When was equilibrium released

Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. User reviews 1. Top review. I think this movie was a good movie, and I also think that most critics were unjustified in their reasoning for panning it.

Almost seems like a conspiracy. Anyway, the story was interesting, it set up some kind of a reality where we have this "gun kata", and stuck with it.

The "gun kata" never became a deus ex machina, it just drove the action sequences, while staying clear of the actual plot, which had some interesting twists, certainly more than the matrix. I think Christian Bale's character was a kind of clone of keanu reeves in the Matrix, but he is clearly a better actor, and his range was really challenged.

The other characters were much less "wooden" and comic book like than the evil characters in the matrix, which ironically made them more human, almost too human for an action movie, and that is probably why the critics were so hard on it.

The matrix at least the first one didn't take itself too seriously, but this one did I really enjoyed it, and would have liked to see it in the theatre, none the less a great rent if you liked the first matrix, kill bill, or any other film that blends action with choreography and weaves an interesting tale of reality.

My suggestion might have been more extreme antagonists, but then, perhaps this movie will help me accept more human-like villains in action movies. Anyway give it a try! FAQ 2. What is the infamous "gun swap" plot hole? Can it be explained? What is the significance of Dupont's opulent office? Details Edit. Release date December 6, United States. United States. Miramax United States. Olympiastadion, Charlottenburg, Berlin, Germany. Dimension Films Blue Tulip Productions. Box office Edit.

Technical specs Edit. But it is good news for the underground Resistance looking to instigate regime change. If the newly sentimental Preston can maintain his impassive facade long enough to enact a do-or-die plan, the pump-action revolution will come.

Equilibrium honours the unspoken contract between any action film and its target audience: show us some awesome stuff and then iterate and escalate in every subsequent sequence.

So after establishing Preston as a balletic dervish with a brace of customised pistols, he is subsequently shown to be just as deadly with hand-to-hand combat, shotguns and a samurai sword.

Content warning: it involves a bad guy marching into a packed puppy pen with a shotgun. There are no pets in Libria. As the exterminator goes about his grim work, the supposedly unfeeling Preston flinches with every gunshot. Angus MacFadyen. Sean Bean. Matthew Harbour. William Fichtner. Dominic Purcell.
