Dark City

Tali: Dark City is the sci-fi story of John Murdoch, as he tries to piece together the mysterious and fantastical events that lead to his memories being erased, and and the potential murdered he may have committed. There isn't a whole lot to say about this movie. I felt the entire time while watching that I was missing something. There are some attempts to make this a film-noir, but mostly this movie falls flat of baring any significance. It's weird as shit and definitely not worth the two hours.

Leo: In Dark City, John Murdoch struggles with memories of his past, with large key elements he cannot remember, in a dark world with no sun and run by creatures with telekinetic powers who seek to know what makes humans....human. The premise would be a little over done almost if it wasn't one of the first to use things like psychokinetic powers and altering a society’s mind. The storyline, in my opinion, was pretty solid because even though it has a very intense sci-fi feel it still remains grounded with the humanity expressed by the relationship between John Murdoch and his wife. The way the movie was done in terms of the information being revealed was impressive, especially considering the amount of unbelievable things that are revealed. Another interesting structural aspect to this movie was John's progression. Other than that, I tend to almost agree with Tali that it is kind of "flat" at some points, but towards the end it all comes together and there is no questioning that this movie is an incredible spectacle.
