Profile of Equilibrium

Equilibrium can be described as bleak, stylized, and clever. The plot revolves around a future dystopia, rebellion, and fighting the system. The main genres are action and sci-fi. In approach, Equilibrium is fantastical and serious. Visually, it involves special effects. It is well suited for a boys' night. Note that Equilibrium involves violent content.

Summary of Equilibrium

In a futuristic society where the government requires the people to stay tranquil and submissive by taking a psychological drug, people no longer have emotions. Because of this, there are no more wars. But when one of the enforcement agents realizes that maybe peaceful oblivion is not the answer, he thinks about overthrowing his oppressors.

The martial-arts sequences take this prosaic thriller to a higher level. Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

A terrific cast, stylish direction, and elegantly choreographed mayhem help make it far better than it might have been -- Though ultimately silly, Equilibrium's shopworn but stylish synthesis of ammo and ideas is surprisingly engrossing. Full Review

Awesome

I don't like how people dislike this movie for not being like the Matrix, you can't compare it to the matrix, it follows an entirely different storyline. It just has a style that resembles the action in the Matrix, or like in Ultraviolet or Aeon... Read and rate it

If the book, Fahrenheit 451 weren't gaudy enough, the movie after the same name was appropriately vapid. Of this latest incarnation, well, I'm at a loss for words. I honestly prefer to watch Aliens vs. Predator for intellectual stimulation. At least... Read and rate it
