The Grid based on the The Matrix?

We've all played in the Grid level. And the vast majority of us have seen the movie The Matrix. Now, think back to the part of the movie where Morpheus has been captured by the agents, and Neo and Trinity go to rescue him. When they enter the building where the agents are holding Morpheus, they go through a lobby, where one of the movie's best action scenes takes place, and a huge shoot out occurs. But if you look closely, this lobby looks extremely similar to one of the rooms in the Grid level. Take a look.

Afer all of the security troops have been, "eliminated," Neo and Trinity get into the elevator and head upwards. The two rooms look almost exactly the same in this part, except for some color differences. Just look at the stripes on the floo,r and the two columns on either side of the elevator.

The elevator is also present and operational in the Grid level, and I put Joanna in her leather outfit thing in there in Trinity's place. If I had a third controller, i could have put another character in Neo's place, but.....

One of the most memorable parts in this scene was when Trinity ran onto the wall and did a flip to behind one of the columns. I hear that they're working on a Gameshark code to let Joanna run up the wall and do a flip as well... Or maybe that's just a crazy rumor.

Heh heh, you never know....

The troops futily attempt to shoot Neo as he runs with blinding speed between the columns and the wall. All of the fire kicks up a lot of rock fragments and stuff, so you can barely see Neo's outline between the columns on the right. I couldnt exactly re-create that dust in Perfect Dark, but i can still get the weapon...

And now, for the sake of looking cool, a few select The Matrix pictures for you viewing pleasure:
