Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

[@josho7138]

1=10

[@francisreagan]

So John Wick is a remake of this. This looks much better!

[@cesaralejandro7725]

I give his movie an 11

[@Voodoomaria]

On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate it a -34 Probably the stupidest action movie of the decade.

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

Equilibrium was such an underrated film...and to think Bale almost quit acting entirely after it.

[@darthwiizius]

That almost happened to another great British actor, Tom Hardy almost quit after Star Trek: Nemesis.

[@obiioka4413]

wow...didn't know that!

[@MickayG]

If this would've came out before The Matrix it would probably have done a lot better... BUT, even though I think Equilibrium is awesome, it's also very flawed in a lot of the action which completely breaks any believability... just look at that first scene where he's just standing, they're blasting him from almost point blank and not hitting him, similar with that hallway scene. The story is good, strong cast, but the directing is lacking... also, it's too obvious the scenario writers and director looked a bit too much at The Matrix.

[@elykspuz6596]

This is a sleeper hit

[@lukefreeman828]

@@MickayG I mean that's literally explained at the start of the film.. gun-kata... he's assuming positions in which he's least likely to get shot. Yeah its kinda far-fetched, but its not like The Matrix is exactly hyper-realistic..

[@Juice-n6m]

Ultraviolet & Equilibrium are underrated and some epic fight scenes.

[@evo1ov3]

Absolutely

[@2eroumgme753]

Never seen Ultraviolet. It worth a watch with a gummie?

[@chiefinspectorshine]

I thought both films were pretty good given the budget Kurt was working with. The one thing missing in Ultraviolet was blood, IMO.

[@kissingersange1812]

​@@chiefinspectorshine That's a very hilarious point considering the plot is centered around vampirism. Though I want to say they had enough hints at blood that the vampirism aspect was satisfied. I know when she got stuck with needles on that chair my kid self was very unnerved.

[@chiefinspectorshine]

@@kissingersange1812 Well, the scenes with shooting and cutting were the ones I was thinking of. Overall, I liked the look of the movie though.

[@chthulu27]

A superhero so badass, he beats all his enemies with geometry. And statistical analysis. Essentially.

[@ericknopf2109]

It’s actually explained in the movie that those who invented the gun kata system analyzed (yes, analysis) every gun fight ever filmed and developed the movements so you can be completely surrounded and still not be touched.

[@chthulu27]

@ericknopf2109 , yup. "Through analysis of thousands of recorded gun fights, 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 defendant clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire." I actually memorized that speech years ago because I thought it was so cool.

[@weekdaycycling]

@@chthulu27 Gun Kata is most effective when facing opponents with shooting skills comparable to stormtroopers.

[@chthulu27]

@@weekdaycycling , that's true in real life, but it's still fun to imagine soldiers who are so autistic, they can literally win gun fights with math.

[@cykeok3525]

​@@chthulu27 Burst out laughing for real, the concept is so hilarious yet fucking awesome at the same time XD It's literally a story about an evil government who turns everyone into autists, then it backfires when the most autistic guy from the autism police gets mad, turns against them, and skreeeeees them to death in an beautiful orgy of of violence.

[@YodaMan-420]

they never learn do they? never mess with a man and his dog.

[@martinmtonga5698]

They just don't learn. Now Mr Wick had to stress the point further

[@schmerz0rn]

+ Infinite Ammo Glitch + Infinite Bullet Time + Infinite Reflex Capacity = Grammaton Cleric

[@shamim-dhulumakhapotherbake]

No. He had to reload. All the time. He did get tired. It was the gun Kata. He was a master. Used less energy than you or I.

[@ericknopf2109]

As was stated, he did reload, it was just done so quickly and smoothly he could keep going. No bullet time, no infinite reflex. He was a master of the system, so while THEY were reacting, he was attacking. When he was surrounded by 6 guys, by the time he attacked number 3 and number 6 recovered, he attacked number 6 again. As each one reacts, he attacks another, by the time reaction is done, he starts over again, constantly attacking. His training was such that in the time it would take to blink, he was already attacking you.

[@schmerz0rn]

@@ericknopf2109 My comment above should be a joke. But you are wrong with one point - the reflexes. He has to react to what his enemies are doing. What you mean is his plan and his prediction for the fight. He already wants to reload his guns. Thats why he threw away and positions 2 clips near the enemies. He IS prepared to react. Thats the difference. And as soon as one of his predictions fail he has a plan b to react to the situation. He threws opponents only to block attackers to force them to go into the direction he needs for his plan. But instead of describing this it is funnier to talk about a freakin godmode he can activate. And thats what it describes. He is not always in this mode. He is going into it.

[@schmerz0rn]

@@shamim-dhulumakhapotherbake That should be a joke - you don´t want to tell someone why he is able to react that fast, hormones, training etc.

[@lukeliu113]

​@@schmerz0rn If I remember the lore correctly, the movie explains that gun kata doesn't really rely on reflexes. Instead, it's based on a static model where the practitioner dodges in ways that are least likely to be hit and shoots in directions that are most likely to hit someone.

[@CarbonTech19]

Shortly after Batman Begins was released, a bunch us at work were talking about Bale and his career during break. My good buddy, Eddie, was big fan of his, but somehow he'd missed the then, 3 years previously released, Equilibrium. I had it on DVD and made his day, lol. He loved it so much, he actually went out and bought his own copy. He passed a few years afterwards, and now, everytime I see an Equilibrium reference, I can't help but think fondly back to the moment that Bale and Equilibrium managed to get Eddie, a great co-worker and friend, but a notorious penny-pincher, lol, to part with a few bucks. Thanks for the prompt.

[@Stuey1221]

God Speed Eddie!

[@MASOfficialChannel]

I feel you, in a different way but I feel you. Equilibrium was one of my mom’s favourite movies she saw in all her life, me and mum saw it on tv one year after the movie theater publishing and I was 15 years old she’s not used to watch action films, but she really liked so much the back ground about the protagonist discovering little by little the lost heart-warming emotions, especially when he found the secret room full of old fashioned items and playing a classical music vinyl record, and she loved a lot the dog-saving scene, loved how he coldly slaughter with no mercy his men and fucked up his Cleric position just to save this poor little doggy I like that movie too 😊 Actually my mum passed away last year, I Iearned to live with that but I know I’ll miss her a lot. And every time I watch Equilibrium I still remind the moments we use to watch it together, even with some of my cousins too, and enjoying this legendary fight scenes 🥲

[@CarbonTech19]

@@MASOfficialChannel Love that your mom went out of her comfort zone to share your appreciation of a kinetic actioner. Sorry for your loss. It's funny how we sometimes link significant events to unrelated stimuli. Both my parents have passed, my mom from old age, and my dad, 18 years before my mom, from a stroke. In my dad's case it's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels-the last flick we'd watched together and Gladiator-the first movie I saw in a theater, a month after his passing. Any reference always leads me back to day to the day he suddenly left us. My mom was suffering from dementia in her last few years and bedridden in her last six months, so other than the daily routines, there were no memorable shared experiences from that period to lock in on. That's not to say I don't think of her every day, just that it comes out of nowhere. I remember how it was shortly after they'd died, and know this, it gets better as time, the great healer, goes by. We never forget, but fond memories eventually replace rawer emotions.✌️

[@Some_Idiot_on_the_Internet]

"Ah shit shoot him shoot him shoot him!" That sounded like emotion to me.

[@RylanStorm]

It's one of the big flaws in the movie. The bad guys are frequently scared, the partner is hugely arrogant and finds this very funny. True lack of emotion just isn't there.

[@slosubies4845]

I saw another video about this. One has to make the assumption that the drug just eliminates the highs and lows of emotion, not completely eliminate it. You'd still fear for your life in the right situation, but emotion doesn't rule your day-to-day habits and decisions. And not everyone would be as seemingly emotionless as the Grammaton clerics, since they are highly trained and disciplined compared to everyone else. It's definitely a flawed movie, but still great.

[@jgro9]

say what you want, this movie was pretty awesome. yeah, nobody can predict bullet trajectory, but everything else was pretty good.

[@eliasnilsson6604]

Im sure the prediction is doable but not the practical use they have in the movie. Never underestimate a specially trained mind selected from countless special minds. A 1 in a billion genius trained soldier is theoretically possible but so low chance that its just a fantasy either way. But the movie is still great :)

[@shamim-dhulumakhapotherbake]

​​@@eliasnilsson6604If your model is big enough you can predict the probability wave and the moves required to stay out of it to minimize harm. He doesn't dodge bullets. He evades most likely target positions. It's like electron orbitals.

[@eliasnilsson6604]

@@shamim-dhulumakhapotherbake The problem from my perspective is more the bodies limits. Not just movement but having the eyesight to do the predictions. I can see it doable against say 2-3 opponents but not as exaggerated as it is in the movie. Imagine doing the practice to reach that level. The danger in it doesnt allow misstakes.

[@shamim-dhulumakhapotherbake]

@@eliasnilsson6604 I hear you and you raise a valid question. But do remember, your eyesight is 88ms behind reality. Prediction requires knowledge and practice and not sight. If you rely on sight alone, you will miss. Think about how you catch a ball. You do not look for where the ball will be - you keep your eye on the ball - why? Because you don't have enough practice so even 88ms delayed, you can adjust. Now think of a martial artist that must fight blindfolded. I think you get my point. I don't think he was looking. He was knowing and aware. :) And the practice to reach that level? He wasn't a Tetragrammaton Cleric (highest level possible) for nothing. At 8-12h/20 years - I think we can understand why he beat the other cleric so easily.

[@Tohrture]

While most is plot armor I do love the one realistic idea at the end. 2 people with sidearms in melee range only requires a few degrees of deflection to miss. While exaggerating the idea in the fight the premise is sound as there have been instances of volume shots within 3-6 ft and nobody is hit. There was an Leo on a balcony with a suspect. Between them 20+ shots fired and no one hit at all. So concept is sound.
