Equilibrium has some fantastic fight scenes. The "gun kata" ideal was pretty sweet.

I rented Equilibrium once from Blockbuster because I was bored and I really couldn't find a better movie. I never heard of it before and it looked like a cheap movie.

That film rocked. It's one of the best action films I've ever seen that nobody ever talks about. The scene near the beginning where he shoots a room full of people in the dark, and the only light is the flash from his guns, that was genius.

Yeah, for a long time I kept hearing about it and dismissed it as a Matrix clone. My best friend asked me if i saw it and he said it was pretty good so I checked it out.


Absolutely love it now. it flew WAY under a lot of radar.


i also like the "1984" plot, the whole emotional homogenization of society.

Yes it did, anyway I would like some imput on the templates I had posted, seeing as I have never been TK in my life, so I got no clue if they will work.

PS thanks for the clicky.

So would you guys recomend watching it? I was tempted at one point but over here in the UK it was pretty much reviewed as a wannabe Matrix clone & I then heard little good about it.


I fancy something differnt to watch, might go rent a copy.

Equilibrium is similar to the Matrix but not a clone. The story is nothing like the Matrix, the story is about a future society where emotions are forbidden and to show emotion is to be killed. The main character is a super-warrior whose job it is to take down people who insist on having emotions. What I found brilliant about Equilibrium's action is that they invented a martial art that uses pistols, that they called "gunkata".

I dont know why all those critics said it was a Matrix clone, it was nothing like the Matrix IMO. Anyway myself along with GreatWhite and some others from the pistol boards will be starting a PA based on this on the Valcyn server if any of you are interested let us know. Mainly pvp and jedi hunting type stuff. Should be awesome
