ALIENS AND MATRIX

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2004)

I am sure that you have saw both. Is there any direct relationship?
Recently I saw the 'Aliens' Special Edition and I could not forget The Matrix, in fact the machine on board of Nostromo has the green letters and the word Matrix on it. Also in Matrix Revolutions there a scene which can easily been taken from the 'Aliens'. My question in here is there's any direct relationship between those? Is the 'Aliens' one of the sources of the The Matrix?
In my very personal opinion, I think that there is a mixture of films that created The Matrix and Aliens is one of them.
Thx
