This was a movie that I had never heard of but saw the cover in a department store and was intrigued by it because it had Christian Bale on the cover and he is always amazing. So I put it in my rental queue and when it was over sure enough I was right on the money about him but what really caught me off guard was that it was actually an awesome movie as well! Taye Diggs is good but he always plays the same character in every single movie he's in, so he basically was my only complaint acting-wise. The plot was great and even though the writer/director borrowed ideas from a couple of previous successors they still turned a lot of it around so the premise was original.
The special effects were very similar to "The Matrix" movies but they do differ slightly and still have a great effect. The action was fast-paced and the raw human emotion was incredible in certain instances. This was such a pleasant surprise as exciting films like this are becoming scarcer each year and I make sure to cherish the moment when I am fortunate to finally get my paw's on treasures such as "Equilibrium"!
Final Zap:
Movies: I wish I did!
DVD Purchase: No question about it!
Rental: If I wasn't going to buy it I'd rent it over and over.
