Just perfect...

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

In an oppressive future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system and state. Equilibrium is a well choreographed action film but it's also a smart drama that takes time to flash out it's main star but also showcase the start of him having feelings and becoming an 'One Man Army' this film might have terrific action and fight sequences but it's also very well directed and with a great story that even tho it's kind of like The Matrix it's still not some type of B-Movie dumb fun it's actually quite smart and quite the suprise plus Christian Bale giving an absolute amazing perfomance in the main role to bad that his Batman couldn't be as badass as he was in here.

I've seen Equilibirum over a decade ago, and it's still one of my favourite movies. Christian Bale was the perfect protagonist for this movie, he's truly the best actor imo. I love the acting, cinematography, the dialogue, the meaning, the action effects, even the make-up job is fantastic.

Wow, what a movie. I just saw it on Netflix, after user reviews here caught my curiosity. I don't regret it at all. Quite simply, it is one of the best sci-fi flicks I have had the pleasure of watching, and probably the most underrated in general. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the writing, the action scenes, the performances (albeit not great, but still very good), etc. all fit together perfectly to form what in my opinion is a more-than-excellent film that should have gotten WAY more attention by audiences all over the world. I just regret having watched vastly under-appreciated movies like this and Gattaca so many years after they were released, I'm sure then I would have been blown away by them even more than now. For a movie which has so many characters devoid of feelings, this movie certainly makes me feel a lot of emotions of all kinds! I would recommend it to anyone.
