The below website offers a similar comparison of the two movies, but it is interesting to note that at the bottom of this other page it states that both movies came from the same source material. This doesn't necessarily explain everything, but it does some of it at least.

...so a few similarities are inevitable!
Indeed, both productions are a hybrid of the "steampunk" adventure fiction written by Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) and the modern Atlantis
mythology popularized by Edgar Cayce (On Atlantis). As such, similarities are inevitable - similar sources, similar plots, similar scenes, similar characters, similar
designs.
This would be very expensive by itself, but it is being put in place by the Public Utility District, which already has a decent amount of capital to work with. The various substations have all been connected with fiber already to various backbones, this is one way they are putting the excess bandwidth to use.
At least this is what their representatives have told me in the past.
As I come from Moses Lake, the largest city in Grant County, I have been excited about this project since hearing of it last summer at the County Fair while visiting home.
But it is only fair to note that while this project has great potential for residents, it has not been installed in very many areas yet. The initial projections say it will take about 4 more years before the entire county has service.
Also for prices, those are just for the individual services, the fee for the connection itself is extra, but also will eventually provide other services including television services and such. The PUD also benefits from having easy access to meter readings, one of their large motivators in the project
