Dr. Who inspired?

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 1999)

I realize it's hard to be original, and that similar stuff has been done over & over again... but I was still kind of disappointed when a week after seeing the movie I was watching an old Dr. Who (from the '70's I think) where he has to mentally enter into the Matrix to battle the Master who controlled the reality in the Matrix. What happens to him in the matrix happens to his body in the "real" world as well... he tries to deny that the virtual world is real & has any hold over him. etc. etc.
Although not as cute, Tom Baker's a better actor than Keanu Reeves and the ending wasn't quite as predictable either - all it lacked was the fancy new effects.
