Okay, so this was spectacular to the sci-fi, neo-noir nth degree!
All wrapped up in an Escher shaped bow.
Perfection.
Alex Proyas you may have made the atrocity that is Knowing.
But you are still the man responsible for The Crow, I, Robot and of course this little Rufus Sewell gem.
Dark City, you have my undying approval.

Proyas' latest project looks suitably interesting to boot. 
Which is actually a more direct take on the novel of the same name, that was the influence for Dark City.
I guess some ideas are just too good to let alone.
And thank goodness he hasn't.

I kind of wish i'd bought it on Blu-ray.
But after reading some of the forums, the transfer is meant to be pretty bad.
So, i win.
Most of the time you need that 80s/90s graininess to really capture the mood.
Imagine Blade Runner in hi-def?
No, thank you.



Watching: Wolf...holy were bears, David Schwimmer cameoed in this!
