If someone has already pointed this out, I did not see it. Anyways, this post contains spoilers for those who have not seen the ending.
I'm going to describe an ending briefly.
In the final installment of a trilogy, the main character, the one whom everything has revolved around meets the omnipotent person who is the root cause of everything. This person then says that the main character is merely part of an unending cycle and that his destiny more or less comes down to pushing the reset button on existence so that a handful of people will rebuild everything and do it all over again.
He is then given a choice; a hollow choice, regardless of what he chooses, almost everybody will die, and his decision, and everything he has done up to this point will not have any impact in the grand scheme of things. Then he fights Agent Smith to the death.
So, am I the only one who sees the startling similarities between the ending of Matrix Revolutions, and Mass Effect 3? It seems rather odd, because this ending did not go over well at all with the matrix fans, so it makes no sense to try duplicating it in another work.
