The Movie That Predicted The Matrix | DARK CITY (1998)
Was The Matrix the first film to ask whether our reality is manufactured? No! There are huge parallels between Dark City and The Matrix, with both films using some of the same themes, visuals, and even sets. In this episode of Four Play, we dive into Dark City (1998): Alex Proyas’ noir-drenched sci-fi cult classic that arrived one year before The Matrix and explored memory, identity, and control in ways that still feel unsettlingly modern. Is Dark City just a forgotten cyberpunk curiosity or is it one of the most important science fiction films of the 1990s?
