Matrix is leagues above Dark City, some people just like protest voting, 'alternative' thinking, hating on what's popular etc.
I liked Dark City but it clearly could have used bigger budget. One scene that I remember clearly was when the city was shown from a distance in space and water was washing aside the city, it looked cool but made no sense.
Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.
