If you like The Matrix and haven't seen this yet, go watch it. It was released the year before, and was said to have heavily influenced it's story. It has a very similar theme, but it's much more grounded, gritty and dark. I actually liked it more than the Matrix.

This is in my all time top 10, plus jennifer connelly is fucking hot
Jordan Campbell
Is this the one with Melissa George's tits? They were perfect.
Matthew Howard
Are you baiting me to mention that the rooftop chase in the beginning of The Matrix takes place on a Dark City set piece? Fuck.
Connor Murphy
WATCH THE DIRECTORS CUT, THE THEATRICAL CUT GIVES AWAY MAJOR PLOT POINTS AT THE BEGINNING FOR NO REASON
Kayden Mitchell
I don't remember particularly liking it.
Cooper Butler
Are you baiting me to rewatch The Matrix? I was never a really big fan of the trilogy but thought the first one was alright. Now I've seen Dark City and The Matrix feels like a cheap, more sterile and action overloaded knock off
Aiden Richardson
It was cool except they never explained anything that was happening at all. The alien cenobite guys kept fucking with people for no reason, then one of the humans had their powers and exterminated them.
Charles King

Jordan Russell
the directors cut ties up loose ends
Kayden Howard
This plus that weird comic The Invisibles IS the matrix. The Watchowski brothers never had any talent even before they chopped off their dicks.
Jason Walker
Hey man, Cloud Atlas is a great movie
Noah Adams
watched this when I was 22.
despised it, fuck Roger Ebert and his 4/4's, never trusted him again.
You never feel anything from the mystery, and then it ENDS WITH A FUCKING BEAM BATTLE
trash, can not recommend to anybody
one of the most hyped and disappointing movies of my life. for the record, I was hyped on Fifth Element and it was okay. I was told shit about Jacob's Ladder and it was above average.
Owen Roberts
Watch director's cut
Lucas Powell
Keifer SUtherland ruins this movie with that retarded lisp he does for this character... completely ruined it.
Easton Perry
Such as?
Nathan Rivera
>was 22
Brody Reyes
Holy fuck
Blake Walker
>ENDS WITH A FUCKING BEAM BATTLE
Didn't end with that though. And in 1998, it wasn't as cliche as it is now. The mental Cartman South Park episode wasn't even out
Austin Watson
the climax was. the ending wasn't, I agree. it's still a beam battle after I'd seen so much dragon ball z

I loved the movie.
A bit dated, but it's a nice blend of sci-fi noir that the Matrix just couldn't quite grasp.
Too far ahead of it's time, with modern CGI SFX still in it's infancy.
Liam James
It took me about 8 or 9 tries to make it all the way through without falling asleep
That's not exactly a good rating in my book
Grayson Ward
>It was released the year before, and was said to have heavily influenced it's story
cos that's how film production works lol
Luke Campbell
Is this fucking true? What the heck
Oliver Perry
Jennifer Connelly is a pretty good singer desu
Jackson Flores
Eli Phillips
while we're on the subject of better movies than The Matrix
James Perez
>the fried chicken gun
Charles Allen
Shitty meme movie for brainlets
Camden Ortiz
I didn't like the way the aliens were dressed and portrayed but besides that it was good.
Connor Wilson
They used the bodies of dead people as vessels, which was much cooler than the matrix agents
Kayden Nguyen
Wachowskis are capable of tuning, making average source material into superior kino
Levi Lopez
Classic Game Room
Andrew Nguyen
I watched it with some kozboys
Liam Gutierrez
It was really cool until the third act when the protagonist becomes a fucking god and has a Dragonball fight with the alien leader.
David Allen
Carson Barnes
>Fish
Also just watched Dark City last night, good call
Chase Cooper
Impressive, very nice
Justin Fisher
based and Lynchpilled
Brandon Nelson
I'd watch it just for Jennifer Connelly.
Eli Carter
eXistenZ is a Cronenburger though
Jason Rivera
man film looks so much better then modern digital shit
Daniel Price
A narrative that can't survive spoilers unscathed isn't a very good narrative to begin with. Fortunately, Dark City is a strong enough narrative to stand on its own merit, with or without spoilers in the opening narration.

>I was hyped on Fifth Element and it was okay.
That shit was cancerous French pedo-faggot trash. Your opinion on anything further's going in pic related.
John Lewis
>Kiefer Sutherland
I fucking hate this guy so much. Is this watchable despite that, or should I just pass.
Isaiah Ross
His role is especially annoying because he imitates this weird speech impediment where he stops for a moment after every 2nd word. It's a minor supporting role though, give a try
Noah Sanders
>minor supporting role though, give a try
I have faith in you user.
However, I will hunt you down and fill your mailbox with nacho/frozen burrito/cheap beer poop if this is terrible.
Dominic Kelly
Yeah, they reused sets.
Noah Flores
You're thinking about Leon: The Professional.
