The drug Prozium is hailed as the elixir to the world's problems because it suppresses human emotion and thus eliminates the possibility war. From the ashes arises a government that regulates everything and everyone through mind control.

The movie takes place in the near future after a third world war that leaves Earth on the verge of total destruction. 'Equilibrium' is a film that explores what it theorizes to be the root of all worldly chaos, human emotion. The film features some of the best choreographed shootouts I have ever seen, and ends up putting anything in The Matrix Trilogy to shame. They glamorize death as an abstract expression of powder bursts and shrieking projectiles. Given a decidedly artistic presentation within the course of the film, these rapid-fire rhapsodies are exhilarating and oddly beautiful.

Then, through a series of precise, dance like movements, a person can take on several combatants, using exacting, fluid actions to eliminate his attackers. Where The Matrix relies on 'bending' the rules of physics in an imaginary construct of a world, 'Equilibrium' goes the other way and hypothesizes the 'Gun-Kata', a martial arts ballet that allows it's practitioners to predict and anticipate close quarters gun fighting and hand to hand combat. 'Equilibrium', in short, manages to be entirely its own movie. The environment is also a great deal more organic in contrast to the cryptic automaton of the Matrix. No Wires, just pure crazy choreography which makes the action feel all the more authentic.

That is where the similarity ends because while 'Equilibrium' has a few moments of slow-motion it's action scenes are much more original than those of 'The Matrix Trilogy'. A nd, finally, both films rely heavily on stylistic, hyper-kinetic combat scenes that can only be described as, well, reverent. Both films feature a reluctant, messianic protagonist. Both films are about rebellion against a warped reality. Both films feature dark, foreboding cinematography. I can understand the urge to compare 'Equilibrium' and 'The Matrix'.

(And critics, please let me know, why do you all praise Steven's 'Minority Report' which actually borrows ideas from other films of this genre? So, why not give this one a due respect?) Sure, its flaws are too visible, borrowing Orwellian ideas from other films like, say, 'Brazil,' but it is not that ideas themselves but the way they are put into practice that really counts, and on that score 'Equiliburium' is a winner. Sci-fi flick with stunning visuals, 'Equilibrium' deserves much more attention not only from fans of genre, but also from general audiences.
