Review of Dark City (1998) by Tsubaki S — 02 Apr 2010
Fantastic visual piece, but a bit weak in the story. Strange aliens with fantastic mental powers are dying of something (this something is never explained as far as I remember) and want to study the human soul.
For all the potential interesting questions the film raises about the human mind, and human emotions it tosses them to end up the movie in a big nerd battle of mental powers. Weak lead actor, the aliens could had been better written, and Jennifer Connelly's character is just the token love interest.
It's an engaging movie no doubt, but it cripples itself from being something better.
