Reviews for Equilibrium
'Equilibrium' succeeds primarily because of Christian Bale's uncanny ability to project the awakening soul of the character he portrays.

This inventive, low-budget science-fiction movie stands on its own, from its bracing, ingenious fight sequences to its literate roots in dystopian fiction.

Top CriticIt's the action sequences in this movie that sell.

Top CriticAn entertaining but unspectacular film. Pretty goofy at times - but the slick and gleefully self-indulgent violence will not disappoint the action fan.

A moderately entertaining cautionary tale.

Giggling at the absurdities and inconsistencies is part of the fun. But the talented cast alone will keep you watching, as will the fight scenes.

What it lacks in originality it makes up for in intelligence and B-grade stylishness.

Top Critic... Equilibrium is one of the better action/sci-fi movies of the year ...

Superb production values & Christian Bale's charisma make up for a derivative plot.

You could rant at me for hours all the reasons it sucks, and I'd probably agree with most of them -- but the point is, I had fun.

If you were disappointed by recent sci-fi actioners like Terminator 3, then you’d probably be pleasantly surprised by this underappreciated movie . . .

C’est un film qui rivalise avec les plus gros blockbusters hollywoodiens. Je l’ai trouvé beaucoup plus satisfaisant que The Matrix Reloaded.

Equilibrium is what George Orwell might have imagined had today's mood-altering drug therapy been envisioned by chemists in 1949.
