Equilibrium: Cool Idea Of What It
<div class="IPBDescription">means to be human</div> Well after being told what this movie is from Sqirrel master I decided to see this movie called Equilibrium.
Its pretty good in my opinion. Maybe not the best film in the universe there but its a great sci-fi/action moive. The action and fighing is very similar to that in the The Matrix. I wouldnt say it ripps of it but its very well done. We see a kind of bullet time though its played out in real time instead of the slow motion stuff.
Lots of black trench coats and dual akimbo gun action here.
Ill give it a 7.5 out of 10 for its storyline It kinda makes you think. If anyone here has ever read the classic book "The Giver" then you can get a good idea of what this movie is about. Society that has lost the meaing of what it is to be truly human.
Heres a screenie.

"The giver" as in the people are mindless and dont have any feelings or grasp the concept of emotion.
They dont see the "real world" I didnt mean the plot was the same as the giver I ment just some of the concepts.
Action was okay, kind of sparse though (last scene was pretty well done), and I really don't feel like it ripped Matrix, (my friend said it seemed closer related to Minority Report). The sets and costumes were pretty cool though...
Some guy from another forum had a nice avatar from the movie:

And JIC you didn't know, the logo in my sig is one of those from Equilibrium as well <_<
Actualy the Giver is the 2nd most banned book in public schools in america. Dont ask my why, it just is. I know b/c my english teacher made it known when we read it.
And yea those posted pics up above are really cool.
But you're right, the sequels to a wrinkle in time kinda get too weird for their own good.
That was significantly better then "The Giver".

Exactly what I mean about the masochist beatings. Even with the super abilities they had in Matrix, I think the fights were still a bit of a challenge for the protagonists.

Then Neo had to get his Superman powers... loser. :p
Back to topic, the movie does look good, and I hope to see it soon.
Here's a quick orientation : the Grammaton Clerics are essentially an uber-elite policing organization. They are trained in the art of combat in its most mathematical form - understanding and manipulating a fight based on the highest-percentage "kill zone" and statistically-based areas of "return fire". In other words, they learn to fight in such a way so they have the highest possible chance of a kill, and can also 'predict' where a retaliatory strike will almost always occur.
Pretty cool concept, and some of the fight scenes are mind-boggling. A lot of the fights are short, but that's mainly because the Cleric is such a damn effective fighter. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
**SPOILER WARNING**
I was looking forward to a <i>really</i> sweet fight between the main character and his 'partner' near the end of the movie. It's really too bad it was as short as it was.
Hey i play that game too lol!
I love the little back up pistol. When I played that gun early on and there were few players, me and my friend would go into a server and fly into each other and knock each other over.
And the connection? Might as well say it's like CS because it has akimbo pistols as well >_>
*sigh* unfortuately I don't play TO because there aren't any servers which have people on\I have a sane ping to.
JediYoshi, it's a specific style of movie. CS isn't a movie, and it's not about duels and trenchcoats and crazy stunts.
Think 1984 crossed with Farenheit 451 and some kickass Matrix sytle action sequences thrown in. A very deep game.
