Equilibrium (2002)
6/10
Incredibly dumb & pretentious, but nice actions scenes

Warning: Spoilers
There is not much to add as I agree with everything the people who didn't like this movie had already said here. Anyone who can't see what a rip-off this is, probably haven't watched any sci-fi / futuristic movies before, or just didn't pay much attention. I remember seeing the "1984" movie adaption just a few months ago, and in the beginning of this movie I had to wonder whether "Equilibrium" was a remake of some kind... the difference is that "1984" made sense. This movie contradicts itself endlessly, people without emotions seem to be the ones with the most emotions, and vice versa. The whole thing is so predictable and moronic I don't think there can be any spoilers to be said. I only blame myself for watching it even after having heard what it's about (future world's government denying people of feelings in order to prevent wars)... The whole concept is stupid.

On a brighter note, Christian Bale delivers a good performance (even with this kind of script), the movie is quite stylish and nice action scenes. Just turn your brain off and enjoy the shooting...
