Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

For some reason or another, Equilibrium has been wrongfully left out of the conversation of the best science fiction movies. Perhaps it was the timing of it's release, or the overall criticism for borrowing too many aspects from other works of the genre. But Equilibrium combines tried and true ideas in a fresh, exciting way, and leaves the audience asking for more.The highlight of the movie is Preston (played by Bale), who is an extremely likable main character. All of his choices are rational and believable, and he genuinely does want you want him do to (something that is becoming increasingly rare in today's motion pictures). People will always remember him the most from The Dark Knight, but Bale delivers on every note. Also, the fight scenes are verrrry good. Along with excellent use of sound, each action sequence is a treat to the eyes and ears. And better yet, every one of these encounters has a meaningful ending. In other words, there are no pointless fights that concludes with one party fleeing, and the audience left hanging. Still, the movie isn't flawless. A few characters remain underdeveloped, and it's somewhat predictable. And this is also one of the few films that could actually benefit from an extra fifteen or so minutes. But on the positive side, the movie keeps you captivated for the entire 100 minutes.If you think you'll like Equilibrium, then you definitely will. If you're not sure, you'll end up thoroughly enjoying it anyway.

Equilubrium is the kind of movie where buried beneath all gun fights and martial arts (actually mixed together as gun kata) there is a statement which will always be relevant. My only problem with the movie is the the practice of taking the drugs that will block your feelings. I mean as far as I understand the system expects eveybody to take their regular doses without any questioning or without any external problems. But such a system is obviously doomed to fail. If for some reason you miss a dose or two and start feeling again, I believe noone would go back on that drug. Then they kill them all and with such a rate there wouldnt be left anybody to kill letalone fight a resistance. I think if instead of a drug that you have to shoot everyday, an compulsory operation where your feelings were surgically removed would make much sense. Other than that I strongly recommedn this movie as it is both entertaining and has actually something to say

This movie might not be as good as the first Matrix, but it's definitely one of the best action movies ever made. The reasons that this movie is pretty much unknown and never had any sequels were because of poor marketing and non famous cast at that time.

This is one of the unforgettable movies out there. Good acting, martial arts and story concept. Maybe they did not have enough budget to promote this movie especially during the Matrix series. But nevertheless, this movie has good action. I tried looking for a real gun martial arts out there. Rofl. The martial arts concept is very interesting and believable.
