»A Matrix Knock off ?«

Ok, ive just seen the trailer of a movie called ULTRAVIOLET with Milla Jojovich (freakin hot!) eemmm ok.. the point is that is VERY similar to the Matrix. Watch the trailer.

hmm tis very silimar to the matrix, the same music, when it goes into her glasses it looks like the bullet dodge on m1 and after many of fight scenes simaler, and jump landing with the floor lumping like jue on FFoO

You should check out Equilibrium if you haven't already (imdb.com...). It's by the same director as Ultraviolet. It's an awe inspiringly kewl film.

Ultraviolet isn't trying to knock off the Matrix in that they have totally different plots. But they both do draw from the same source material (anime). Milla might be my favorite action star making movies today (not comparing her to past action stars). And Kurt Wimmer is an absolutely amazing action director. The gun kata in Equilibrium just blows one's eyes!

is the music anime-ish

That element's more just kung-fu movies in general for the last 15-20 years. Hard rockin' techno timed with kick butt choreography has been a staple of sci-fi kung fu movies since the eighties. As long as it has a beat, a few ethereal synths, and you can fight to it, right.

the point is its from the matrix.

Its very similar, for example when the cops chase her, and a lot more.

I´ll say its like a mix between The Matrix and Aeon Flux (Creepy glass robots ).

Milla Jojovich kicks ass, also Resident Evil 2 suckeddd so bad!

Have you seen the Matrix spoofs made by Knox?

I have, I am not overly impressed with them

Umm, no, the point is it's not from the Matrix. Sounds like typical Juno Reactor stuff, and they'd been doing songs for movie soundtracks long before the Matrix (Virtuosity being one of my favorites).

As for looking like Aeon Flux, I knew somebody was gonna say that about Ultraviolet. But Ultraviolet started production in 2003. Before Aeon Flux. Kurt Wimmer just couldn't get all the backing he needed and everything put together right to get it out to the theaters until now.

I won't judge a book by its cover, but whatever its origins, UltraViolet does not look like it could be so much as compared with The Matrix. What makes The Matrix unique is its subtext and its unanswered questions. What was it I watched a few days ago... I think it was Star Trek: Nemesis -- ridiculous. What a waste.

It's been said before: this story is for thinkers. The no-brainers better steer clear, those who don't comprehend the light.

Equilibrium was a good film

also if you like the philosophy in the matrix series (what is reality and such), check out Avalon
