Very best movie i ever watch

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Not a bad sci fi movie. Action scenes were well done. Unlike many contemporary movies that are so complex it is a challenge to follow the story and characters, this one was easy. Too easy.

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.

By now, dystopian societies where people are not allowed to feel for the greater good is no longer a new concept. This movie came out 14 years ago though, so I can only assume it was pretty new back then.Still, having that in mind, it was not very entertaining. Some plot twists made no sense while others were predictable, and there were situations where the main character put himself that there is absolutely no chance he could not get caught in such a society. He was allowed to do those things for much too long, for the sake of the narrative evolving to where it did. Even the new sort of martial art of fighting/shooting was quite beautiful and yet there is no way trained soldiers would just wait in line to be shot like that.Equilibrium presents itself as a blend of Fahrenheit 451 and The Matrix and if you are big on action movies you will probably enjoy it. As I mentioned, some scenes really are capable of dazzling you. However, I do felt the plot could have been polished much, much more and in the end it was just another cool sci-fi, action movie. Extra points for the newness of the concept at the time and Bale's performance, but that's about it.

It's difficult to label this a good movie as the screenplay is simplistic, the movie is of adolescent emotionality and the whole story feels simply unrealistic and short-through-the-curve in every manner. It's not that there aren't any good movies in the genre. V for Vendetta is a good example, and closer to the fibre of Equilibrium there's the better movie Gattaca. Of course Sean Bean and Christian Bale act great, as does Emily Watson. Stylization is also sharp and well done. But despite all that, this is in essence a dressed up C-movie in the same league as, for instance, Jupiter Ascending. The movie mainly feels geared to be somewhat of a decrepit action movie which might make adolescent viewers feel tough. For people above thirty and of even minor intelligence, though, three quarters of what is said and done is simply trash. Not my cup of T.
