25TH ANNIVERSARY!
Roger Ebert's favorite film of 1998 and one of six movies to be blessed with a DVD commentary by the legendary critic. DARK CITY famously shares similar themes and ideas with THE MATRIX, yet predates the latter's release by just over a year. THE MATRIX even reused some of DARK CITY's sets. But whereas THE MATRIX was influenced by anime and martial arts movies, DARK CITY is pure noir. Well, sci-fi noir. It tells the story of a man who struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun, run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
