  Im quietly confident that everyone on here has seen this movie at some point, but, while looking for inspiration for an oldie to watch last night i decided on Equilibrium as has been several years since i last watched it. Starring Christian Bale, i love this movie. Yeah some of the effects are a little cheap as chips but, who cares, its a great film in my opinion. What does / did everyone else think of the film? If by chance you have not seen it before, highly recommended.

  I remember this film, I only caught it by chance when it was on film4 or something like that, I remember it being a really interesting film with a strong underlying message, the fight scenes were amazing but as you said, the some of the effects could be a little rough,

  I've got this on DVD and I have to agree I quite enjoy it.
  And you can't argue with how well the fight scenes are choreographed.
  
  Although I believe the director the fight choreographer had a disagreement about the fighting style. The director doesn't like what ended up in the film so he went off and made Ultraviolet (with Milla Jokovic).

  I not only enjoyed the fight scenes (more the gunplay scenes than anything else) but also Christian Bales performance in the film, following his transformation. Ultraviolet..need to rewatch that, know i have got it knocking around somewhere. Cant recall for sure but why am i associating it with being more than a little shite. Need to rewatch to confirm. Oh, and fuck the director, his call was a bad one and im glad the fight choreographer won that disagreement.

  Ultraviolet is not worth a rewatch.
  You remember it being terrible because it was terrible. And because it wanted to be about vampires but not calling them vampires.

  Thanks for the heads up thisscotsman. Thats saved me wasting 90+ minutes of my life. Yet another turkey starring Milla Jovovich. At least she has the Resident Evil films to fall back on, although if memory serves the next is scheduled to be the last (probably long overdue haha).

  Are the Resident Evil films really something to fall back on?
  The first film was passable and nothing since then has been any better. Admittedly I haven't watched all of them but that's just because I can't put myself through it.

  Oh, they not that bad. By something to fall back on i mean of course that Milla has been the lead in every single one and as such, its a guarenteed wage when she does not seem too much in demand, movie wise, these days. They are just a bit of harmless fun after all. Isnt she involved with the director or something. Suppose its the its not what you know lol

  Yeah I'm sure she is sleeping with the director. They may be married aswell.
  Even for a mind numbing 90m I think I would rather try and find something else.
