I’m a big fan of The Matrix, but I’m a bigger fan of Dark City.  Released more than a year before Neo took the red pill to the delight of audiences everywhere, writer/director Alex Proyas presented a similar tale of a man trapped in a world where nothing is quite what is seems.  Although not as widely known (more than six times the number of people have taken the time to rate The Matrix on IMDb), it is a superior film in almost every conceivable way.  Released in 1998 we mark the occasion by reviewing the DVD ten years later.
