Equilibrium

[AlanPartridge]

A blatant rip-off of The Matrix?
A good time-passer while we wait for The Matrix Reloaded?
A splendid movie with great acting by Christian Bale?
A heap of steaming shite?
Better than American Psycho but worse than Reign of fire?

Mix the Matrix with 1984 and see what happens is my (confirmed) bigotted opinion, but what do you reckon?
Maybe just bad timing?

[thisiswhoweare]

no3 :D

[Skillian]

A combination of number 1 and number 3. ;)

But c'mon, is that last statement the wrong way round? :blink: It wasn't as good as American Psycho which was an excellent film, but much better than Reign of Fire which was absolutely terrible.

It wasn't as good as American Psycho which was an excellent film, but much better than Reign of Fire which was absolutely terrible.

LMAO
equilibrium was frickin horrible. i was laughing at that piece of shit movie
all the way through. "oh I'm just rearranging my desk" supposed to be
meaningful, but just utterly retarded.

and reign of fire OWNED.

[AlanPartridge]

OK but you have to admit that his accent was alright in Reign of Fire, innit?

[AlanPartridge]

Yeah, the rearranging desk bit was painful!!!

[amphoteric88]

none of the above
it's actually a rip off of the novel 1984 by george orwell
you might find it in booworld
i highly recommend this book if you liked the film (and maybe even if you didn't) :)

[Skillian]

I am confused, I didn't think there was any people who even liked Reign Of Fire remotely, let alone thought it "owned"! :P

But yeah, I admit that all the pseudo-intellectual stuff in Equilibrium was pretty lame, but it was cool for the gunplay, especially that bit at the end with the hand to hand combat while they were holding pistols.

AMPHOTERIC88:
That's just what I said, so you agree, innit.

yeah, but you never made it clear what 1984 was.
plus you should add it to the first list as another option

[AlanPartridge]

I mean the film 1984. With Richard Burton and John Hurt. I thought everyone would know! It is, after all a classic, but maybe more in GB than USA, I dunno. Check it out if you haven't seen it! It's worth it.

[amphoteric88]

i've never seen the film 1984
the book is great though, you should try to read it
i come from the uk (scotland to be precise), i assume you're from the uk too with that name?
i never really liked "i'm alan partridge" or any of the new stuff, i think "the office" was probably better

[Kabal]

Is there a way to set people on ignore in these forums?

amphoteric88: We're goin' off on a bit of a tangent here that everyone can read, but I think the office was absolutely brilliant "ipso facto" etc... still like alan though, but that ain't the point here. mail me or sumfink if you wanna talk, innit.

[silverccrow]

<_< YEAH

[wienerschnitzel]

Not bad but ive seen much better.
The only part I really liked was the hand to gun fight at the end and when he used the sword (except when he cut off the guys face).
The poses while shooting were just stupid.

[foot loose]

beware the Grammaton Cleric

the story line was poo BUT the action parts were good
and i know that every one who watched it played da action parts back over and over again
because they know it was good :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[thisiswhoweare]
