Review of Equilibrium (2002) by Tgdrox — 16 Feb 2015

If you don't compare it to the Matrix or any other action movie, it's pretty good.
Christian Bale's character doesn't start out good. He's actually a really bad guy. You watch his character grow throughout the movie.
You really end up hating the bad guys in a good way. You root for Christian Bale's character, not because he's such a good guy, but because he's taking it to the bad guys.
The action sequences are not realistic. No, they are not.
But if I wanted realistic I'd go to public square and watch the drunks box it out.
I go to the movies to escape reality, and this movie did exactly that.
On the negative side, it seemed the black guy and the main villain were pretty emotional. Smiling is a sign of happiness, and shouting is a sign of being upset in some way. So that was very stupid.
It's not perfect. The characters don't have much personality, but it has a good story.
