Review of Equilibrium

Equilibrium (2002)
5/10
Unoriginal Sci-fi Pulp
17 June 2004
The best way to describe this film would be as a collage of pop culture and dystopian sci-fi clichés taken right out of "Brave New World," "Fahrenheit 451," and "1984." Sadly despite an impressive beginning and a decent performance by Christian Bale, this film felt extremely disjointed, and made logic leaps when the story ran out of things to recycle. What started out as an impressive film, ended as a very mediocre one, with no emotional impact. However some interesting choreography is present along with some early Special effects that look good for this films alleged budget. Despite it's flaws, it's still just harmless low brow escapist fun.(2 stars)
