Trailer out for "Equilibrium"... looks amazing

Hmmm...

Look very UN-orginal, but I could still like it. I woudln't expect too much from it.

It's almost like Judge Dredd. "I am the law!" 😀
 
I read this reivew (via /.).

The movie looks VERY nice and I plan on seeing it. Yes, it does borrow elements from other movies and books, but they say it very much worth seeing.
 
Good lord, can they steal ANY MORE from the Matrix?
Story set in a futuristic arena with a huge all-powerful oppressive regime , ultra-powerful main character who plans on overthrowing it, guns, swords, impossible acrobatics, bad dialogue, and a violation of the laws of physics every three seconds.



I like it.

Don't be stupid, it the idea behind the plot is from Brave New World and 1984 NOT the matrix.
 
I'm so sick of the Matrix. Everyone makes it out to be some great movie. Two words = Keanu Reeves. The boy can't act his way outta a paper bag. I mean the movie was "good" for entertainment value, but damn people make it sound better than it is.

What's worse is now everyone is using the same stupid "i can see the bullet flying in mid air and it lookes like it's leaving a wake!" stuff. When I saw Bond last weekend, THREE of the four previews used that stupid special effect. Hello Hollywood, It's used and abused...get over it already. Bah.

The Matrix IS a great movie- not only cuz of the action like most make it out to be, but cuz of the story... anyway, I agree, the effect is overused, but it looks cool nonetheless. It's like being the first movie to use slow-motion- hey, if it works and looks cool, everyone else is gonna start doin it too.

...so Reeves can't act... who the heck cares? all they needed was someone who could say "whoa" 😉 haha
 
I saw the movie day before yesterday and it wasnt that bad. Nothing original but it was still ok. I love the fact that they are driving Cadillacs and using AK-47's as well as desert eagles (i think but im not 100% sure) after World War 3 😀
 
I saw it some days ago and thought it was OK. It's not action-packed like some people make it out to be, but it does have some good scenes. You could tell it was pretty low budget... the extras were REALLY bad 🙂 And it has some cheesy stuff in it.
 
damn, I am hoping they are still playing it in the theaters when I head back to SFBA next week...snowball's chance, but I'm hoping
 
I saw it tonight. Very good. Too bad teh marketing is so bad. The big theater in this area only had one showing on Friday. Not a Maxtix RIP, good action, and a good story.
 
I'd recommend it. If this movie were to have another title, i'd call it "Dancing with Guns." Just watch, and you'll know why. Tis beeyoooteeful.
 
any reason why its only going to the top 20 market i really wanted to see this but the closest theatre is in NJ about an hour away
 
this flick is definitely not for everyone, but I had a good time. I like Bale, Diggs and Bean though & they all deliver nicely.

They do recycle alot of standard 1984/BNW fare, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, but they take the action in some interesting directions - feels alot like Gattica with guns at times.

Yes, I've heard nothing but good reviews and comments about this movie. Sure, it's not your typical hollywood overhyped cookie cutter movie extreme, but man, I'm kinda glad that it's not. It's a breath of fresh air that's more than welcome. I'm definately going to see it. Just as soon as I get done doing my marathon viewing of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
 
It's crap, crap, crap. It's such a conceptual ripoff off Brave New World, Farenheit 451, and 1984. It's so bad it's pathetic. I don't know how it possibly got into the theaters instead of being straight to video. That dragon movie with Christian Bale was better.

I haven't seen the movie yet but I wouldn't necessarily pan a movie because it was based on concepts from other novels or movies.. People seem to forget that Gattaca was a rip off of Brave New World and that the Matrix ripped off Dark City and Terminator 2..
