nolanr Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I saw "Equilibrium" recently, I have yet to encounter anyone else who's seen it. Pretty good I thought. Little bit of The Matrix mixed w/ a little bit of Minority Report, although fairly original. Anyone else seen or even heard of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm bringing this one back to the top. If you like sci-fi it's a good flick. It's way too good of a movie to be as under the radar as it is. I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, heard of it but it didn't look good enough to rent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 The second one. I'm starting a grass roots movement. So far two coworkers have seen it and thought it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I saw Equilibrium on DVD a few weeks ago. I would rate it 2 out of 4 stars. Some of the ideas were interesting, but the action scenes were too corny for me, and they were most definitely a 'going-too-far' rip-off of The Matrix. Â The story and suspense was lost (or negated, if you will) by some seriously goofy fight scenes. Â The puppy sub-plot was touching, though. Â All in all, the movie was worth seeing but not personally up there in the superior annals of "thinking man's" Sci-Fi. Not like the original Solaris was for me, for example.

EWolfe Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 The Neil Bentley footage, however, is thrilling, if a bit short... Â four out of four stars! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_J Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I love B rated sci-fi. A Boy and His Dog; House 1 and 2; The Army of Darkness; Oblivion; The Blob; Liquid Sky are some I have liked over the years. I don't think there is a werewolf or vampire movie I have not enjoyed either. My kids grew up on B rated horror, sci-fi and comedy...needless to say they have a weird sense of humor.
