Equilibrium

Not horror, so sue me.

I just saw it for the first time last night, and i cant help but feel like i was left out of some wonderful loop back in 2002.

It looked very much in some parts that the writer/director said "I want to make this better than the Matrix", and completely pulled it off.

Christian Bale is certainly a better actor that Keanu (dont get me wrong, i Like Keanu)

I absolutely loved the explanation for how he was able to shoot and dodge the way he did. very original. I also like that all it took was a dog to flip his "switch"

And the "Lobby" scene at the end was leaps and bounds above the lobby scene in the matrix. i never thought that one could be topped, but holy shit did it ever.
