Equilibrium
 
Not horror, so sue me.

I just saw it for the first time last night, and i cant help but feel like i was left out of some wonderful loop back in 2002.

It looked very much in some parts that the writer/director said "I want to make this better than the Matrix", and completely pulled it off.

Christian Bale is certainly a better actor that Keanu (dont get me wrong, i Like Keanu)

I absolutely loved the explanation for how he was able to shoot and dodge the way he did. very original. I also like that all it took was a dog to flip his "switch"

And the "Lobby" scene at the end was leaps and bounds above the lobby scene in the matrix. i never thought that one could be topped, but holy shit did it ever.

Glad you did, amazing film, remember that pm I sent you after I got a little obsessed..lol. I agree that it kills the Matrix.

Now that I've seen that clip again I have to watch it again.

If i remember correctly you wanted that clip for an avatar.....it would be sweet.

I still can't believe this movie just slipped on by without any notice.

I don't know why a studio wouldn't push the hell out of it after the success of the Matrix.

I love this movie; someone from another board recommended it to me. I had never heard of it. I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but I certainly was.:D I like it better than The Matrix as well; both are smart films but Equilibrium had more heart I think. And Bale is a much better actor then Reeves, he carries the movie.

I loved The Matrix...Christian Bale is awesome...I cant see how I wouldnt like this, looking forward to it.

For the record, the storyline is nothing like The Matrix. The comparison's are more on "style".
