It really isn't surreal at all and has a straight-forward sci-fi story. Maybe you were a tad too young when you saw it?

John Murdoch: When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?

Inspector Frank Bumstead: What do you mean?

John Murdoch: I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something, I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.

Dude, the thread title isn't a joke.

The Matrix has been accused of ripping off Dark City. Not just in terms of storytelling but visually as well...

I'd argue that The Matrix is a better movie than Dark City, but then The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions retroactively made it worse.

Dark City is indeed a cool-rear end movie, it's kind of amazing that a movie so good could come from the guy responsible for The Crow and I Robot.

I feel bad for The Thirteenth Floor, it wasn't a very good movie but it has way more in common with The Matrix than Dark City does yet nobody ever brings it up
