Great poll, I am a fan of all three. I went with Dark City because it makes you question reality and has boobs.

I think it's sorta neat that all three used different sci fi vehicles to talk about the same things -- machine uprising, powerful aliens, invading the mind. Cool how you can explore ideas in so many different ways.

By the time I finally see Inception(since it's not high on my list of movies I've missed) this poll will have been deleted.

Of the three, I haven't seen Dark City. I think I'm going to have to remedy that.

Yeah, you really should. At the worst, it's a big budget Twilight Zone episode that promises good fun and special effects. At its best, it's one of the top five sci fi flicks of the 90's and one of the best of all time.

Does it matter?

I've only seen the original cut, so you may want to consult Amazon reviews to see what the general concensus is there.

Both cuts average 4/12 stars.

I've seen both cuts and both are worth seeing.

And I'm adding Dark City to my list of overrated films.
