This week on 3Amoviegos Ian, Martyn & Joe fight the urge to “Sleep” under the spell of Alex Proyas’ Dark City. This 1998 cult classic pits John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) against a hive-minded group of men known as Strangers who are hell bent on finding the meaning of the human soul in order to save their dying alien species. With a very noir style, the film follows John as he tries to find clues to his now erased memories and his newly discovered powers of mental “Tuning.” And he has to do it while trying to find his wife (Jennifer Connelly), running from the no-nonesense Inspector Bumstead (William Hurt), working with the intelligently odd Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland) and trying to find his way to the known-by-all but mysteriously inaccessible Shell Beach, where he supposedly grew up. But as we later see, things in this world aren’t at all what they seem, and the reason for John’s memory loss has everything to do with the strangers hive-minded “Tuning” ability to alter surroundings, minds and memories. Realizing that everything around him might be a maze, a concocted prison for all to be observed and experimented on, John knows that the truth lays somewhere outside the dark, and can be found if he could only reach Shell Beach. This wildly provocative film is what’s up on this week’s episode of 3Amoviegos.
