CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Faced with the realization that he has been tricked into destroying the resistance, Preston (Christian Bale) summons all his strength to fight back.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A man who dares to feel finds his life in danger in this cautionary science fiction drama. In the future, after a Third World War has decimated much of the Earth's population, a new nation known as Libria rises up under the unquestioned leadership of Dupont (Angus MacFadyen). Believing human emotions and their expression were to blame for the failings of past societies, The Father has decreed that all citizens must take a daily dose of Prozia II, a drug which levels out the emotional landscape, and that all forms of creative expression are against the law; violating either regulation can be punished by death. John Preston (Christian Bale) is a Grammaton, an elite law enforcement officer who tracks down and punishes "sense offenders." One day, Preston accidentally fails to take his Prozia II, and for the first time begins experiencing emotions himself. Preston becomes aware of an underground of rebels who refuse to take their medication and have embraced art and literature, and he finds himself becoming infatuated with one of their number, Mary O'Brian (Emily Watson). Equilibrium is the second feature-length directorial effort from Kurt Wimmer, whose screenwriting credits include The Thomas Crown Affair and Sphere.

![T-800 CSM 101 Arrival | Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Remastered]](/img/n.gif)
The most realistic shootout in movie history. My dad was in Vietnam and he said it was just like this.
🤣🤣
My friends dad said the same thing except he was using colt python revolvers with speed reloaders and had 4 instead of too🤠
True fact: This IS actual footage of your dad in Vietnam
I can back this up,I was there, I’m 17🙏🏼
That's funny young buck. 1997-2006 US Marine infantryman Sgt. Semper Fi
Love that he spares the tester guy because he is scared, meaning he feels.
Probably, he was also off the drug the leadership used to suppress the feelings of the masses.
I think he spared him simply because he wasn't armed. Clerics are taught not to fire on unarmed people. It was probably too alien a concept to him to break that tenet of his code just because the guy was 'an enemy.'
I never realised that. Funking great observation man.
@@antonyduhamel1166 I dunno' man, he kills the other tester guy, who is blank-faced and emotionless, without hesitation. It's the first guy he even shoots in fact.
@@BoofPack69 Thought I saw a weapon at that guy's side. Will rewatch.
I remember seeing this as a teen and thinking why this movie went under the radar for so many people. It was such a cool movie.
Well, the main reason would be that the movie is a lesser matrix knockoff. Not without its charm but I like to imagine the story without the matrixy stuff in it. Much better
@@christophzeit6282 nowhere close to the matrix
@@christophzeit6282 Equilibrium was already 'in motion' before The Matrix was released. Im sure that since filming started after The Matrix released, some inspiration was taken. Much like Inspiration from Dark City was taken for The Matrix.
In short, its no more of a knockoff of The Matrix than The Matrix is a knockoff of Dark City.
Because it only ran for less than a month in US theaters.
Wikipedia: "The film had an estimated production budget of $20 million. International pre-release sales had already made a profit, so the studio reduced the film's promotion and advertising budget to avoid the risk of the film losing money; as a consequence, theatrical release was limited. The film was shown in only 301 theaters at its widest release in the United States, earning $541,512 in its opening week, and only $1.2 million when it closed on December 26, 2002; the film earned $4.1 million internationally, for a total of $5.3 million worldwide."
It sucked
"The real father died, years ago.... in an alleyway taking his wife and son home from the opera."
Why does that sound familiar? 🤔Hmmm
Whate are we talking about hitiler in ww2 or Batman
Underrated comment
Actually, in the movie, Equilibrium, the father/leader has also died a long time ago.
And you...you were that son....
"The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire."
One thing I've wondered about the clerics. Was Preston the only cleric who could move that fast?
@@Imperialistic82 no
How to beat a Cleric: Don't aim, don't think just spray and pray like you're filming Predator.
Impossible to predict.
@@BlazingOwnager only unfortunate part is how impossibility fast moving, reacting, and firing action clerics have, by the time you spray your first bullets, which statistically at chest level, the biggest part of the body, the cleric has moved and shot at you before you reply, you need like 5 or more spray and prey shooters.
@@BlazingOwnager You ask him to give you his gun.
Stormtroopers: we are most useless guys in entire universe!
Equilibrium guards: HOLD MY HELMET...
this movie is deliciously stupid
This comment deserves way more credit lollll
@@Vkob Though the guards are pretty useless, this is by no means a stupid movie.
More like "Hold my sight."
They're just too slow to keep up. He's basically peak human almost borderline super human so his reflexes and skills are just too good.
The most ridiculous part of this whole fight is the two guards on the other side of the doors that get shot right at the end who are completely unaware of the 300 shots being fired before they get killed
I think it has an explication. Not all the guards have to go to a fight without leave their positions, that happens at the beginig, when the two guards are going to recieve Preston at the hall and all other guards are standing on the columnes with their HK G36. When the two men are killed, they are put on guard and start shooting Preston. The other two guards at the room where DuPont is waiting, had to protect him
Or how about how much time 12+ men with automatic weapons had to shoot Bale's character when he's standing in the middle of the room but couldn't get the job done.
They are aware. But like anyone else, all they can do is arrive and engage, idiot.
No they're freshly spawned in.
"Should we do something?" "No. We were told to stand here and make sure no one tries to get in. If they try to get in, we'll stop them." "But he's obviously planning to try to get in." "We can't be sure of that. It does seem the likely outcome, but our orders were quite specific." "So at what point do we stop him then? If he reaches for the door?" "Hmm.. i think we should do it if he gets more than a few feet away." "How many" and then they were shot.
I like the little detail at 0:56 ...He turns and the guy flinches, revealing he's afraid (hence a "Sense Offender"). Protagonist gives him a small, knowing nod, and spares him.
Never saw it like that, I always thought he just wasn't gonna cap an unarmed civilian and the nod was more of an acknowledgement that he's safe. Good eye dude!
great catch!
The impression I got was that the pills don't remove emotion so much as dial it down. What should be violent disgust became mild distaste, rage became irritation, and happiness becomes a dry satisfaction. Plenty of the characters show emotion, but it's rarely deep or meaningful; fear is fundamental enough that it shows through.
@@michaelroach2959 I'm pretty sure it removes all emotion. He shot his friend in cold blood and didn't flinch while he was medicated. He watched his wife burn with an absolute straight face.
Are you kidding!? Ive seen this movie a bunch of times and *NEVER* caught that. I always wondered why he spared him.
I love the polygraph operator's reaction when the needles stop, he knows what that means.
At this point, we all do. First time I saw this movie, I said the same thing as the polygraph operator but a couple of seconds faster.
@@kalyps30
Child: "Dad, what does it mean when the polygraph needles stop?"
Father: "It means E1EM1 is about to start playing."
@hardstyle905
He turns off emotion.
@hardstyle905I think it wasn't showing emotions but the fluctuations in his breathing and heart rate. More fluctuations means more emotions, and the needle stopped because he stopped his breathing and his heart for a second because he was so concentrated.
It's the decision that brings calm. He was stressed, conflicted, trying to decide. Then he makes a decision, and begins executing it. He has one path in front of him, and it is clear.
This movie is in the perfect spot between parody of Matrix and actually being a movie with a genuinely good storyline as well as excitingly choreographed fight scenes! If it was not for Matrix I think it would have reached much more fame. It is a very good action film as well as a good commentary on possible problematic society developments with surveillance and indoctrination that we can see many examples of in the world today. And on top of that the movie is able to not take it self to serious at the same time as it has a good drive all the way through. A true masterpiece that is unfortunately way to under appreciated.
Lol. If The Matrix didn’t exist, this movie wouldn’t either.
The reason this bombed while the Matrix didn't was due to the fact that all the magical crap generally stayed in a simulation only after the first film did it become this. The Matrix was sneaky, it started to suck in the second film. This sucked because they marketed terms like "gunkata". This is a good bad film to watch like the room or Tank Girl
The 13th Floor shakes it's tiny fist at you...
@@tsarbomba1 post apocalyptic, nihilistic, John Wick stabs you with a pencil.
Got a good blade runner identity style morality struggle it seems too
"No... not without incident."
Villains really gotta learn not to taunt the monsters they've created when victory seems within their grasp.
Zanyares ...and now, Mr. Bond, allow me to divulge my entire secret plan while this slow-moving deathtrap closes in for the kill...
Well.. they usually overconfident, peerpressured, sadistic, self absorbed narcissists. K
Yeah, but it's the tragic flaw that makes them supervillains in the first place. It's their love of power over others, and that love compels them to revel in it at every opportunity. When the hero's facing "certain" death, it's the closest thing to ecstasy that a supervillain ever feels. So they just can't help themselves.
If they were the sort of people who would just kill the hero, and move on to their harem, they would've never been able to rise to power. They'd still be home, trying to nail some th0t.
Villains have to learn to search people for firearms better too
Stupidity in inches to find its way in every way trust me
Painfully underrated action movie.
One of my favorite action movies
The spiritual successor of The Matrix.
Loved this movie. My friends were high fiving the shit out of each other while watching it in theatre
This actually started filming before the Matrix. It got caught up in production hell for a bit and ended up coming out afterward.
@@LordFhalkyn More like a cheap knockoff
Can we just dig the fact that this guys was SO ballsy that he threw his extra mags at the enemy before he attacked?
This movie has THE perfect amount of cheese to be an all time great undiscovered film.
Ballsy isn't the right word, the gist of "Gun Kata" is that he can predict how the battle will play out, and he knows he will need to reload at that exact spot
I remember the first time I saw this. It was on FX in the morning I was off from work sick. I was like what the HELL is this movie and why didn't I see it before. And yes it is cheesey in all the best ways
@@monotech20.14 h h oh y yu
@@monotech20.14 This is one of the best "so bad it's good" movies of all time.
@@bammam5988 Yeah, the core idea for combat in this movie is fantastic. Of course the choreography is brilliant, but what I really like is the idea of a martial art based on statistical predictions calculated via computer simulations of the best possible positioning to confront enemies in a gunfight.
Outstanding sequence! Dupont laid a plan for Preston but overlooked that he's a highly skilled killer. Loved when monitoring reads Preston's frantic feelings, then goes dead and he gets into action. Bale is an excellent actor 👏
The way the polygraph just stops, you realize Preston felt so much emotion all at once that he simply switched off without the drug, and because he was able to compartmentalize so easily, it meant he was dangerous because he couldn't be controlled anymore.
"don't worry, my restrictive and tinted motorcycle helmet will protect me!" *dies from bullet to the head*
Before John Wick, there was Equilibrium :)
Funny coincidence, both Preston's and Wick's first names are John.
Before equilibrium there was the matrix
And before that there was hard boiled
Listen history who the Preston's father could be.
Before Equilibrium,there was Chow Yun-fat in all those John Woo movies.
Before Equilibrium, there was Matrix
This is what happens when Batman uses guns.

Payton Wayland Then wait till you get a load of me.
This is fake! Handguns can not shoot through helmet visors
2:07 this guy was AFK.
lol... ok that made me chuckle.
Although the guards have the reaction time of a turnip.
yeah the movie struggles from stormtrooper syndrome but you can look past it for the fun choreographies and good soundtrack.
Bro he actually was from the otherside of door, he was not afk)
There was a shitstorm of gunfire on the other side of the door, but he remained standing with his back to it, allowing himself to be shot. If he wasn't afk, he was deaf.
i loled
Incredibly choreographed nonsense.
Highly entertaining. I straight up laughed when I saw the jump! 😅
Christian Bale will always be one those actors who will never go wrong in action. Factssss
Christian bale is misguided qnd turn to the dark side and no one seems to care. No wonder he played gorr look what happened to batman. Human does not care
It is stupid and cheesy but clever and awesome at the same time.
brostepisthebest not cheesey
+LoneMyth You're right. It's not just cheesy, it's dangerously cheesy.
I mean, it is obviously cheesy because it was a cheap movie, pretty low budget. They didnt pay Christian Bales last scenes.
LoneMyth it is literally swimming the seas of cheese
It's a "guilty pleasure" kind of movie.
I'm those gaurds when I play CS:GO.
DrShimato only people who watched alot of mmd videos growing up whould know what youtube video im thinking about.
Me too
Phim gi vay ad
Same :D
This is you 2:07
Just finished 1984. I needed this.
+Kblargh Seriously it's the action movie version of 1984 and thats fantastic.
+Cal6009 Eh, movie should have ended here. No need for the feelgood victory stuff
Except that's his point; 1984 ended realistically, i.e - the good-intentioned rebel gets eventually captured, tortured, and mindfucked back into obedience and the government wins. This film was much more like "Fahrenheit 451 meets Hollywood", in that the good guys stage an improbable and highly satisfying revenge ending against all odds.
***** 1984's reigime is imlied to be defeated eventually
The regime of 1984, hand picks new members, but not based on friends or family or politics.
Meaning it won't last very long.
I got to tell you guys, when thoes needles stood still and hes pulse whent to zero, the reaction of that guy and hes words " not without incident", all of this made this scene one of the most badass scene in movie history. Nice !
Can I just comment about how unbelievably cool the mechanical sleeve arm reloading thing is?
That is badass on a whole other level rarely seen in movies now a days.
Level of under-rated-ness: 9001
It's a wonder this isn't discussed more. Fantastic choreography and exciting editing. Flipping the rifle up towards the end wad a nice touch. Fascinating movie from Bale.
Check out the Machinist if you are a fan of Bale. Great performance and a very devoted effort to acting.
This movie had some of the most epic action sequences I have ever seen.
The gunplay was pretty badass, not matter how improbable it is. Same could be said for all the bullet dodging in The Matrix too, but nobody bitches about that compared to this film. People just like to nitpick the dumbest things in order to make themselves feel better I guess.
I can tell your comment was before John Wick.
@@alucard624 Matrix did a better job with matching the action scenes with the universe's rules. And at least they used cover.
@@jacobshirley3457 in gun kata they use cover to. The opponent that is on the other side. Its explained in the movie.
@@prydzen There's a difference between cover and "cover."
Equilibrium is one of the most underrated movie of all time.
Definitely!
Nah, it's on the bottom of the barrel along the hundreds of Matrix copycats exactly where it deserves to be.
@@rayres1074 Have to disagree on this one, Equilibrium has really nothing to do with The Matrix at all other than some very few surface level similarities and stands on it's own.
@@rayres1074 matrix is a dark city/blade rip-off lol
1:08 I was always so dissappointed these weren't grenades 🤣
In fact the fights could be made more realistic and creative by the use of explosive, stun, or smoke grenades
@@ДмитрийОсипов-м9д This movie isn't aiming for realism
0:53
Is perfect. A threat only works if there's some belief it can be made good on.
Preston is not unknown, in fact, his skills ARE his reputation.
By saying "I'm coming" he basically shows he dangerous he is. The phrase, in this context, is synonymous with pain; Preston's arrival facilitates all kinds of negative consequence
Well, all entire movie presents Preston as an unstoppable force of nature, so that's not even a threat - that's statement. There's no need to doubt if John could break all the defences. We already know: he can. _And he will._
lol one of the few movies where they actually reload an run out of clips.
+TripsOnMines Whats funny its they still cant count.. What 40 shot magazines?
*magazines
*magazines
But the pistol barrels never overheat despite firing at machine gun rates XD
And reload with STYLE
0:37 - That was shocking to say the least. The machine goes from wildly scribbling to dead still in an instant. "Oh shit" is right.
Yeah I never understood what that meant. Now I think it means he's going into battle mode
@@Svue071 My theory is that part of how Gun Kata works is by mental training to calm a person's mind so they can focus. Despite being incredibly angry, he is actually in control over his mind and can essentially become completely tranquil at the drop of a hat. It's like he's achieved some kind of...equilibrium between emotion and tranquility.
I think it senses emotion.
@@MatthewCampbell765: Actually, my take on it was that he was feeling so much at once that he went numb. At some point, your emotions just go, "F**k it! I can't take this! *bzzzt*" After all, the brain is a computer, too. If it receives too much input in one area, it will shut that area down to defend itself. Too much over a prolonged period of time is what burns out emotional centers in people with Asperger's and PTSD. They hit him with too much at once, so his mind said, "I'm out!"
Matthew Campbell brilliant analogy and I agree. He can turn it on and off at will now
I watched this movie after seeing it as a teen back then. I just loved it. There is something so beautiful about how the main protagonist is awakening step by step. Now I appreciate and love so many scenes in that movie. Really funny that it made such a difference for me to watch it as an adult.
I love how the guy at 2:07 is just standing there like nothing has been happening and gets shot
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Lmao
Play of the Game:
John Preston as Reaper.
Lol Overwatch :D
Mcree
ew.
1:19 this place's staffing costs must be expensive.
that random corridor is packed with guards
It was likely packed due to the arrival of what would be considered an outside visitor, one "The Father" knew was feeling and isn't likely always this packed.
It's fine, the HR cut all their health benefits and vacation time and no one feels the need to complain
not sure they have money, its a dystopian future.
Christian Bale is such a bad ass in this movie! Gotta' love double gun action, major points to the person who knows where the double gun action originated from.
+Crazy Onlinegamer
John Woo films like Hard Boiled & The Killer.
John Woo usually gets the credit, but Eastwood did it in "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and I'm pretty sure it dates even further back to old gangster & western films.
John Woo and Robert Rodriguez surely popolarized the modern double handed pistol shootout.
Jean Paul Belmondo did first before John Won't movie.
@@matthunter9562 where did belmondo do it? i've seen a couple of action/noirs with him but I can't remember double gun action
When John Preston says in reply "Not without incident" he is not talking about that present moment.
This scene needed a couple of flashback images of his partner, his wife, and the wife of his partner, all whom he had a key role in the deaths of. At this time, of his gaining mastery over his emotions, Preston relives the moments of murder in his memory and, taking into account that he had been used as a throw away puppet, becomes totally enraged.
"No. I have given you myself, but with ALL of the incident trailing behind me."
Kinda poetic.
8 year old me loved the hell outta this movie
28 year old me also loves the hell outta this move
That scene is like when you play a difficult Boss enemy video game, after saving and restoring the game like 61 times.
Perfect analogy
"my 13 year old nephew made a little homemade action movie!"
"oh that is so cute! like in the back yard?"
"no, i gave him a 20 million dollar budget and christian bale"
"a 20 mi... chr... wha?"
*this scene*
"Not without incident" 😎🎸🔥
You should give him money and Bale again because the first movie was great & heavily underrated.
lmfao perfect
I still love that quad "T" muzzle flash
I wonder if it’s suppose to be the cleric’s symbol
@@oldratwoman It's the symbol of Libria. Too bad it's just a special effect added in

Did you even watched the movie?
@@stevem2323 no I love Twilight.
@@lowerlowerhk Nice.
@@lowerlowerhk twilight had gun kata scenes man! have you seen the fight between bella and jacob LOL
00:40... it's at that moment they knew.... they're fucked
I didn't really get what that machine was for
It a polygraph for lie detection. The flatline could have meant he transcended into another form, maybe primarily for effective killing so that he can get the job done.
Polygraphs measure things like heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and even brainwaves. The flatlining of the polygraph implies that the highest practitioners of gun-kata will enter into a state of total calm and perhaps even stop their hearts when they do battle. Presumably, this would increase accuracy, focus, cognition, and control.
This is how you make a low-budget, cheesy, but still very distinctive and likeable B-movie. OK plot, perfect amount of coolness/cheesiness, great cast.
Dredd with Karl Urban is probably the epitome of this genre, but Equilibrium is also a gem.
Whomever was charged with searching Preston before the came into the leader's offices needs to be fired! 🤣
well, he was fired at...does that count?
That backflip was absolutely necessary!
The poor henchmen didn't stand a chance... Couldn't see shit wearing those dark ass helmets inside
lolllll, so true!
I such close quarters....the guards wouldn't normally shoot FIRST, unless they had a clear shot. For fear of hitting one of their own. Preston used this against them. He could shoot all he wanted...and he did. lol! Awesome action!
They did have a clear shot.
true. however i think two farthest away snipe him from two angles whilst he engaging closest guys. hes done.
They could have been ready the moment they saw his two magazines, instead of waiting for their guys to get killed.
John Wick + Patrick Bateman = This Guy as a whole in the entire movie
Yes that makes up John Preston (his character's name in the movie) he is so amazing
In my opinion this is the best choreographed gun fighting in any action movie. I love this story as well.
0:09 notice the cut
0:11 Christian Bale looks like he caught that too

I like the part right after this where he walks into the office and starts a monolog about Phil Collins.
He didn't kill the guy at 1:00 because he saw that he was afraid?
Correct
How I feel when playing Hotline Miami.
Nobody can be so good in that game! :v
Lemme fix that, how it feels to play as Mark/Son (Bloodline) in Hotline Miami 2
After everything these people did, this entire shoot-out was pure catharsis right up until the big bad got one in the heart. They did a pretty good job of making you despise the villains.
these bad guys must be stormtroopers cuz they cant hit shit
ha ha ha ha
+Amir Hazim Truth! :D
They were storm troopers but they got fired because of their bad aim
lollllll
You forget...he is moving in extreme speed...much faster that their reaction speed !! So cheesy...But I Love it !! It's so BadAss !!
That guy at the door 2:09 waiting to get shot...😅
Classic Bale!
Fun Fact: The zen-like white suit Bale wears in this scene was inspired by the suit Bruce Lee wore during the opening scenes of Fist of Fury.
1:16 I always thought it was interesting that he gave the guards time to arm themselves rather than just gunning them down unarmed.
Dunno if its an honor thing, or director just wanted a cool scene.
liptongtr maybe to make it fair or at least a challenge for John 😂
Because he cant kata if there's no guns.
it is an honour thing, he is a cleric. not a pointless murdering machine.
Gotta try to make it a fair fight.
One of my favourite movies
Christian Bale is great
He's so cool.
This movie was awesome. Most the film is really quiet, slow, and understated and that makes these elaborate gun kata sequences feel especially climactic. It's probably the most flattering imitation of Chow Yun-Fat movies ever made.
I think the moment he seals his emotions is the most badass thing in the movie, while the whole society need Prozium, he can just turn on and off.
The film is legendary. Even after almost 20 years, it looks amazing!
I’m actually confused as to why so many people consider equilibrium cheesy. In my opinion, regarding impossible setups and fights, this movie handled them the best and made u think it just might be possible for a highly trained person to make it out of these situations alive. And the gun-fu was incredible too.
The gun katas perfectly explain away the cheesy nature of this movie while also justifying Bale's plot armor. I love it
The plot and concept isn't cheesy at all, I think. The action scenes are odd sometimes. Like he waits for the guards to pick up their guns before starting because... he's an honorable samurai or something? He wasn't trained to be honorable, he was trained as a killing machine. Where would he have gotten that idea from in such a short time?
@@lordcirth fair point
Out of the three Dystopian future movie i watched in time of it's release this is my favourite.
It's so cooperative of the enemies to wait their turn to shoot at him instead of firing upon him while he's taking out their buddies.
When he runs and Steps on the Machine gun and grab it in his hands, i wonder How many takes that took?
Christian Bale really wanted his own Matrix
Wick: i could've done better
Bale: hold my beer bruh...
5 years later...
Bale: keep holding it!
0:35-2:10
*That moment you're the only person left on your entire team*
The best part of this movie is that in this scene he just decides that now is the time to win. so he does
Lol that guard just standing there at 2:06 "nope, not fighting him.."
Lol, that ending flip up with the rifle was honestly kind of cool
The flat line always gives me chills, haha. So fkn cool.
You can hear a feint "DIE DIE DIIEEEE!" in the background
feint; noun - a deceptive or pretended blow, thrust, or other movement, especially in boxing or fencing. feint; verb - make a deceptive or distracting movement, typically during a fight.
BZZZT - Wrong
What I think you were looking for was this...
faint; adjective - (of a sight, smell, or sound) barely perceptible.
And don't blame it as a typo. A and E aren't even next to each other.
I don't care what anyone says. This movie is better than The Matrix. SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Howso? John Wick is more realistic.
+shockofgoddess John Wick was very good I'm not denying that. This shootout's careful use of cuts and slow-mo and amazing choreography is what I was getting at. It's not realistic but it's not really trying to be.
Apocalypse Films LMAO movie is good but the the matrix is a masterpiece this movie doesn't come close to the matrix level of action and story
Leon S Kennedy The action sequences in the matrix always bored me, save for the chateau fight/car chase in Matrix Reloaded. The was to much of an emphasis on bullet time for me to get invested. I know it's an unpopular opinion but it's one I'll continue to defend.
Doctor: You only have three minutes to live.
Me: Pull up TH-cam, search “equilibrium gun fight”
Really real art of gun and fight scene no green screen it's just real good camera angle

and he survive bacause saying 'oh, shit!'
No he survived because he is a "sense offender". He can feel emotion. Because when Preston turned to him he jumped in fear. People on the prozium do not feel fear. So preston realized this and spared him.
Equilibrium is underrated and completely unmatched
YES !
He is a Masterpiece 😁
I am a police firearms instructor so having watched this I can confirm that it’s absolutely 100% accurate. We even use the sleeve reloaders in the field. 👍
This might be the greatest movie ever.

Christian Bale is all kinds of badass in this movie. I’m extremely tempted to see the whole movie.
The fighting in this movie is honestly really ridiculous, but it is ridiculous to the point where it becomes a form of artful ballet ans it is just so great!
