I don't know, it is a bit more like a scifi version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

This is a much better comparison considering Aslan is actually Jesus Christ. Although while in the Matrix you can say that Neo is an allegory for Christ, in C.S Lewis's world, Aslan is literally the manifestation of Jesus Christ in Narnia. So it'd not a perfect comparison. But much better than Star Wars.
