The plot and ending were surprisingly similar to that of Dark City. Which was stated at the release of the original.

I also see the similarity in the blowing up the Death Star twice and the cracking up of Smith, again, twice.

I'll have to watch it again however before I fully understand the subtext.

One thing that I'm entirely sick of is the critics and their response to this film. They all seem to say "i understood it", "yeah I get it" followed by "but I didn't like it anyway". The one point I fail to see in any reviews is what it was about, or at least some hint that they have an answer. Instead it seems as if the film, in its complexity confused them so they just have to blanket it with a nod and a "oh sure I get it" with no explanation.
