jsut finished watching this movie, and I truly think it's one of the most awe inspiring action movies I've ever seen,
basically the movie is set in a future world where emotion is outlawed and it follows the story of a "cleric" that fights to keep anything that stimulates human emoition well away form any human contact, the plot is highly dramatic but pulled off VERY VERY well for the extreme siuation that the movie puts you in, and then there is the action scenes
I beleive that noone has ever done a gunfight justice, they are such a usefull weapon but every uses slow exaggerated movements and mostly the gunfight scenes lack and pace, but just let me say that the fighting scenes are like the venetian snares of action movies, they are SO FUCKING AWESOME, I don't thinnk any movie has done better action in a movie EVER
go out and hire this movie, it is brilliant.
Matt. Refund.

I personally thought it was a horrible, horrible, horrrrrrrrrible film. Gun Kung Fu indeed, makes me shudder just thinking about it.
But that's just me.

I thought it was a rip off of Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World, but I could be wrong, its been a couple years.

oh shit. i thought this movie was laughably bad. there wasn't a single new idea in the whole thing save the hand to hand gun fight at the end.
i bought this movie before i'd ever seen it based on comments such as those in this thread. if anyone wants it, i'll sell it for $5 plus shipping. seriously.

I'm used to watching independant films, these ideas are really hard to pull off, and you'd more than like get put off by the cheesyness of it all, bu if you can get past that it's a solid film with solid acting and awesome fight scenes

you're absolutely right!
everyone should try watching 415farenheit, reading 1984, and THEN watching the movie again. Not a SINGLE ORIGINAL THOUGHT EXISTS in this movie!
plus, that gun-kata is one of the most flawed, rigid martial-arts I've ever seen!

i watch the movie once. i didnt liked it. too much pathos, too much copying from old sci-fi books about controling your life, etc, etc.
fake sword fights are too stupid to believe its actually a martial art.
AND, the moment where two guys wantwd to shoot themselfs, but no one can coz of the hand moves, my god, that was horrible, so fake so fake.

It's very predictable. And what fucking interesting can be in a predictable movie? READ THE TWO EARLIER MENTIONED BOOKS, and check out the Nineteen Eighty-Four movie, notice when they were published, then think what fucking original is there in Equilibrium.

A better film with 1984 undertones is 'Brazil'. Everyone should go and watch that.
