Are we so shallow that we prefer the love of a machine to that of a human?

Natural City is an ambitious Korean science fiction tribute to Bladerunner with a well managed budget of only 6 million dollars (Matrix had cost about $63). The film was a box-office smash but only in Korea. It received very little in the way of press coverage in the UK with the only showing known to this reviewer being at the excellent Sci-Fi-London 3 festival in February 2004. Like Scott’s movie, Natural City too had left audiences leaving the cinema feeling somewhat baffled around the storyline.

Just like the foreign science fiction film ‘Open Your Eyes’ remade into the soulless ‘Vanilla Sky’ we will be seeing the same treatment done to ‘Natural City’. While I respect the remakes give the opportunity to appeal to mainstream viewers in that ‘Hollywoodised’ way, science fiction fans who thought Scott’s directors cut a masterpiece and enjoyed films likes ‘Open Your Eyes’ will want to own a copy of this instead. If only more people had seen it this truly is a science fiction classic.
