Not 2OO1.
Its moreso the focus of the film though, I think the Matrix and Interstellar are both a mix of action scenes and quite broad drama.

the difference imo is the visuals used. Thats were Matrix gets so immersive and groundbreaking how shockingly real it feels to live in this digital reality. Especially as we see how Zuckerberg and other tech giants develop exactly into that direction and a lot that felt more fantasy back then now feels like horrific foreshadowing of a close future.
Matrix is imo absolutely groundbreaking in showing this dystopia . It combines it with a kinda cheesy superhero story with a nonactor like Reeves but the visuals alone are imo what keeps it as a monumental movie. Interstellar on the other hand wants to be felt like this heavy movie loaded with meaning while it really is a superficial quite nonsensical sci fi flick with over acted drama .

I think a better matchup would be The Matrix vs Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever

I was responding to someone who said Interstellar was closer to 2OO1 than to The Matrix.

Agreed about the Matrix's visuals being superior. Its action/fight sequences are also obviously great and probably a big reason why it's kicking ass in a cagefighting forum.
However, Interstellar is far from nonsensical. The fact that they had a world-renowned astrophysicist (Kip Thorne) as a consultant and that he actually published a paper in an academic journal based on the calculations he made when preparing for the movie, give it far more legitimacy than anything in the Matrix.
And them coming up with a visual for a black hole several years before one had actually been seen is also pretty impressive.

The Matrix is far more iconic. I loved Interstellar but I don't think it's produced a single meme.

As a huge fan of interstellar; The Matrix has got it beat in almost every category except maybe the soundtrack.

Thank you, I had the same exact reaction. Went from Sci-fi 90%+ of the movie to some cheeseball 80s fantasy movie ending. A Black hole is a magic teleport home device, so bad.

Interstellar didn't have anything interesting to say. Nice soundtrack and a few mind-bending elements but that's about it.
You could probably write a doctoral thesis on the meanings behind The Matrix. It's a documentary on our reality, after all. I'm sure it's happened already.
