    It's a good movie but doesn't hold a feather to the Matrix.

    matrix is overrated with a stupid storyline, this movie has much more depth and feel to it... the casting is good and its stylish

    Its ironic how people think the exact same with equilibrium.

    I loved both movies, but the thing that really stood out in Equilibrium was the gun kata art it was such a unique idea from the director to create his own martial art for the movie. Ultraviolet is from the same director aswell and I hear it contains more of an advanced gun kata art.

    equilibrium is good but it feels to rushed, the action never helped the bad plot.

    I loved the movie and the matrial gun arts is cool :)
    but i agree that i think they rushed it but meh what u gonna do now. I still like the matrix but for a movie with such a poor plot it done not to bad.

    yea. i didnt like ultra as much, but it's not bad, and it uses similar fighting style, not the exact same tho

    The Matrix plot is 100% one of a kind... how can that be a bad plot. You also gotta be a little bit in philosophy to understand it and at least appreciate it so I guess a person of average intelligence really wouldn't enjoy it so I somewhat understand why it gets bashed once in a while. Oh well.

    lol... i kinda remember seeing equilibrium, but that sais alot :rolleyes: because i always remember a good movie :lol:



    And don't bash the Matrix movies... The Matrix, as a whole.... was and is some of the most original and fascinating concepts to ever come out of Hollywood...


    Don't bash a movie because u don't understand it :)

    Yeah I liked it, was pretty good, like the "gun kata" thing :D Isnt the makers of Equilibrium responsible for the movie Ultraviolet? with Milla Jovovic or what her name is... When I saw the trailer I was like hmm another Aeon Flux kind of movie but with more action :D

    SPOILERS............


    basic matrix story is alright, badass robots from the future are ----ing about, but then the idea is ruinined when they go into the computer :S...

    Equilibrium is about a dictator who trys to controll HUMAN emotion and rebels who think feelings shouldnt be ruled which is more of a gripping story

    ..hmm v for vendetta looks alright tho, better then the matrix

    The concept was pretty cool, would be really good if pulled off properly.
