I love Dark City it's one of my top 10 ever, up there with Sleuth and Blade Runner (not the commentated one) and 12 Angry Men and Goodfellas and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, and Shawshank's and Alien and Terminator 2 and another I don't remember right now but they are the coolest films made by man.

Okay so the telekinetic battle is not the best part of the film (it's still climactic and good, just looks a bit dated is all), but you gotta agree that the injected memories scene right before that is loving amazing, also the whole rest of the movie is a masterpiece.

Someone mentioned Snowpiercer earlier and I've since seen it. Not quite as great as Dark City, but still great and much more dark.

Snowpiercer... the first 60 minutes or so are quite alright, then it goes into a poo poo tangent. The ending sucks. If they had stuck to the class warfare and implemented the "today's revolutionary is tomorrow's tyrant" concept, it would have been great. I guess they had to meet their "hollywood happy action ending" quota though!
Still, a decent popcorn movie. Just don't expect any depth.
