Equilibrium

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure
The fact that it stars Christian Bale warrants its 5-star rating in my book. Just like his performance in 'Batman Begins,' he is just so INTENSE! The fight scenes are totally entertaining, even to those of us who would rather watch sloppy-kissy chick flicks. The plot is a bit recycled, but the end makes it interesting enough to wish there was a sequel. [Sort of what I felt with 'Riddick'] Now, it makes me wonder, "How in the world did I miss this on the big screen!!!???"

[To all Travolta lovers, doesn't the pose and outfit remind you of the olden days? Hahaha!]

Plot Outline of Equilibrium (2002)
In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: books, art and music are strictly forbidden and feeling is a crime punishable by death. Cleric John Preston (Bale) is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. Whe he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it.

  2. Hi BJ! Guess what? We just got back from watching KingKong. Three hours pala yon, but you'll never feel it. The movie FAR surpasses all my expectations. It's in an entirely different league from the previous King Kong flicks.
