"Woah."

wow. i just watched this movie "equilibrium" on tv and it was goooooood.

...it was like gattaca on guns...

it brought me back to the day i watch the matrix for the very first time as a wide-eyed 16-year old:

"woah."

seriously dudes, if u haven't watched this or even heard about this movie (released in 2002) u should watch it.

the main protagonist is like 'the one' in the first matrix.. minus all the philosophical mumbo jumbo .. plus u don't have to wait until 5/6th into the movie to get a taste of his neo-like moves.

remember the good old days when we watched flicks like 'the big hit' (1998) or 'face-off' and we were like "wah lieauuuuuuuuuuwww, how the -- did he do that!??!?" ... or remember the silence as our eyes were glued to the projection screen just after neo and trinity demolished the office lift lobby?? .. this movie is like that.



















the coolest thing about 'equilibrium' is the gun-fight/fighting scenes... okay okay, so it screams of a matrix rip-off.. but u have to see this to appreciate it for urself...

in the movie, the main character is one of the elite force (known as the Clerics) who practice a form of martial arts called 'gun kata'.... a technique involving all the fighting moves u see in the matrix (sans bullet time) ... plus guns ... in close combat.

gun kata is described in the movie itself as such:

"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, 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% increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gun Katas an adversary not to be taken lightly."

drool.










aiyah... cannot describe la. go. watch.
