I don't really understand the comparisons to the Matrix. The movie is very derivitive, yes, but it takes so much more from the major dystopian novels (1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451). The only connection to Matrix I can find is they both contain action sequences.
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this movie. The first time I watched it, I had difficulty getting past all the homages to the dystopian novels, but repeated viewings were much more enjoyable.
My only complaints regard the firefighter aspects. Why the need to verify the Mona Lisa's authenticity, if a copy would be just as illegal as the original? And why keep a repository of illegal material, and what gets kept in this repository vs. what gets burnt on the scene?
