Dark City (1998)

Alex Proyas’ dark yet beautiful blend of science fiction and film-noir murder mystery, Dark City (1998), was over-shadowed by The Matrix (1999) one year later – The Wachowskis even re-used many of Dark City’s sets and it’s easy to notice – but to this day it remains the best sci-fi film of the last couple of decades.

The Gothic design of its world where it’s always night time and the dark city itself morphs and shape-shifts around its inhabitants on a daily basis is full of intricate details, many of which you will only begin to notice on repeat viewings.
