Equilibrium (2002)
Bottom line: An enjoyable flick
Equilibrium is a fun movie, with great acting, a great supporting cast, a story thats fun to follow along with, and great style. As for the action sequences, some may compare them to the Matrix, but that is irrelevant. The action in Equilibrium is much more realistic, it maintains a sense of style and a little choreography without getting overly-extravagant. The sequences are a joy to watch.
Everyone who hasnt seen the movie yet: The bottom line is that this is a pretty solidly put together science-fiction/action movie that is really fun to watch.
As for the rest of you...
1. It doesnt matter what stories this movie's plot is similar to. Yes weve seen similar, nearly identical ideas before, but if you dont think EVERYTHING is just a copy of something else, that is just naive.
2. This is a work of SCIENCE FICTION, people. I would think self-proclaimed Star Wars fans could understand that. Reality is defined by the movie, not by us. Accept the fact that these men are trained well enough to take down seven armed guards without firing a single shot. After all, why not accept the unpreparedness of those same guards if you can accept the atrocious aim of every single stormtrooper that has every pointed a blaster at Luke Skywalker or Han Solo?
3. Plot hole? What plot hole? ...could you describe the plot hole, sir? (check the messageboard)
