Equilibrium

rented it this weekend, i liked it.

trailer

Damn good movie!

I didn't know what to expect but I haven't seen this cool fighting scenes for a long time. Since Matrix I guess. Pretty low budget but HIGH quality!

Highly recommended.

Ya I bought it on DVD just because the trailer looked cool. I was not disappointed.

MacGorilla · May 9, 2004, 09:23 PM

I thought it was worth the rental. I really wanted to see Christain Bale, aka the next Batman, in action.

corny, tired plot that is simply a spin-off of the matrix

sek929 · May 9, 2004, 10:21 PM

Came out before the Matrix, cool ass movie.

The plot was decent, resembles 1984 quite a bit (one of my more favorite books).

Though I have to say the most inventive part of the movie was gun martial arts, really cool and futuristic. Character development was a bit weak but of well.

Haven't watched this movie. Since the Matrix series had huge amounts of money behind it, and yet it still pretty much sucked ass and requires a large encyclopedia just to understand, I'd say this must be atleast as good.

Maybe just because at the end you won't say to yourself: WTF?!

Matrix, The (1999)
Equilibrium (2002)

I don't see how the Matrix and this movie have ANYTHING in common.

What computers are enslaving humanity or virtual worlds are there in Equilibrium?

Did Razor ever apologize?

rjenkinson · May 10, 2004, 04:12 AM

iNeusch · May 10, 2004, 04:15 AM

Was a nice movie
But the last fight was too short... many they missed battery in the cam

Peter · May 10, 2004, 05:23 AM

Monsters Inc was better

I thought it was pleasantly funny/unpredictable how short the final battle was

selfabduction68 · May 10, 2004, 08:34 AM

Listen to the director's commentary on the final fight. It's pretty amusing, and it explains why it was so short.

Except for cool fighting scenes and being a sci-fi, nothing in common.

Angus_D · May 10, 2004, 12:19 PM

I thought it was enjoyable but definitely not a classic. All a bit too silly really. Interesting idea though.

djohnson · May 10, 2004, 12:44 PM

Hmm, might have to check it out.

selfabduction68 · May 10, 2004, 09:50 PM

I'm looking to buy it, but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere. It is a GREAT movie.

I don't know what he's referencing, but it could be that Equilibrium was actually made before the matrix but wasn't distributed until much later.
