MCT:May 16, 2008Yuck. Poorly executed rip off of 1984 only with a stupid gun dance that looks absolutely ridiculous. Up there with Boondock Saints for movies everyone likes despite the fact that they suck.

MCT:May 14, 2008Th fictional martial art "Gun Kata" was the only admirable part of this sci-fi action movie starring Christian Bale.

Gun Karta... what can I say. Was the first time I saw Christian Bale who wasn't a big actor at the time and thought he would be going places. If you liked this, you have to see "Ultra Violet"

MCT:May 11, 2008A flawed but fun little sci-fi action movie. The plot heavily rips off Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984, and probably a few other books and movies. The filmmaking is nothing special and the script has plenty of problems, so there's a fair amount of head-shaking ridiculousness going on. What ends up being the film's saving grace are the bad-ass action sequences. It's mostly the old "good guy single-handedly takes out a dozen guys with machine guns" (they created a system of gunfighting martial arts for the movie to make it more feasible, I guess). But the battles are pretty flashy and fun to watch. And despite all of the inconsistency and plagiarism, I still liked the story. I guess I'm a sucker for stories about the importance of what makes life beautiful and worthwhile. However, it's a little bothersome that the movie presents this humanistic theme and then simultaneously suggests that violence solves everything...

Once again, another mediocre film that stars Christian Bale (sigh). This movie had a good idea, and could have been much better - but the production of it is pretty crappy. Nonetheless, I LOVE IT! It is one of my favourite films.

my favorite part about this movie is that there is a legitimate reason why the main character is so good at fighting. years of training and a complete suppression of emotion is a lot more believable than the matrix, where the main character has never fought before in his life, but is able to surpass those with years of training simply because he is "the one".

(2002 Director: Kurt Wiimmer)
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition....famous Monty Python line...applies here.....At the risk of being eutahnized for expressing my feelings, I am writing my review of this jarring, unsettling passion play of what life after world war might be like..unlike life at all....everyone drugged on the Prozac equivalent of the time....
Flixster - Share MoviesExcellent for its moving quality to look into the soul of man reunited with his feelings....Eerily reminiscent of the means used by the 3rd Reich. MUST SEE Christian Bale and Sean Bean are superb! HOW did I MISS THIS FILM in 2002?? Had not been introduced to Angus McFadden before this role..

The fact that they created a fighting styles with guns is an incredible add on to fantasy/action sort of stuff, and is the sort of thing that should be used in future action movies. the action and suspense and editing they use in this movie is just incredible, and is far superior to most movies. the story is interisting, and it compells you more to like the charecter i'd say. And to retard over there saying its all been done, a gun kata fighting style definetly has not been done, alot of the sort of action they did in that had not been done, and thats saying something, since almost every possible plot line and plot twist and action sequence has already been done. its about how you do plot lines and plot twists and how you portray the charecters and action, not if some part of it has been done in some other movie.

This is a terribly overrated film. It brings absolutely NOTHING new to the table. Flashy martial arts performed by people in Black leather? Done already (The Matrix, among others). Secret Police confiscating and destroying books and what not? Done (Farenheit 451). A dystopian state where the tyrannical government watches your every move? Done (1984).
I feel like the only reason anyone would like this movie is that they are extremely uncultured. Once you've read some books, and seen some GOOD, SIGNIFICANT movies, there's no reason to ever see this garbage.
And Christian Bale is trash, except in American Psycho.posted 357 days ago -
