't know if that's because it was a kid or just because of the way he was acting, but it added some horror to the film; for example when Murdoch was hanging off the ledge and the kid was biting his hand.

Overall I enjoyed this film, it was an interesting view on civilization, how we're not simple beings, and there's no way to figure us out, because every single one of us is individual. The concepts introduced in Dark City are ones that a peron can spend a long time thinking about.
