So lately I've been watching films at night (Netflix on my Vita, it is amazin') and I've got to see quite a few films I've wanted to see for quite some time, one of these films is Equilibrium. Now for those of you that don't know, Equilibrium is a sci-fi/action film set in a dystopian future where human emotions are made illegal, this is due to something about human emotions sparking World War III, then World War IV and so on... But the question is, how do you outlaw something like that? How do you take something that makes us who we are, defines what we do and has been the driving force behind all the terrible and also great things we as a species have done  and make it illegal and punishable by death? You force everyone to take medication that strips you of your emotions for a certain amount of time, set up an elite group of highly trained ass-kicking machines called Clerics, recruit Christian Bale and Sean Bean and unleash them on all those naughty sense offenders. Now, the plot of the film is really interesting. I was drawn to this film based on it and it had some raving reviews, so I thought why not. I fired up the film on Netflix and got comfortable. The opening scene was an action scene, and believe me it delivered. We had some rebel sense offenders holed up in a building, all lead by Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break. The police response were getting their asses handed to them when the clerics John Preston (Christian Bale) and Partridge (Sean Bean) arrived on the scene. Partridge seemed to be in his own little world so Preston took point and singlehandedly took out every rebel in a scene that would make The Matrix look realistic. So with every Rebel dead on the ground, the authorities went in and trashed the place looking for outlawed items which, in Equilibrium, aren't drugs or anti-aircraft type guns but actually pieces of art. Books, statues, music, anything that can trigger an emotional response is confiscated and burnt, such as the genuine Mona Lisa painting Preston found underneath the floorboards. Upon running a scan on it, he found it was the original painting and so responded by using a flamethrower on it. Leonardo is spinning in his grave so fast at this point, he's about to drill his way out and go on a murderous rampage, bringing his wrath and vengeance upon the philistines of the world as some superpowered zombie... Which is a fucking amazing idea and if there's any Hollywood agent/scout type peoples reading this, I take cheques.
