		For example, in a sealed bottle half-full of water, the constancy of the water level is a result of molecules evaporating from the surface and condensing on to it at the same rate.
		Thus by a judicious exercise of tact and asperity we re-established the atmospheric equilibrium of the room long before I left them a little before midnight, now tenderly reconciled, to walk down to the harbour and hail the Tremolino by the usual soft whistle from the edge of the quay.
		Each molecule of the gutter bore away a molecule of heat radiating from Gringoire's loins, and the equilibrium between the temperature of his body and the temperature of the brook, began to be established in rough fashion.

		I thought this film was highly enjoyable and the fighting scenes were minted.
		The plot is a bit loose in places, but the film is superbly acted, and the fight sequences are something else.
		Hilariously awful from start to finish and concocted from an amalgam of at least half a dozen better films, this has to be seen to be believed.The plot is so full of holes it should be the focus of an enquiry on an episode of Star Trek.

	Film Freak Central does the TIFF - Capsule Reviews 2002
		The film introduces its three main characters in the same gently swooping style: the sickly scholar in the antebellum ruins of his family's home; the long-suffering wife reduced to duty and malaise; and the handsome doctor debarking at a South China train station.
		Still, as a student film, Grisebach's painful portrait of that confused liminal period between childhood and sexual maturity is often possessed of a carefully unobtrusive hand and a refreshing understatement.
		With images as sticky as those in any film this year, the under-bridges and sewers of Mexico City alive with the taint of ruined youth and humanity, Tort's first film is one of promise, it goes without saying, but also one of lasting importance and ineffable power.

		The symbolism of the flag becomes clear as the film progresses: America is a dying country as a result of the zombie menace, and the flag represents the meaninglessness and deadliness of patriotism.
		Early in the film, there is a lengthy scene in which Ben and Barbra don’t speak, but listen to the radio — a fairly fruitless activity adumbrating Romero’s concern in his later films with the banality of media culture (Blake, 2002: 157-61).
		Indeed there is in the film a sense of documentary-like verisimilitude, especially in the grainy photographic images of the zombie cull at the end of the film, which recall contemporary photographs of the carnage in Vietnam.

	DVD Review: Equilibrium (2002)
		Equilibrium is certainly the kind of movie that invites an ominous-toned narrator.
		Also bringing a heavyweight status to the little film is the renown Emily Watson (Punch Drunk Love, Red Dragon) who with the short time that she spends on screen, clearly shows she's a real actress in a pretty silly film.
		Equilibrium is the perfect action movie to watch with popcorn and beer.

	Equilibrium (2002) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
		The biggest mistake the film makes though is in the halting editing present in the first ten or fifteen minutes.
		Where the film is at its most successful is when the much discussed "theme" of the film is toned down in favor of the emotional development of the characters.
		The limited release for this film was probably a good idea from the Dimension folks, as releasing the movie into thousands of theaters probably wouldn't draw in anybody other than science fiction fans.

		The film's philosophical messages are in themselves not new at all, and director Kurt Wimmer might have kept his idea a little too long.
		I hesitate to reveal much more about the plot of "Equilibrium", jammed as it is with surprise and invention -- suffice to say, this is an intellectual rollercoaster ride, as cerebral as it is visceral; both a bleak glimpse into a possible future and a stirring tribute to the indomitable human spirit.
		Then as the films moves on he gradually starts changing his tone of voice, allowing the monotone to falter in key moments, until in the end he completely releases all of his emotions.

		Equilibrium is a surprisingly good film and sorely underrated.
		There are a few, well choreographed martial arts fight scenes but for the most part the film relies on a good story set in a sterile, featureless and soulless setting to set the atmosphere.
		This is a film that belongs in the collection of any fan of science fiction.

	Klaus BADELT: The Time Machine: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews June 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Unfortunately The Time Machine (2002) is like other recent science fiction remakes, Planet of the Apes (2001) and Rollerball (2002), a dumbed down flick aimed squarely as SFX and action mad 13 year old American boys.
		But then, given the nature of the film one would hardly expect anything else; Zimmer is of course Dreamworks composer-in-chief, and this is a second rank Dreamworks production, deemed not worthy of the master's touch.
		The film* was mostly directed, uncredited, by Gore Verbinski, responsible for Mouse Hunt (1997) and currently perpetrating a remake of the cult Japanese horror movie, Ringu (1998).

		As the film grinds towards the inevitable showdown between Preston and Dupont, Equilibrium degenerates into a pale imitation of The Matrix, minus that film's visual ingenuity and striking fight choreography.
		Christian Bale is one of the few child actors who's successfully made the leap to adult roles — he made his debut at age 12 in Steven Spielberg's overlooked gem Empire of the Sun (1987).
		Godard's Alphaville (1965) is a witty and disturbing blend of gangster and science fiction film elements that is widely considered one of the French director's more entertaining films.

		Equilibrium (2002)/#####/** In a future dystopian world, government forcibly drugs the population to keep it passive--until one of its own agents turns renegade and sets in motion a rebellion.
		Whatever "Equilibrium" lacks in originality, my guess is that most libertarians, especially libertarian sci-fi fans, would enjoy it.
		And particularly for those who like to see their libertarian message delivered with a hail of bullets and a high flying kick to the side of the head--this is certainly the film for you.

	Equilibrium
		Pulling scenes entire from Blade Runner, Citizen Kane, and The Matrix while pulling philosophies entire from--yes, I was surprised, too--Gymkata, Equilibrium is another Dimension genre film made for no money that stinks a lot like Gary Fleder's excrescent Impostor from earlier this year, though it somehow manages to be considerably funnier.
		So in the future it seems that emotion has been outlawed--a strange thing for though the characters in the film appear to experience jealousy, anger, pride, and sadness, the audience is imbued with a majestic feeling of sleepy unconcern.
		Rotting on the shelf for over a year, Equilibrium has the moxie to use a puppy to facilitate a key change, an evil Damien-kid as a central conflict, and a series of disturbingly fey faux-martial arts as its centrepiece action sequences.

	Equilibrium (2002)
		This film which quietly appeared and then slipped away late in 2002 with little marketing from Miramax is destined to be a sleeper hit that will be appreciated even more in the years to come.
		While the film simplifies the concept of people under strict control, Kurt Wimmer hits the right chord in stirring up a genuine air of paranoia as Preston slowly emerges from the control of the drugs.
		The film's final fight turns into a close quarter kung fu battle as each opponent attempts to out-maneuver the other and get a clean shot off with their sidearm.

	Movie Review \| Equilibrium (2002) Christian Bale, Taye Diggs
		In any case, "Equilibrium" stars Christian Bale ("Reign of Fire") as Preston, a member of an elite organization called the Clerics that are assigned to eradicate all evidence of "feeling" in the world.
		I would like to say that "Equilibrium" is a very excellent movie even though one can't seem to shake that strong been-there done-that vibe.
		Adding to the appeal of "Equilibrium" is its creation of a form of "gun kata", where the use of a gun becomes as dangerous a martial arts as the use of the hands and feet.

		Nuñez's sophomore film, A Flash of Green, was based on a novel by John D. MacDonald and, unlike his first film, featured a bigger budget and a name cast that included Ed Harris, Richard Jordan, and Blair Brown.

	Equilibrium - Movie Review
		The film borrows constantly from sci-fi classics of the past, but quite impressively fails to either build on or live up to any of them.
		Although similarities exist between this feature and other films such as Farenheit 451 and The Matrix, I felt the film did a good job of showing a dark, possible future devoid of human interactions and emotions.
		The fact that this state of being is brought on by the Governmental issuance of a Prozaic-like drug, which placates everyone, and keeps their emotions in check, smacks of present-day.

	Equilibrium (2002): Christian Bale, Emily Watson, Taye Diggs - PopMatters Film Review
		Such frenzied metaphors almost save Equilibrium from being this season's Impostor, that is, the latest undercooked Phillip K. Dick-based flick.
		Equilibrium recalls Blade Runner and Minority Report, of course, as well as Gattaca, THX-1138, The Matrix, and George Orwell.
		Though Equilibrium achieves some admirably campy excess in the fight scenes (the hyperkinetic image of Patrick Bateman channeling Neo is oddly irresistible), most of its deriving and homaging never extends beyond the obvious.

		A handful of academic disciplines are well suited to feature length films, and we regularly see movie adaptations of pivotal historical events and great works of literature, such as Elvis meets Nixon (1997) and Robinhood: Men in Tights (1993).
		Films that deal with religious themes are more abundant than philosophical ones, but many of these are not very thought provoking and often present stock Biblical stories along conventional theological lines.
		Below is a categorized list of noteworthy films that deal with philosophical and religious themes.
