slycatIt seems I've got a new film to watch every day recently and today is no exception. Today, I watched the Equilibrium DVD. It's a sci fi film about a future where people have to use emotion supressants and any showing of feeling or posession of books, art or music is illegal. One of the guys who upholds the law misses his dose of emotion supressants and learns what it's like to have feelings.
It's style of film done many times before, where an enforcer turns on the system he was supposed to uphold. A theme possibly done first (in a sci-fi theme at least) with Logan's Run so when making this film, they had to make it original, to stand out and be something new when it really isn't. Unfortunately, they didn't do a fantastic job. The gun battles are nicely done, specifically the final battle but ultimately, I had seen it all before and seen it done better.

orona_red now cos he loved the film :P*
Still got more DVD goodness to watch, have About Schmidt that my Dad has as well as my brother's Futurama series 3. Meanwhile, I'm downloading Orange County DVD rip which looks like it could be a fun movie :) I've not got anything planned for tomorrow other than doing my course work so it's probably a good thing.
