Dark City (1998)
10/10
Curiously interesting sci-fi film.
26 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie made a deal with some subject that Matrix also point to, in someway. But depends mood n time I like one of them than the rest one. Something I write down below not really contains valid spoiler, it just another story.

You see many years ago life in that city was founded on the light, peace and love. Then one day John Murdoch noticed something, a weird thing about his memories that he didn't remember exactly. It was bright, innocent and somewhat intriguing, like a dream of a man about the best childhood memory, and about somewhere called "Shell Beach". He decided to find it out, after all it was probably a beautiful place, unlike any other place that ever existed in that city.

What he didn't realize was that Shell Beach had a mystical secret. The more curiosities it received, the more difficultly it could be found, until one day it took over. It became a abnormal place & a normal place in the same time, where people can't located anymore although everyone should to knew where's it. Not just it either, seem any place in that city's imaginative n unreal in some surreal meaning. And the daylight that even never ever existed in recent memory of all people. Nobody could remember exactly the last time when they face the daylight, or the sun except some images blurry n uncleanly in their childhood.

People were trapped and there was no way out, they had won. It was numerous long years before he - a human - fought back. Get rid of all the images in his memory, removing his belief, and most importantly removing anything which he thought he knew. It was hard at first to get himself to agree to this, most had a fascination and admiration for the memory that they just couldn't let go away, but he needed to free himself and make out something to resolve that secret, for the greater future life.

He did this for you, that's right it was all so you can enjoy the freedom and fun of the world. What made us human not just inside us, it's out there, it's the sunshine, the beach, the air, it's Earth. So next time, when you're questioning our existence, just know that if it weren't for Earth you wouldn't even be here. (Happy Earth day :F)

10/10
A nice movie for children.
28 December 2008
I think it's about 7/10. And score now is lower. So I vote 10/10 to balanced one of [1/10 users] (although useless a bit 'cause 11/2=5.5). Simply it's not that bad. No comment about content or something people fighting here. Same idea someone around here, 'cause kid don't vote or don't care/know how to vote, so adult don't need beat this movie down by a cheap reason - they don't like or "their kid" don't like (or they've just thought they get their kid's idea). It owned its idea n content, unnecessary thing's you guy try to render them follow your hostile idea. Unfair & pointless at all. And I don't want write down so much needless words but seem IMDb force user build a 10 lines comment. So I write below line almost no target and meaning. Anyway I think this's nice movie for children no matter how many non-children guy hate it and try to show that by this way or that way...
