Equilibrium

I remember when Equilibrium came out in the cinemas. It had Christian Bale in it, someone I didn’t know at the time, being 12 I wasn’t one to have seen American Psycho! Anyway, at the time I remember seeing a trailer on a video tape, they used to always have trailers at the start of videos, as most of you probably remember.

When I first saw the trailer I thought it looked a bit too similar to the matrix, with all the flashy gunfights, but the other day I managed to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised. There have been many unknown film gems in the past few years, and I thought that this was one of those films. It was quite a good film, although it ended very strangely. It’s about the future of mankind, quite an extreme look at the world and the government which presides over it. Make sure you give it a watch, from what I hear the film wasn’t given that much in terms of advertising, and at the time the reviews weren’t too good. But really, out of the crap that is churned out nowadays and this movie, i’d go for Equilibrium!
