    I’ve never met a person who I know has seen it but doesn’t like Equilibrium.

    …And it’s at a 7.3 on IMDb. That’s a pretty good rating.

      Huh that’s interesting. I kinda remember it not being that well received at the time. It did get a cult following over the years so maybe the IMDb rating has gone up since then?

        It flopped at the box and was regarded as a ripoff of the matrix’s aesthetics by critics. But it was well received by home audiences. I remember it fondly as a quick to syndication movie. It definitely has some lows in quality at points and the plot could’ve been stronger. But its highs were very solid.

          Would you say that overall, it managed to achieve … Equilibrium?

        It was widely compared to the matrix which I did, but watching later it is a great movie in its own right
