I really enjoyed Equilibrium (2002). Is it derivative of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451? Absolutely. But so was V for Vendetta.
It's a B level film that still packs a punch today, particularly in a dystopian era of politics. The message of learning to connect continues to be relevant in a hyper connected, but shallow relational landscape.
If I could get a version of the movie with the swish sounds removed then it'd be 10/10. I love that movie
not without incident.
Don't forget that it's riding heavily on the cinematic style of The Matrix. Doesn't matter though, still an excellent movie, especially if you watched it as a teenager!
