the only reason why this movie was a box office disaster was beacause it was exposing the truth about the elite. This is one of their future plans of total control. If you haven't seen the movie 1984
I watched the movie like 3 times, and this ending and videos of the fight scenes like 100 times now, because this movie rocks. And I always thought exactly the same. But now I got it: These are the two guards standing on the OTHER side of the door, and he shoots them through the door. Its not a mistake or something. When Prston enters the room where Brandt and Dupont are waiting, there are 4 guards laying on the ground. Watch it again and you will notice it :)
Wow. The arrogant, self-absorbed bad guys. The good guy saying "enough" and owning their asses. This was like a mini version of the Mavericks/Heat matchup.
Honestly, ever since Preston changed sides, the IQ of the black bucket heads dropped by 50%...
They easily killed the rebels in the first half of the film, than they fall without putting up a real fight. This contrast is the only thing I don't like in this, otherwise, magnificent film.
@pampamproductions he was trained to fight without emotion and he was going into badass destroy everything mode. the machine was hooked up to detect emotion.
@RainbowWWwarrior There's a lot of Huxley in that movie. E. g. this drug they take everyday. Doesn't it remind you of soma? However, the climate of both works is totally different. Huxley's novel isn't that serious (the real idea is on a deeper level), but has a sad ending, unlike this movie. Maybe a comparison to "Nineteen Eighty-Four" would be more accurate?
@zielonyuszatek Yes you're right..but the soma doesn't inhibit the emotion, it's the conditioning which doesn't appear in equilibrium, i mean the hypnopaedia ... i think that 1984 is more realistic than equilibrium and brave a new world, yes that true, those two novels are often compared...sorry for my english ^^
Realistically, I don't get why anyone would involve in hand-to-hand gunfights when he could just physically step back and shoot from a short distance away.
Hand-to-hand gunfights, however, do make great films.
After that close-range gun duel Preston wouldn't be able to hear a fucking thing for weeks. His ears would be bleeding like a fucking motherfucker too. Fuck.
The best thing about Equilibrium finale was the final confrontation between Preston and Brandt. After the tension that was build between those two characters throughout the whole movie, after the training scene, we all expected epic and evenly-matched duel. Yet, the only thing we received was a few strikes :)
That was so non-cliche, and anti-climatic, that it immediatly become one of my favourite battle scenes in cinema history:)
@NeveranticStory yeah i love that because in the movie they talk about the most efficient combat styles and such, so no fights really drag out due to his insane skills.
Look at the end, the opening into the wall has the shape of a T , it refers to the novel of Aldous Huxley "le meilleur des monde" in french, sorry for my english.
50 people yes but it seems people keep forgetting that at exactly 00:30:08 in the movie..fathers voice DuPont explains how the cleric manages to avoid the oncoming gunfire.
@wissper198 , inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
@wissper198 DuPont: The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone,
@Machinegunkelly6000 oh lol i was quoting the movie..its what Vice-Counsel DuPont says when preston is over looking the recruits studying the gun katas...
I love the stupid grin on Taye Diggs face when "Father" makes the joke. He's thinking to himself "Oh snap!, Father cracked a Joke!" On a more serious note, notice how throughout the movie "Father" was emotional in many scenes, and look at this office. How he has lavish pillars, and curtains and art. Kind of hypocritical eh? :)
I've always wondered why he "stops feeling" before he cleans the room... is it something grammatonclerics do? because I mean he feels otherwise.. so why stop then? maybe it's just for effects xP
@dulf87 It was measuring emotional activity in the brain but as you could see the increase he got to the point where he had so much anger he doesnt care anymore and means hes just going to senselessly kill everyone :) , is awsome. And as many have said its completely realistic, as you saw those guns were on auto and they fire more like uzi's so he was sharing his bullets equally so that each guard found it impossible to hit him as they were being shot at constantly :), besides its a movie :P
@jcgamer107 Nice idea. The whole statistic aspect of "gun kata" in "Equilibrium" is the only attempt to explain the "storm trooper effect" in the history of action movies.
but how does it end? ive nvr seen this but im doing my review on it for homework i have no time to watch it. Preston realized the beauty of feeling emotion and realizes he's been workin for the government the whole time! what happens later on tho?
Thank you for posting the ending to the movie!!! Time/Warner mis-timed the ending and cut off the last 8 minutes of the film, right as he got to "Father's" chamber...
Called my son and Cox had done the same thing!! You saved my evening!
