If you think The Matrix was original, look at that page. Dark City is the
real thing, The Matrix is rip-off.

Man, to each his own...

So it's true. 4 out of 5 trolls do prefer "Dark City" to the "Matrix."

/Dark City/ was a far better movie if you're looking for thought-
provoking ideas.

I haven't seen the Matrix DVD, but the Dark City one is really
excellent, with two commentary tracks, one by director Alex Proyas
and one by Roger Ebert.

I'd say 4/5 movie critics and anyone with half a brain prefers DC to Matrix.

What a bull. DC was first, so that makes them more original. Not
necessarily better.
I think The Matrix wins on all other fronts than originallity.

Some of the resemblance is because the Wachoski brothers filmed parts of The
Matrix on some of the sets that were originally built for Dark City. Seeing
that the two films were shot one right after the other on the same sound
stages in Sydney, Australia.

Dark City wasn't first. Check out the Mamoru Oshii Anime title Beuautiful
Dreamer in the Urusei Yatsura series of films made in 1984. I'll bet the
people behind Dark City was influenced by this film.

I have it on DVD, maybe I will play them. Is it just me, or does
anyone else hate the voice over commentary tracks? Or, most of the
extra crap on DVDs anyway?
