'Dark City' Flopped at the Box Office Because It Was Too Weird for Normies
Sometimes, a visionary filmmaker is so far ahead of the curve that a masterwork goes unnoticed at the time of its release. Look no further than Alex Proyas' Dark City as one of the most glaring examples of the past 30 years. Not only is Dark City a provocative and supremely stylish sci-fi-noir that holds up in its own right, but it also inspired the universally beloved first Matrix movie, which was released one year later, making Dark City even more of an afterthought.
