Sem amor, a respiração é só um relógio tiquetaqueante. O propósito da existência: sentir Outra versão da historia de “Admirável mundo novo”, assim como THX, mas com um visual Matrix, inclusive com a chamada na capa do dvd "o melhor filme de ação feito desde matrix", Equilibrium não é somente uma cópia tentando ganhar fama em cima de filmes já consagrados. Após a terceira guerra mundial, o que restou da humanidade chegou a conclusão de que não sobreviveriam a mais uma guerra de tal proporção. Logo, resolveram eliminar o foco das guerras: Os sentimentos humanos. Para isso, a injeção da droga manipuladora de mente Prozium, tomada em massa. Também é preciso eliminar toda espécie de arte. Assim, sem sentimentos, todos viram máquinas, trabalhando a servi�...Read more

For me, this is kind of like a "The Matrix Unloaded". A very stunningly stylish movie that features action sequences that any martial arts or straight-up action flick would be proud to call it's own. And even tho the story, like The Matrix, seems like it can lose it's audience every couple of turns and again, it does have a more solid & linear structure, making it is possible for the viewer to get back onto understanding it's premise. And I liked that since Equilibrium did not have the big budget that it's computer themed bigger succeeding cousin had, that it came up with a concept called "Gun Kata", to allow for the insane bullet hails that make these types of gun-toting movies the kind that could cause even the hardiest NRA member to bust his own cap. ...Read more

''But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.'' In a Fascist future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system. Christian Bale: John Preston Who doesn't want to see Christian Bale in a Sci-Fi futuristic dystopia where feelings are against the law where he can unleash hell with guns. Like someone seriously on speed this kicks some hugely good choreography and stunt work not too mention shoot outs that will have you in awe. Christina Bale does some of his best acting and shows a tormented soul that once he starts feeling again, he enters a world of senses that ultimately set him free. Equilibrium is the perfect example why I do not...Read more

As vezes o cinema me pega de surpresa. Tô meio de bobeira, pego qualquer filme pra ver e... BOOM! "Equilibirum" fez isso comigo. Não esperava muito deste filme, porém se mostrou uma grande obra de vanguarda, futurítica e de boas atuações. O filme conta a história de um homem que vive num futuro distante (espero), onde as pessoas tomam uma substância para não obter sentimentos (amor, raiva...) a fim de não eclodir mais nenhuma guerra mundial. Porém, este homem descobre o quanto é bom sentir emoções e decide então realizar uma revolução contra essa ditadura. O mais interessante do filme é que ele trata, com bastante eficiência, que não precisamos de robôs para perdermos nossa personalidade. Nós somos nosso próprio perigo, nós nos matamos sem sequer nos darmos co...Read more

Christian Bale is friggen legit in this movie. He plays John Preston who's a government agent who wipes out "sense offenders," people who feel in a world where feeling is not allowed. But the final body-count is not made solely on these people. Eventually, Christian Bale's character is badass and stoked on puppies all at the same time. The concept is somewhat unoriginal but entertaining nonetheless and its got lots of neato characters and fight scenes that make it very very interesting. Between all the whoop-ass C.B is dishing out, there are some very beautiful and touching scenes that may certainly make you tear up. And the fact that the sexiest man alive is in them makes them even better. Equilibrium is a good movie because you watch this guy change and become more. You root for...Read more

Oh, Equilibrium! I can just see the pitch for this movie. "It's Fahrenheit 451 meets The Matrix. And we create a new martial art -- with guns!" Ahh yeah, oooookay!

Except... except it is completely awesome in execution! And the Gun Kata is one of the coolest things ever. And Christian Bale is completely hot like burning fire. And he sacrifices everything he is and has for the sake of a puppy! (the most beautiful puppy on the planet!) Yay! I love this movie!
