Wissenswertes
Douglas Hall's house has been seen before in several other science fiction films: as the exterior Detective Deckard's apartment building in Ridley Scott's Der Blade Runner (1982), and several years later as the apartment of a drug lord in Predator 2 (1990). Located in the affluent Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, the home is known as the Ennis-Brown House and was designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Patzer
When Douglas asks Grierson (Hanlon Fuller) about having flashbacks, Grierson references being in World War I. Since the program is set in the 1930s, prior to the second World War, Grierson wouldn't refer to the previous war as World War I. Before World War II, World War I had other names, most famously "The Great War." While it is a computer program, and knowledge doesn't necessarily operate the same way as in the "real world," there's no logical reason for characters to be programmed with that term, and Hanlon, as the designer, would know the proper terminology for the time since he actually lived during the 1930s.

Zitate
Hannon Fuller: [First lines] Ignorance is bliss. For the first time in my life, I agree.

Crazy Credits
Before the opening credits, this René Descartes quote is seen on screen: "I think, therefore I am".

Thoughtful Sci-Fi in the Vain of Gattaca

The Thirteenth Floor is a thoughtful and engaging film that asks its audience to think about the difference between reality and virtual reality. The Matrix asks similar questions in an action format appealing to a wider audience, but the Thirteenth Floor exceeds the Matrix in two respects. First, it uses a thoughtful approach that establishes its characters as more than 2-D, comic-book type heroes and villains. Second, it builds longer and with more subtlety, so that the payoff comes much later.

And a delightful payoff it is. Imagine the Matrix with less action fluff, real human relationships, and a plot twist reminiscent of the Sixth Sense. Fans of thought-provoking science fiction in the vain of Gattaca will enjoy the Thirteenth Floor just as well.
