But it was still pretty good in it's own right.

The Matrix Trilogy is shaping up to be alot like the Star Wars Trilogy I think. Not that they're about the same thing unless you narrow it down to good vs. evil and the Force/The One. I predict there will be ewoks in Matrix Revolutions.

Anyway, I suppose it depends on what you are comparing. I mean, you could say A Nightmare on Elm Street is similar to The Matrix because if you die in the dream world, your body dies, too.

And I don't mean just the plot similarities, I'm talking about visuals, specific scenes that were used in Matrix.
Keep in mind Dark City came out before The Matrix.
Do yourself a favor and watch Matrix right after Dark City.

Imaginary Boy: SOME of those shots might look similar, but when you take them in context, they really have nothing to do with each other. The only plot similarity is humans live in a fabricated world and don't know it, and that a single person is able to "save humanity". Even then, the plots of both movies are pretty different.

Especially after watching the Animatrix, it's uncanny how similar the backstory in the Terminator series is to the Matrix series (i.e. machines vs. man - man leading a resistance in the future against the machine oppressor, etc.)

I think The Matrix and Dark City are different movies that explore the same themes--not even close to plagiarism. The movie Abre los Ojos covered a lot of the same ground a year before Dark City came out, and I'm sure there are movies before that one that play with reality.

Sound familiar? Doesn't make The Matrix Die Hard though.

The Talosian (buttheads) episodes of Star Trek. They force people to live in a fantasy world so they can breed them. Different techniques, but not that dissimilar.

I mean come on, it's a car .... in the rain ... on a dark street ... that's wet ... and there are people inside the car ... and the brake lights are on. It's so obvious, I don't know why I didn't notice it before.
and look at this one! It's a cop! You never see that in a movie!
