Matrix is Dark City done manga HK style. Aliens is Starship Troopers and Starship Trooper is Aliens. Robocop is Terminator and Terminator is Outer Limits. The only difference is the talent behind them all. What makes all those unique?
Cinematically, Matrix stands on its own though. Just like a Die Hard, Predator, Aliens... EOT on the other hand is clearly Groundhog Day (or Source Code) with Sentinels and James Cameron military porn. It is great though
imo eot is a refreshinlgy competent blockbuster by commitee. An amalgamation of other cool ideas. If it feels as unique/original to you as some of the genre classics mentioned than I disagree. That is all
