I like it almost as much as the first Matrix. Very entertaining and satisfying sci-fi, action-thriller. Shame that it got overlooked.

An interesting mix of Fahrenheit 451, 1984 and The Matrix. Although the story is familiar (dystopian future where emotion is forbidden) I guarantee this is the only one to feature Gun Kata. If that intrigues you, by all means watch.

One of the greatest Sci-fi films with a lot of "Matrix" like action scenes. The idea behind the movie is solid and the acting is good as well. If you like the Matrix or V for Vendetta check this film out right away!

good fighting style

This movie is so good. The police are called "Grammaton Clerics" which is a sweet name for police. The final fight is my favorite fight scene of all time (hand to hand combat with pistols). Whatever style of kung-fu / kirate or whatever this movie uses is the best. I believe it was used in some other movies, maybe Ultraviolet.

50%

Action: 2 / 3, Comedy: 0 / 2, Good vs Evil: 1 / 1, Romance/Love: 0.5 / 1, Special Effects: 0.5 / 1, Plot: 1 / 1, Music: 0 / 1. Total is 5 / 10 or 50%, which is 1 out of 4 stars for my rating system.

Bale is good as usual and some outstanding fight sequences are presented though bit players like Diggs really drag and struggle with the concept.

"He's a Sense Offender!"

Yes, sounds alot like "sex offender." I found it funny when they yelled SENSE OFFENDER countless times. Heh, Sense. Sex. Heh. ANYWAYS.

In a dystopia about this nearby future where emotion is forbidden under strict Control from the Goverment.

This movie is much more 'under-rated' then The Matrix, which I would consider incredibly similar, but I enjoyed them equal. I liked the movie, but to me, I just found it very entertaining. Nothing amazing, just had lots of fun. Maybe it is because off and on I would stare at the wall missing some important parts of the film, because I felt there was nothing better to do than stare at nothing. Once i noticed i had missed 3 minutes of what could have meant importance to Equilibrium's plot, i didn't really seem to care.

The director did a great ...
