Oh, I totally wasn't supporting the meme that it's a rip off and sucks just because it's plot structure is like a previous film, I'm just sayin' for me when I heard about it/saw it all I could think about was how similar it was to this other movie that I also loved, and looked forward to it based on that perception. It's actually part of drama/film and cinema that I love, the sense that we all draw on the same stories/tropes, and that when done well, can add to the overall lexicon.
Not that I'm not guilty of doing a rip off rant now and then, because hello to Buffy's Hush/Dark City.
