I rented it on DVD last night and this movie kicked butt. It is more Matrix then the Matrix Reloaded. It is set after World War 3 in a society where emotion has be outlawed and everyone has to take emotion killing drugs or face these elite killing squads called Tetragammaton Clerics ( basically killing elite monks ). The gun action is insane. It got two thumbs up from Ebert & Roeper. If you haven't heard or it or seen it..... check it out. |

I heard about this movie. It's not even out in cinemas here yet, if ever. Isn't that guy Christian Bale in it? The trailer reminded me of 'Minority Report' and the inferior 'Imposter' more than the Matrix. |
| The Omen:
I saw it , and its good. I went to see it in the movies because i liked Bale in American Psycho. I dont know if its better than Matrix R, because i havent seen that yet. |

I liked the Matrix Reloaded, but I'll try to make a point of seeing this, despite the fact that I'll forget what the darned thing is called by the time I post this message. |

Yeah Christian Bale is in it. The movie is more like Fahrenheit 451 with Logan's Run / 1984 / Matrix / Total Recall kick. As for Matrix Reloaded.... it was ok... it could seriously use some editing plus it could have ditched a few storylines and clarified others. If you think the Matrix is a 10 of a movie, Reloaded probably rates a 5 or 6... maybe even a 7. Based on that scale I'd give Equilibrium a 8 or 9. The gun action is kinda unigue style. It isn't really Hong Kong gun action or Matrix gun action .... it is unique looking. I ended up buying the DVD the next day and listened to some of the Director's commentary..... he says it looks the way it looks because he didn't have much of a budget..... BUT it ended up looking seriously cool on film. |
