Other movies similar to The Matrix

i know of movies such as equilibrium, dark city, and underworld, any others?

thanks

People will reply when they know the movies. In the mean time, please Do Not spam.
Thank-you

I can only think of The One starring Jet Li. That's also a rotten movie and shouldn't be compared to the Matrix, so I'm still thinking.

maybe Pi ?

About a man who, at the end of the movie, can see everything as a mathematical formula or function. I think the moral of this story is that when we should know all the secrets of the universe there would not be any purpose anymore to live.

Lol, and that we all should drill a hole in the side of our head??
Yes I agree I liked PI. It was an interesting film, to say the least, isnt all that related to the matrix though. But I get what your saying with the mathematical terms of it.

Terminator is basicallly the same idea as the matrix, only humans are not enslaved. Machines become self aware and wreak havoc on the human race

Has anyone seen Dark City, it's alot like the Matrix and it came out before the matrix.

It's a slight stretch, but in action/fighting So Close (one of the previews on the Underworld video) is fairly Matrixy. It was slightly cheesy, but it was fun to see (once).

There was another preview on that video too, I can't recall exactly, I think it was called The Returners? That looked fairly Matrix-like, if I remember correctly.

But you know, it's highly doubtful that there's a movie out there that has that special something that the Matrix trilogy possesses. The Wach bros definitely took things to a new level.

NEO_01, yes, there are lots of threads around here that talk about Dark City.

Check out the Thirteenth Floor. It predated the Matrix and even has the green code. Great movie. Vincent D'Onofrio and Rachel Weis star. Let me know what you think.
