The construct room and the black void
→ 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The Matrix's empty white loading construct echoes the void of HAL's universe. Both Kubrick and the Wachowskis strip the environment to force focus on the idea rather than the setting.

Neo's apartment — the retrofuture city
→ Blade Runner (1982)
The rain-soaked, neon-drenched megalopolis that Neo wakes into is the direct heir of Ridley Scott's 2019 Los Angeles. The Wachowskis have cited Blade Runner as the foundational image of their world.
