This was better than The Matrix.
that's not Dark City or Brazil
>>220821119it is dark city anon
>>220821119That IS Dark City
In the Matrix, the robots aren't really doing anything, it's the humans that keep fucking up the system. In Dark City, the aliens can't help themselves from messing around. It's like if a The Sims player was the one in charge of managing Dark City. I dunno which one's better but Dark City is funnier for me.
>>220820952The movie has some great visuals but then it's edited / paced in a completely inappropriate way. It should be a slow neo-noir but the whole film just rushes past like it's late for a meeting. It's too fast. The third act is comical, and the alien reveal is too early in BOTH cuts. Obviously it's not as egregious in the Director's Cut where the whole fucking ot doesn't get revealed in the opening but it doesn't fix enough things nonetheless. The reveal should have been the climax of the detective plot, but the mystery ends like halfway through the film in the Director's Cut too.
