"Equilibrium" is Sci-Fi action movie that takes place in the near future, after the third World War where the feelings and artistic expressions are prohibited because they are considered to be the root for the beginning of every conflict. The citizens must take every day a drug called Prozium to suppress their emotions and whoever brakes that law must be executed. John Preston (Christian Bale - known from American Psycho and The Dark Knight) is an enforcement officer, thought the Gun Kata - a gun-fighting martial art disciplin. His job is to maintain the order in the city and to destroy every book, painting and anything that can lead to emotions. After accidentally breaking a dose, Preston begins to experience emotions which make him question his morality, actions and the system he is living in. Without the drugs he took he tries to help the resistance while trying not to be detected by the suspicious society in which he lives.
The first time I saw "Equilibrium" it reminded me a lot to "The Matrix" movies. Probably because of the Gun Fu in the movie and the costumes of the actors. Overall the movie is good and I give it 4 stars rating. However the movie received mixed reviews from the critics. Some of them said that the movie had borrowed a lot from some Sci-Fi classics like Fahrenheit 451 (great book by the way). However, I think the story is good and the movie makes a point.
