After the first half hour of "Equilibrium", you sense that there is nothing much to more to see - an acrobatic 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' type of combat in which the hero (Christian Bale) rushes into a dark room full of flying bullets and escapes unscathed, the ominous father figure that has given society freedom from war, and the compelling guise of people who no longer can feel. Throw in a small role for the damsel in distress (Emily Watson), an unconvincing antagonist (Taye Diggs), and a few reminders of the Western civilization and what is the sum of this film is hardly worth any of its parts. The irony of a film about people who are unable to feel is that it makes you hardly feel for any of it.
