Everthing is logic. the rest is Magic.

I watched a movie called Equilibrium last night and thought I would put my two cents in.I remember reading a review on IMDB comparing it with The Matrix.Yes,there were certain similarities that one cannot help noticing,but don't expect the same storyline.I believe the Matrix series used a far more complicated and thus difficult script hence making it hard to understand and therefore love it even more.Equilibrium is set in the future;mankind has devised an ingenious way to avoid war.What is that prompts the very feeling to wage a war with a country?Feeling itself!The urge to destroy,the will to conquer,the greed to plunder-in short,emotion.So men decide that if emotions were to be suppressed(using a drug) all the problems of Pandora's box could be shut off.A group called The Tetragrammaton are appointed to weed out people who refuse to take the drug.John Preston(Christian Bale) who head a special sector of the Tetragrammaton called The Clerics finds himself giving into emotions and ultimately decides that the solution is not in repressing emotion,but rather in controlling them-for the ability to love and feel is indeed God's gift to mankind.
I'd personally give the film an 8 on a scale of ten.
