Hmmm, cult classic? I'm game.

I saw this a couple years ago, and it was the movie that made me fall in love with the brilliance of Christian Bale, who is now my favorite actor. It absolutely blew me away with the fight scenes, probably the best of any kind I've seen to date, and definately way better than any it's financially superior counterpart, The Matrix had to offer. That would be the ONLY way in which the Matrix would be superior, In budget (since everyone insists on comparing them due to their mutual stylishness and their relatively close release dates. This movie just can't seem to get out of The Matrix's shadow for some people). A bunch of money still seems like it can't beat some good old fashion craetivity and hard work. I really need to own this movie.

On a side note....does anybody else get like REALLY weirded out when they hear Christian Bale speaking in his natural, british accent? I don't think I've ever seen a movie where he wasn't using an american one.

I remember it being a lot better than I expected. A few bits are quite touching.

The ending seems a bit clumsy though. It just turns into a quick succession of easy fights.

I wondered about that too. I mean, the Clerics are these really badass fighters, right? I can easily imagine a crowd overthrowing those "motorcycle helmet guards" but the Clerics play in a different league.

Well, that problem will solve itself within a day or two anyways. I mean, there's no more Prozium around, so it's basically a matter of time.

it sounds like its very simular to george lucas cult move thx 1138, wich also is in a near future were human feelings, love, hate, is not aloved.
were the people with power and money rules, the everyday human beeing is garbage waste.

havent seen the movie equilibrium if it is a good one im going to hunt it down, i love futuristic movies especially those from 1980s.
