Matrix inspiration?

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

In light of the matrix trilogy, its crucial everyone go back and watch Dark City with Larry and Andy's imagery fresh in our minds. There are entire scenes from dark city that made it into the matrix. Direction style, colors, sounds, props and even some dialog seems to have been cut and pasted from Dark City right into the final cut of the Matrix(ices).
An old fashioned telephone on a table rings. Every resident of the city "awakens" each night to the only world they've known but that is not truly theirs. I could go on, but its better to take a couple hours and see it all again.
