If you take into account that there are only really 6 story achetypes then the "Star Wars is a rip off" could stand for any story.
As for the voice over in Dark City..I didn't mind it at all...IMO it's till the a better film than The Matrix.

In The Matrix I knew ECXACTLY what was going to happen next. That's what I hated so much about it, it was very predictable and very cliche. And then they call it a tribute or an ode.

Surely you couldn't have guessed what the matrix was, before actually seeing the movie.
That was probably the only thing you couldn't have predicted.

Well, aside from the fact that Dr. Who and Shadowrun had already used the term Matrix to define the same thing...
But it was still great!

If the term had been used previously in the same context, why don't the BBC sue WB???
Isn't it infringing copyright?

Nah, I don't think so... they were using Matrix in a vague sense they may as well copyright the word 'computer'
Seriously, though. Watch the Dr. Who Story 'The Deadly Assassin' and you will see what I mean. Also 'The Invasion of Time' and the last two episodes of 'Trial of a Time Lord'. The Gallifreyans central computer, called the Matrix, is amazingly similar. Only its function is different.

Blimey, you people have difficulty with basic association sometimes, don't you?
It is constructed the same way,. it's [purpose is not to provide power, though. The minds are stored to help predict the future.
So, same construction, different function. Want me to drop to words of one syllable?
