EQUILIBRIUM was very bad, the visual effects, the sets, the battle scenes, the costumes...the whole idea of emotions being forbidden and outlaw... what the hell? They took an old Ford Escort, coloured the headlights into white and they got a future car!? 😆
🤨
That, my dear, is a modified late 90's 32 V Cadillac El Dorado Northstar.. I thought it looked better than 1/2 of the stupid "Sci Fi" cars we see in "Minority Report" and what have you.
As for emotions being forbidden, it was all part of the social commentary. Did you not catch the Nazi regime allegory throughout the movie? Stuff like this is old hat to Sci Fi freaks.
"Equilibrium" is easily one of the better Sci Fi films of the past decade, as well as the most underappreciated, given its low budget and incredibly limited exposure. Not to mention insanely well choreographed, and costumed.
That's what I'm talking about - the car looks like a 80s car, not futuristic 4 sure.
As for the plot, the plot could have been told in a better way. And what they were doing, they were trying to copy matrix's effects with their budget, that's why the movie turned out to be ridiculously unreal.
Besides, how could Taye Diggs make jokes if he was forbidden to be emotional, and laughing is being emotional. According to the story they all had to be speaking like robots 😘 .
It sais "Forget the Matrix" on the DVD cover... PLEASE 😆 !!!
In short, the whole movie was a pathetic attempt to copy The Matrix 😉 !
