At last, I saw it on DVD.

I just wanna say, "Woow! This is too cool!!! I liked it. Why didn't I see it in theater? How could I know!" Now I understood why everybody said "surprised". Opening gun fight scene was awesome. Christian Bale, his moves was sharp and fast. Terrific!

BTW, this movie reminded me of "Fahrenheit 451".

Based on this thread, I put "Equilibrium" on my Netflix queue and just finished watching it. I'm not as enamored of it as many of you are, but I did enjoy it a lot. I, too, thought it was head and shoulders above all the Matrixes (Matrices?). The gun play scenes were phenomenal. I love that stuff.

It carried more weight for me, cerebrally speaking, than Matrix. You can't stuff emotions without paying a heavy price, and you can't live without feeling them. I saw this movie as the end result of over-use of psychotropic medication, Prozac nation personified. But mother nature, with all her magnificent irregularities, will prevail.

I'm a big Christian Bale fan. I watched "Empire of the Sun" again not long ago and was blown away, yet again. I think it's Speilberg's best movie, along with "ET," IMHO.

I just took a look at "Batman Begins" on IMDB....Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldham and Rutger Hauer...OMG what a cast! Can't wait to see it. It will be very interesting to see what Christopher Nolan does with it. "Memento" is on my ever-expanding list of top 10 films, and I really enjoyed "Insomnia," too.

Did you see The Machinist? If you see it, you will be his fan more. Big Grin

And, don't forget Ken Watanabe. He is outstanding Japanese actor. Wink

No, Kenji, "The Machinist" was in theaters in NYC for about a minute and a half, and it disappeared. It's on my Netflix list, so I'll get to see it when it's released on DVD. I'm almost afraid to see him in it; he lost an enormous amount of weight for the film and is supposed to look really, really awful.
