In the future, after the Third World War, the world is ruled by a totalitarian and fascist society with the leadership of 'The Father'. Arts, music, books, luxury and feelings are not acceptable, and persons uses a drug called 'Prozium' in a daily basis to repress their feelings and feel happy. The opponents to this new world are called offenders and they form the underground resistance to the system, who are destroyed by very-well trained and powerful agents called 'The Clericks'. John Preston is one of this agents, and his life changes when he misses his daily dose of 'Prozium'.
In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: books, art and music are strictly forbidden and feeling is a crime punishable by death. Cleric John Preston (Bale) is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. When he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it.
Equilibrium is one of those movies that is undeniably flawed; a film that replicates the storyline of the book 1984, a film that replicates the action scenes from The Matrix, a film that sometimes tries too hard to be dramatic and a film that commonly feels downright cheesy. But Equilibrium is also one of those movies that is undeniably entertaining; a film that holds a slick atmosphere, a film that holds characters developing throughout, a film that displays brilliantly exciting visuals and a film that proudly boasts a fitting soundtrack. Although the flaws were there, I found that the redeeming, quality values of this film stood out a lot more than the flaws of this film which were, although obvious, not too difficult to cope with if you don't pay too much attention to the flaws. Equilibrium is one of those movies where you have to switch off your cynical side (although that's the worst nightmare for us film critics!) and instead listen to your positive side in order to enjoy it, and if you listen to your positive side you will find that there is a lot of enjoyable moments in this film to appreciate. Although there are some dramatic moments that try too hard, there are also a lot of dramatic moments that actually work in this film which captivate your attention and toy around with your emotions. The dramatic moments that work in this movie aren't as good as the scenes you'll watch in Citizen Kane, Schindler's List or Taxi Driver but they are a good effort nonetheless if you take into account the work Kurt Wimmer put into this film. Along with the other redeeming values is a bit of a misunderstood quality to this film called editing: a nice flow is created in this film because of the editing. Overall I found this film to be entertaining and if you adjust your expectations to the right level I think you may even be enthralled.
My review is directed to those of you who've heard some of the buzz about this flick from its more rabid fanbase, or who've been intrigued by its Matrix-esquire visuals, and are considering a rental. Here's the deal: yes, the visuals, the pacing, the choreography, the theme, and at least two of the set-pieces are ripped directly from the original Matrix. And yes, the hero is a bargain-basement Keanu Reeves, and yes, that's as bad as it sounds.
And yes, it's got plot holes and inconsistencies a-plenty, some of them big enough to drive whole fleets of tanks through. The worst of these undercuts the entire premise of the movie: a society dependent on each and every citizen, every single day, voluntarily administering an emotion-controlling drug...in a universe where we can't even get people to cross with crosswalk light? Yeah, right.
HOWEVER This is still a worthwhile popcorn flick. The theme, treated with a *very* heavy hand here, is a worthy enough statement. The cast are generally pretty to look at (with the bizarre choice of primary villain, who's about as charismatic as cottage cheese). The action sequences are pretty good. And there are a few genuine moments that shine through - bits of self-sacrifice which don't ring quite so false as the rest of the hammy script.
My advice: treat it not as a realistic science-fiction story at all. Treat it as an allegory, like a Coleridge poem with fireworks. You'll enjoy it well enough then.
Not a picture that makes you think very much -- except to wonder why the studios keep making movies like this.
A simple explanation could be:
Preston was driven and watched from the very beginning by Dupont to stop the dose and start feeling so he can gain the trust of the resistance and lead to them as Dupont tells him at the end. With or without the gun swap, he would not have been arrested before delivering the resistance.
Another theory is:
When Brandt takes Preston before Dupont (after Preston is seen crying because he was unable to stop Mary's execution), it is revealed that Brandt's weapons, not Preston's, were the ones used to kill the sweeper team in the Nethers. When Brandt thinks about this, he realizes that Preston must have switched guns with him, and we flashback to the scene in the industrial section of the Nethers, where Brandt offers Preston his gun to kill the sense offenders lined up against the wall. Since this sequence occurs after Preston massacres the sweepers to save the dog, people assume this is a major plot hole, and it is, but it was not intended to be.
In the original script, the following is written: And he flashes back:
TO HIS CAR: The house in the zone burning in the background.
BRANDT: Who will be left to watch...
A beat. Then Preston hands Brandt his gun. It should be noted that excerpt has been taken from an early version of the script (the version in which Mary lives), but the idea is the same: the switch actually took place right before the first time Preston saves the dog from being killed. We actually see Preston hand a gun that was laying on the hood of the car to Brandt before the dog execution scene (although not Brandt handing a gun to Preston), which is never alluded to in the accusations scene.
Further to previous answers, there are scenes and shots missing from the final cut of Equilibrium that would have explained the "gun swap" clearly. Unfortunately, they were left out for any number of reasons such as noticeable camera shake, bad lighting/framing, lack of time/money etc. The "gun swap" plot point does actually work but now needs a little clarification. The tracking system used by Dupont's aid does not work by identifying a gun's specific location but by locating the specific gun that any Cleric is carrying at a given time. Within the the context of the film, the gun swap can be explained as follows:
1. Preston kills the sweeper team in the Nethers with his own gun.
2. Later, when Brandt asks Preston to kill the assembled line of sense offenders, Preston hesitates and Brandt offers him his own gun. Taking it, Preston, (sensing an opportunity) swaps it with his own gun, giving Brandt the gun he used to kill the sweeper team.
3. Later, when Brandt has brought Preston before Dupont, the gun that killed the sweepers is located on or about Brandt's person. Pulling the gun from his pocket and reading the serial code stamped on the bottom, Brandt realises that Preston has swapped the guns. Admitting this to Dupont, Preston interrupts by saying that the only reason Brandt has his gun is because Brandt took it from him when he arrested him. This alleviates Brandt's possession of Preston's gun by making it sound like it was Brandt who killed the sweeper team with his own gun. Unfortunately, Dupont never uses the tracking system to try and locate Brandt's gun, which is actually in Preston's possession and would therefore discredit Preston's explanation.
4. However, Dupont isn't so easily duped as he is shown in his private anteroom at the climax of the film with Brandt next to him, leaning on the desk. This implies that Dupont had allowed Brandt to explain himself and then used the tracking system to locate Brandt's gun on Preston or that it was all part of a master plan and he was just playing along with Preston. It is now up to the viewer to decide which piece of exposition they like the most.
5. Finally, all of this is somewhat moot, given that during the murder scene in the Nethers, Preston is using two guns to kill the guards. At no time do you see Preston handing more than one gun to Brandt. Preston hands Brandt a gun just before the sweeper team starts killing the dogs, and then he swaps a gun with him during the raid scene after the murders in the Nether have taken place. Assuming that the switch did take place between these two times, only one gun would have exchanged hands. When you factor this in, it becomes more than just a plot hole and branches into the realm of film goof. It shows that the regime is rotten to the core and all about power rather than preventing violent emotions, Dupont's office is filled with illicit art, decoration etc and he quotes poetry to Preston in their final confrontation. Dupont (and by implication Brandt and the inner circle) is a hypocrite who breaks the society's own rules by committing 'sense' crime, whilst executing others for doing the same. Preston may suspect this all along as he notes Dupont's anger in a society where it is forbidden and his sliding his hand across the table in much the same way as Preston enjoys the sensation of running his hand along the handrail at the train station. Finally, Dupont states to Preston, "I'm life, I live, I breathe...I feel!" a5c7b9f00b
