Dark City. Loved the uber dark atmosphere of this flick, the camera work, etc. The story-line seemed to be moving along so nicely, until the climax. It was just cheezey.

***Spoiler Alert***

All that work and end it w/ an alien/sci-fi Scanners duel ripoff. That was horrible. What truly killed it for me, though, was the end, which was an almost carbon copy of Harold Goldfarb's dream in Requiem for a Dream. i loved that scene (in Requiem) where Harold sees Marion standing at the end of the pier in a dress. What was Aronofsky thinking, borrowing this scene from Dark City and using it in Requiem, complete with the same actress (Jennifer Connelly)? WTF? Maybe a valium with a vodka chaser will make it all better. Ashe.
