Dark City (1998) could definitely fit the bill, it has so many unique ideas for that time in film and you can see there’s of all sorts of future sci-fi movies in it from the matrix to inception, it’s a very visually ugly movie and the acting is subpar but as a premise it’s super interesting. Generally I think remakes are a waste of time and money but I’d love to see this movie with a proper budget and modern technology

I really like that movie. But watch the directors cut, for the love of all that's good! It removed the narration at the beginning that gave away the whole plot. Much better that way.

Just joking. I really liked the movie for its style and the frightening bad guys in all sizes. Also Kiefer Sutherland with a mad scientist touch.

The city itself was interesting as hell

I just watched this! It felt like the director wanted to go real big with it but technology just wasn't there with effects. It also tried very hard to be a mindfuck movie but also kept spoiling the twists somehow lol. Overall solid 7+ movie.

Jennifer Connelly is the best part of the movie

I don't want a remake, I want a sequel. I'm glad I'm not the only one who disliked the visuals of the movie, tho.
