      This was part of a great period in 90s cinema. Some very dark, very good films/ aesthetics.

      The Crow, Dark City, The Spawn Movie. Great music in that period too.

    I’d highly advise only watching the directors cut of this movie. The theatrical is great, but the DC is phenomenal.

    Absolutely amazing nior-esque sci-fi film. It’s masterfully done and I consider it one of my favorites.

    I saw this movie during its theatrical run. Power went out maybe 10 minutes before the end of the movie. We were given the option of a refund or finishing the movie, so we stayed. Didn’t miss a minute!

      You’ve only seen the last ten minutes. Those memories of the rest of the movie? Some other guy’s memories, injected in a cocktail of engrams. Do you know the way to Shell Beach? No? Thought not…

        I do, however, have Jennifer Connelly memorized 😏

        Best cocktail ever

    At least once a week I say:

    Shut it down. Shut it down forever!

      Same. The little kid and his black leather trench coat still gives me chills.
