"City of Souls"

I don't watch many sci-fi movies, so I don't know how the whole movie stands among sci-fi fans.

In the real society, thoughts and behaviors that are not understood by ordinary people are often classified as "mentally ill patients". Having seen such films, the protagonists who are not understood by ordinary people often imply a parallel worldview, which is also a common technique in science fiction films and literature.

The story is well-crafted and can justify itself; the overall production level of the film was not bad ten years ago; there are many well-known actors. Seems more involved. The full 2/3 is very engaging and the ending doesn't reach its climax.
