Summary
You wake up in a city where the sun never rises and time stands still. Your memory is a blank slate, and your hands are covered in the blood of a dark murder. In this sci-fi nightmare, where Alex Proyas masterfully blends retrofuturism with film noir aesthetics, he plunges the viewer into the heart of endless paranoia. Every footstep echoing through the city’s streets is part of your struggle to discover your identity and what reality truly is. In this artificial world controlled by alien entities, you are the real prey while everyone else sleeps. Escaping this dark labyrinth—where memories shift and time bends—won’t be all that easy.
