The Matrix Revolutions uses ideas of F. Herbert's "Dune" and "Dune Messiah"

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2003)

If you have read "Dune" and "Dune Messiah" then you have probably noticed the similarities with Matrix. When Neo goes blind after fight with Smith, he is somehow still able to see. Well guess what, Paul Atreides becomes blind also, and he is also able to see. In addition both Neo and Paul sacrifice themselves to save the human race. As in Dune, the Matrix also deals with "the chosen one". There are even more similarities, which makes you wonder, if the Wachowski's have just copied the idea of Matrix off from other authors into a soup of ideas that have all been used before?
