Female soldier in the future who is smoking hot is genetically altered/trained to be super strong/fast/hot is betrayed by those who made/employed her and made into a pariah has to essentially bring them down singlehandedly by killing a ridicuous amount of low-level thugs in an over-the-top yet incredibly sexy fashion all the while shooting out generic catch phrases and wit-less banter.

I said it before and I'll say it again. We did this before, it was called Aeon Flux. The actress was hotter and it still was not good at all.

Wow that felt really good, I should try it more often. :mrgreen:

Equilibrium is a pretty goddamn bad movie, can't believe my eyes when I read the rating on IMDB (which is the reason why I rented it out).

It was an action flick who needs a good story.

Its like saying Tom Yum Goong is bad just cause of the story isnt very good.

Sorry, the action in Equilibrium was pretty terrible and cheap, and major plot holes and the rest of the terrible plot hitting me hard on the head made me regret watching that crap. I'll have to give it 2/5, and it's because I find the concept of a future without literature and without any emotion-stimulus intriguing but handled poorly in this film. A very mediocre film.

How come Equilibrium comes up every once in a while in this thread?

If this keeps up, we're gonna make it a classic.

I liked Equilibrium.

But I am a sci-fi nerd.

I don´t really know what I thought about that movie really.
It ws ok, but the story was kinda thin.

Saw "The Descent" today, was ok halfway through but got to much action oriented in the end.

Plot Summary: Booting lives in a small and peaceful village. One day a sacred Buddha statuette called Ong Bak is stolen from the village by a immoral businessman who sells it for exorbitant profits. It soon becomes the task of a young man, Boonting (Phanom Yeeram), to track the thief down to Bangkok voluntarily and reclaim the religious treasure. Along the way, Boonting uses his astonishing athleticism and traditional Muay Thai skills to combat his adversaries.

Watched Born to fight: Pretty good fight sequences, nice action, lack of story somewhat, but what do u expect with a ballstothefloor action film. 7.5/10

Debiruman: 7.5/10 COULD have been much better IMHO. I am a fan of The Devil man saga, so I might be more generous than others.

Hold on, are we staying that Charlize Theron is hotter than Milla Jovovich? Ha, I think not. Have you ever seen Monster? (The American movie, no relation to the manga.) Ew *shivers*. Something you need to realize though, is that Mrs. Theron had very little training for that movie. Unlike Jovovich, who already had prior training I'm sure. Not to mention that the choreography in this movie is obviously better. I can tell that just from the previews. Pay attention to their difference in form while performing the maneuvers, surely there's a stunt double being used. Granted, I'm sure it won't be perfect, but I'm betting it'll be what Aeon Flux, should've been. ;)

I havn't seen Monster, but I've seen stills, and contrary to some people's belief, that is not just her without makeup or any beauty stuff one. From what I read she had to eat a ton of junk food and high calorie stuff for 3 or 4 months and still had certain prostetics and other things used on her face because she was still too hot to do the role as was.

That's the way I heard it too.
Anyhow, Charlize is hotter IMO, but I'll rather watch Ultraviolet.
