This week I decided to see the movie Dark City, a science fiction noir film. It takes place in a city made up of other cities like New York, London and whatnot, that way it gives the viewers something familiar but different looking. It stars a man who wakes up in a murder scene where he is accused of the action and is chased by an unknown clan of black dressed people. Throughout the film, he discovers the mystery of the city and a new power he is given. He meets a doctor who secretly works for the clan, a girl he falls in love with and tries to find a path to a fictional paradise called shelled beach. It's pacing and mysteries keep the viewers interested for most of the time and the eerie design of the alien black dressed clan members definitely keeps you on edge the entirety of the film. The ending fight scene between him and the leader was a bit goofy, but it was so short that it didn't really effect the rest of the film that much. I do recommend this film who is a fan of the noir style who is looking for a completely different and fictional take on it. It's creative concepts do make you wonder what else we could do in other films inspirationally.
