Author Topic: Equilibrium Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-06-2002 04:24 PM                        You know, it was Thursday night, I had worked a double, and I decided to preview one of our films opening on Friday. I do not why I picked this film (I was very tired). In the first few minutes of the movie I had decided that I was going to walk to a different auditorium and watch something else. Then that first action scene came on and I watched the movie to the credits. I am not saying this was a good film, however the action sequences were interesting and the storyline kept me going enough that I 'wanted to see what happens next'. This was very much a "B" movie and reminded of a bad 80's futuristic actioner on a shoestring budget. However - I wasn't paying for it and it kept me awake until the end. I'd rent it on DVD. *********SPOILERS: The very MATRIX like action sequences is what I liked the most. The way that Tay Diggs (however you spell his name!)gets it in the end is pretty damn awesome too.The sword fighting and gun scenes were very well put together. Since I am such a huge martial arts fan - I think my opinion is a little biased - but this one had a story too.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-08-2002 01:32 AM                        ***SPOILERS*** There is NO WAY that dude's face could have stayed attached to his head for so long before sliding off, especially with some expressions and whatnot.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-08-2002 07:04 PM                        It's just a movie!!!!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-08-2002 08:37 PM                        I know, and I do find that scene hilarious. But ONLY because it is sooooo fake!  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2003 12:34 AM                        I thought this movie was excellent! I'm surprised they didn't market it at all. With some marketing, it could have made some decent money.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Burns Film Handler Posts: 52 From: dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-14-2003 04:41 PM                     I thought this flick was ratherslow until the end  |  IP: Logged
