Equilibrium

Posted by michael on from the balanced-review dept.

The_Hiro writes ""Farenheit 451 - meets - Brave New World - meets - Matrix" (minus the overdone wire work). Created on a limited budget, Equilibrium combines the best of sci-fi with the action genre. Unfortunately, the marketing droids at Dimension have neglected to promote the film (release date: Dec. 6th). Chud.com has a glowing review of the film and some pretty pictures. Check out the trailer also."

  1. The Giver by Stinson · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but the premise of the beginning of this movie seems quite like in the book, "The Giver" by Louis Lowry. In the book, everyone has no real emotion, and has to conform into their spots in society, all emotions are kept by The Giver, i'm not going to go farther into the book, for fear of spoiling, but there definitly seems to be some similarities. Definitly a recomended book to check out

    Annoying as hell isn't it. The following seems to work:

    Can I have my "no 5 funny posts" filter

    Er, yes?

    Preferences -> Reason Modifier -> Funny

    Set to -2 or so, and Funny mods will never get above +3.
