Christian Bale is such a talented actor. Equilibrium shows a wide range of this talent for both psychological and physical acting.

This is a philosophical movie with a side arm of action.

Why I Love Equilibrium in 100 Words or Less 

Equilibrium

Amazon Price: $9.99 (as of 05/11/2008)

All things that stir emotions like literature, art, music, color are banned and those who are caught not taking their medication or collecting emotional paraphernalia pay for it with their lives. But there is an underground movement willing to risk it and John (Christian Bale) finds himself choosing sides after he breaks a vile of his daily dose of emotion suppressant and doesn't replace it. Beautifully shot action scenes as well as plausible dramatic scenes make this one of those repeat viewing movies and is a must see film for any futurists or Christian Bale fans.

Go ahead, disagree. I dare you. 

Equilibrium is the best movie ever.
