According to the Wikipedia page for the movie, the director, cast and crew commentary on the DVD confirms that:

The film contains homages to H.G. Wells, the films The Evil Dead, Zulu, Aliens, The Matrix and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

That means that the dialogue mention by you is directly referring to The Matrix.

This doesn't answer the question, only provides a list of other movie references within the movie. – TylerShads♦ Jun 5 '12 at 12:02
@TylerShads he asked was this a deliberate reference to the Matrix film with Neo and Morpheus? then lines from wiki clearifying it by yes. – Ankit Sharma Jun 5 '12 at 12:28

I think what TylerShads is getting at is: there's no confirmation that these EXACT lines were definitely, YES, THE reference to The Matrix, merely that the commentary confirms there ARE references. Given the similarities and confirmation of references, I tend to think that the question is answered satisfactorily, but there might still be more references to the Matrix contained within. Finding others COULD make these exact lines a happy coincidence. – Morbus Iff Jun 6 '12 at 13:45
