Equilibrium: Why I Say It Rocks

1. The Gun Katas. The Clerics are trained in the art of the Gun Katas so that they may able to predict the enemy's next move and thus effectively neutralize the threat before they can fire. The technique was developed by researching into numerous gun battles so that the Clerics can achieve maximum lethal potential and drastically reduce the chances of suffering wounds. It's all words here, so you should see it yourself to be amazed.

2. Christian Bale. He puts a solid performance as the heroic John Preston, especially when his character's still on Prozium. The changes you see as Preston begins to feel are done very well by the actor. But it's even cooler to see him blast the baddies with the Gun Katas.

3. Sean Bean. Getting to see him die so early in the movie is rather funny. Reminds you of poor ol' Boromir in LOTR.

4. Taye Diggs, a.k.a. Brandt, the calm and calculative new partner to Preston. He's all BAD.

5. The Tetragrammaton. They remind you of oppressive times back in the early 20th Century, days when war and mistrust were heavily abound. Also reminds you of the damned Aryan scum who ruined the lives of billions in WW2. Their police state regime and the need for conformity eerilyreminds you you're on some alien world. How can they NOT feel?

6. Prozium. Scary stuff.

7. The rantings on emotions. They do mean a lot when you listen closely.
