ET Warrior Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Alright, rented this movie and watched it last night...and HOLY CRAP. If any of you haven't seen this movie, stop what you're doing, go get it, and see it. It was absolutely phenomenal. The story is brilliant, it's like a cross of 1984 with Farenheit 451, but plenty of originality thrown in aswell. And then..the action scenes are far and away mind blowing at times. People who compare this movie to the Matrix should be shot. It's apples and oranges, this movie is NOTHING like the Matrix. There is ONE instance where the fighting looks sort of like the Matrix and that is it. Get this movie and watch it people. It rocks the socks.

Sivy Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 it is a very good film. whenever i watch it i always this is how the matrix should have ended. Christian bale is really good in it. anyone who doubts that he will make a great batman should watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO of course mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Equilibrium is CRAP! The first half bored me to tears, I nearly fell asleep. The action was so unbelievable, that it was pathetic. The fight at the end was stupid. They could have made the end into an epic battle, but they didn't, it lasted all of 2 seconds. I didn't even particularly like the storyline. Sorry, but I hated it.

Kain Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Watching Reign of Fire ruined anything Bale can make. As far as I'm concerned, he's just a figment of my imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I thought the movie was cool. Although I do have one thing to say- Bale couldn't decide weather to be Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves in that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 Originally posted by leXX Equilibrium is CRAP! *sigh* and all this time you fooled me into thinking you had actual TASTE in movies I guess maybe if you don't like the story driving the movie then perhaps you wouldn't enjoy it, but I thought it was awesome. Bale couldn't decide weather to be Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves in that movie. It's true Edit - You should rent it even though Lexx disapproves Astro, maybe you'll be like me, as I plan on buying that movie today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I love movies driven by the story, I just couldn't get into the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Equilibrium was alright. The action and philosophy it gave out was good, but the story lacked in support. Comon', the police are everywhere, but they don't look in the SEWERS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I really liked this movie, and as far as I'm concerned, I thought it had more substance to it than The Matrix. *shrugs* I wouldn't say it was the best action movie I've seen, but I did like the story, and some of the combat scenes were pretty good. The Gun Kata may not be realistic or even feasible - but it was a cool gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 ET, you've been watchin quite a few movies in the last few days ! either that, or you're being paid off by the studios to flog their flicks... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 I have indeed been watching a lot of movies. It's because my job is supervising teeball practices for the city, and it's rained the last 4 days and all practices have been cancelled, what else can I do?
