The ‘90s was a great year for films of almost all genres (maybe except for fantasy). For this blog, let’s take a look at some of the best the sci-fi genre had to offer. Since there were a lot, I thought it best to focus on the “dark” sci-fi, meaning sci-fi movies with bleaker tones, set in the night, with natural light coming in only at very minimal points in the story. This means I won’t be looking at classics like “Jurassic Park” or “The Fifth Element.”

Dark City
It was either this or the other Alex Proyas great “The Crow.” But since “Dark City” is more sci-fi in nature, I’m going with this dark tale set in a city where the sun never shines. The entire movie shows architecture and automobiles from different eras in a noir-esque story that pits the hero against the sinister creators of the world.
The Matrix
The Wachowskis reinvented filmmaking with this revolutionary sci-fi gem. The story itself had many elements of the best science fiction has to offer. But what really set this movie apart was how stylistic it was. The camera work and digital effects in “The Matrix” had never been seen before. It was one of the best of the decade, point in fact.
