Better Matrix than the Matrix

If you stripped the Matrix of its sexy video game appeal, hipster takes on its source material, added a plot, a far more interesting visual style, a meaningful sense of drama instead of pointless choreography, etc. you'd get Dark City.

It perhaps won't be as seminal of an event as say Blade Runner, but it'll still be one of those old movies you can recommend to others as a solid, well-rounded take on "your whole world is a lie" type of fantasies (and it'll still look gorgeous too.)
