    Product Description
    THE MATRIX MEETS MINORITY REPORT

    Amazon.com
    A broad science fiction thriller in a classic vein, Equilibrium takes a respectable stab at a Fahrenheit 451-like cautionary fable. The story finds Earth's post-World War III humankind in a state of severe emotional repression: If no one feels anything, no one will be inspired by dark passions to attack their neighbors. Writer-director Kurt Wimmer's monochromatic, Metropolis-influenced cityscape provides an excellent backdrop to the heavy-handed mission of John Preston (Christian Bale), a top cop who busts "sense offenders" and crushes sentimental, sensual, and artistic relics from a bygone era. Predictably, Preston becomes intrigued by his victims and that which they die to cherish; he stops taking his mandatory, mood-flattening drug and is even aroused by a doomed prisoner (Emily Watson). Wimmer's wrongheaded martial arts/dueling guns motif is sheer silliness (a battle over a puppy doesn't help), but Equilibrium should be seen for Bale's moving performance as a man shocked back to human feeling. --Tom Keogh

    3 out of 5 stars Not original OAR!   February 5, 2010
    C. Youngblood
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Be aware that this is a Canadian import blu-ray and that Alliance has decided to yet again create 1.78:1 out of a movie that was 2.35:1. This means no black bars, but it also means edges of the image are missing and that it's been zoomed in. While I don't own this movie, I think that fans of this film (of which I am one) should consider holding off until a US release. Alliance regularly screws with the aspect ratio of their releases for some reason.


    5 out of 5 stars A Solid Sci-Fi Film & Amazing on Blu-Ray   January 26, 2010
    HorrorGuy (Riverside, CA United States)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I am not sure how I missed this movie but it completely flew under my radar. A girl I was seeing recommended this film and I ended up taking a chance and picking it up on Blu-Ray. I am so glad for the recommendation and that I took a chance on this. This movie did not disappoint at all. Great action sequences with highly choreographed and impressive gun battles.

    This movie has a very interesting view on the future; a society that tries to strip away everything that makes us feeling human beings in an effort to quell emotion, that the society leaders claim, leads to violence, anarchy and inevitably - war. The movie lets you peer into a culture that squashes, with swift brutality, any and all things that spawn passion of any kind.

    Christian Bale is very good in this and the little known supporting cast does an admirable job as well. This is an Alliance title released in Canada primarily and comes to us via import through Amazon. This studio also has current Blu-Ray titles like Kill Bill 1 & 2, From Dusk til Dawn, Blade 1 & 2 and Gosford Park; all of which are very respectable 1080p transfers with great picture quality and DTS Master HD sound tracks.

    Though it does not say on the cover (cover mentions only a Dolby 5.1 and French 2.0 sound track) this Blu-Ray sports a very cool DTS Master HD soundtrack, which sounds fantastic. The picture is very clean and crisp in 1080p HD. The corporate cold and gray culture, which dominates this film, is occasionally met with some very rich colors that pose a nice contrast.

    I was pleasantly surprised how good this was for a relatively unknown film. There are plenty of scenes of brutality and highly stylized graphic violence to wet your appetite for good action and entertainment. If you enjoy Sci-Fi action films this is a must have to add to your Blu Ray collection.

    5 out of 5 stars The Best Not So Great Movie Since Terminator!   December 31, 2009
    FuDog (USA)
    O.k. this isn't a hi budget full of new idea movie.It's a really cool,lower grade amalgamation of other movies in it's genre. All those who like a good sci fi movie know what I'm talking about(remember Terminator?). The actors are surprisingly top notch for this movie and each one plays thier part simply superb.Taye Diggs should get an Oscar for best supporting.It does borrow some ideas but also presents some incredibly novel new ones. The theory and application of the gun kata is brilliant. I also enjoyed the the final duel wich is far from the classic HOllywood version of said event. I feel(emphasize feel) this movie is excellent. "Now that you know it, can you really take it ?" "It's a price I pay gladly."


    5 out of 5 stars Though provoking and intense fun!   November 6, 2009
    Ben Larkins (Rustburg, VA)
    One of my favorite. Easily in my top five, and one of the most underrated movies of all time. Great actors who really sell the role (Christian Bale should have won something for his part), along with a great story that makes you think, but leaves with a nice resolution. Granted, the action does force you to put your logic on hold for a second...but I really don't have a beef with that. So long as the characters actions and abilities have been explained prior to those actions being fleshed out on the screen (ala the Gun Karta training, which explains WHY he can stand in the center of a circle of bad thugs and still take them down) then I'm okay with it.

    It was this movie that made me want to read 1984. Does a lot better job at the whole "government control" theme than V for Vendetta ever did.

    The theme of the movie is brilliant, and Kurt Wimmer does a great job of showing why humans must feel, even if that leads to bad choices down the road.
