Equilibrium

We just watched Equilibrium (imdb link). I say - go watch Aeon Flux (imdb link) instead! Much more colour, much more fun, much more story.

Equilibrium was rather pointless, clumsily and hardly satisfactory performed. Gray, quasi-nazi scenography and a story I have seen in too many variants to be able to work up any form of enthusiasm for.

The "resistance" shimmered when you got a glimpse of what it was about (e.g. emotional artifacts), but they lost it all in the many strangely alien full on shoot-outs and guerrilla-like scenes where resistance was slaughtered by the police. This movie could have been so much more, but I get a feeling they flirted too much with potential game producers to care about it (or to afford?).

Emily Watson could've shone and Christian Bale is a cool dude, but that didn't save this movie.
