Much of Inception's source material stems from the anime, Paprika. See it for yourself, and you'll see how much Nolan borrowed from it.

The Matrix, in turn, borrowed heavily from far better films like Total Recall. And for the record, the original Matrix was merely okay, and the every copy of the sequels should be crammed into the pit from The Dark Knight Rises so we never have to see them again.

Are people comparing these films because they are both very thematic? I see no other similarities with these movies.

I've been seeing a lot of people comparing these two films but I don't see the similarities. I'm by no means knocking The Matrix, but I don't see it as being as wildly inventive as everyone seems to think it was. I'm glad they decided to capitalize on the theme but it is one people have pondered for ages. I remember being a child and thinking, "What if I'm just someone's dream?" I thought Inception was completely original. Even if you enjoyed The Matrix more, I feel it was a less inspired work. It might be more memorable, but definitely not more original. Personally I loved them both, but I enjoyed Inception more. Some of that is bias as I'm a huge DiCaprio fan as well as a huge Christopher Nolan fan. I will however admit that the whole red pill blue pill thing will be permanently embedded into our generation...

They are two completely different stories. This is why.
1. In Inception, they are in their sub-conscious. Matrix- the images are being planted into their brains by a machine.
2. Inception is not a post-apocalyptic story.
3. The world is not run by computers in Inception.
4. The action doesn't look like a video game.
5. No one is trying to save the world.
6. No one has superpowers.
7. Inception has no awful sequels (Yet).
