Equilibrium--whaddaya think?

I first thought, 'Oh no, not another dystopian film." But the stunt/gun choreography made this an interesting film. And kudos to the location manager--great sets/locations. Well worth watching.

Equilibrium
2002R 107 minutes

In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: Books, art and music are strictly forbidden, and feeling is a crime punishable by death -- a rule that's enforced by feeding the denizens a mood-limiting drug. John Preston (Christian Bale) is a top government official responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. But when he misses a dose of his own medication, he experiences a pang of conscience.

I had the dvd not too long ago and to tell the truth I could not get into in spite of the fact it is the type of movie I would ordinarily like.

3. Very innovative stuff

It's hard to take a movie of this theme and do something new, but the director certainly pulled it off. It was, however, one of the most boring and self-serving director commentaries I've ever listened to. I kept waiting for him to talk about the movie, but 90% was about himself.
