As long as I've been online, there's always been at least one person that won't shut up about it. That's been since 2000-ish.

Since they were both likely in production at the same time, it was likely just a coincidence. I never cared for Dark City anyway.

It is basically familiar territory, territory mined by Dark City only a few years back. The Matrix, however, is an immeasurably superior film, simply by virtue of the fact that it does not take itself seriously. At times, the characters play their ludicrous lines so deadpan, it achieves a bizarre spooflike quality. PG Cooper thebtskink

So Robin-55 is "everyone". Cool, good to know.

Also, Dark City is very good, but we can apply the same "it's unoriginal" critique you guys are to The Matrix. It smashes noir, German Expressionism, Kafka, and cyberpunk together. It didn't invent any of this shit. And that's fine.
