Equilibrium (2002)
9/10
Use of classic film and science fiction themes in a new, not derivative, way
25 April 2003
Man, I spotted scenes from at least a dozen classic films in this, not to mention the melding of the themes from "Brave New World", "Metropolis", "Farenheit 451", and "1984" with truly amazing stunts pulled off incredibly well.

The fight scenes alone (if you're into that, only) are worth the price of admission. The more thoughtful viewer, however, will note the continued building of tension within the primary character to the point where he is forced to act. And watch the crowds! You'll be surprised upon a second viewing what was going on in the background.

I have recommended this movie to virtually anyone I've talked to since seeing it - incredible!
