The Overlooked Sci-Fi Movie That Got Lost in The Matrix’s Shadow
1999 was a significant year for movies, with releases like Fight Club, American Pie, and The Phantom Menace. Two sci-fi films emerged that year, exploring the idea that reality might not be what it seems: The Matrix and The Thirteenth Floor.
The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves as Neo, reveals a simulated reality created by machines, with the "real" world being a desolate wasteland. In contrast, The Thirteenth Floor delves into virtual worlds, layering simulations from 1937 Los Angeles to 1999 LA and beyond.
Both films prompt their characters to question what is real and which reality they will accept. Author's summary: The Thirteenth Floor, a sci-fi movie, was overshadowed by The Matrix in 1999.
