Review of Natural City

Natural City (2003)
6/10
Nice looking movie

I rate this movie high on the visuals. Yes its Blade Runner-ish but truth be told it would be very difficult to make any "cyberpunk" or movie with cyborgs and humans without it somehow taking elements from BladeRunner.

The visuals and CG are very good. The story line is a bit confusing in the beginning. It is also a tad slow and on the longish side. The movie's plot is around a special forces cop who is trying to extend the life of his cyborg girlfriend (cyborgs have expiry dates). He does unscrupulous stuff etc and pays a rogue cyborg manufacturer to extend her life. Of course the mad scientist have an agenda of his own whose disclosure leads to the last sequence of the movie.

The action scenes are quite good although dark. The story so-so. but I give points to how good the movie looked. I would recommend this movie if you are into the whole cyberpunk genre and enjoy visuals over deep stories and acting.
