Sci-fi rehash, which is more interested in video-game-style violence and a high body count than exploring cool story possibilities or preventing plot inconsistencies.
12/06/02
Naggingly inconsistent and oppressively dumb.
12/06/02
Cold, Sterile And Lacking Any Color Or Warmth.
12/17/02
The premise is overshadowed by the uberviolence of the Clericks as this becomes just another kung-fu sci-fi movie with silly action sequences.
12/06/02
The self-serious Equilibrium makes its point too well; a movie, like life, isn't much fun without the highs and lows.
12/05/02
The dumbest view of the future I've seen (and, reader, I survived John Travolta in Battlefield Earth).
03/16/03
The notion of deleting emotion from people, even in an advanced Prozac Nation, is so insanely dysfunctional that the rampantly designed Equilibrium becomes a concept doofus.
12/06/02
A seriously bad film with seriously warped logic by writer-director Kurt Wimmer at the screenplay level.
