Summary: Stanley Kubrick? Puh-leeze!

Stanley Kubrick probably would not have been impressed with this safe, conventional, and oh-so-predictable collection of dystopic cliches. He would realize that there's not a fresh, original, or provocative moment in the entire movie.

That said, it must be pointed out that many of today's young filmgoers -- alas -- may not have any knowledge of works such as "Brave New World," "1984," "Brazil," or "Fahrenheit 451." To these movie-goers, "Equilibrium" might well look like something, you know, profound.

And it should also be pointed out that the ever-reliable Christian Bales finds a chance to get his shirt off for one of his trademark "beefcake" scenes, complete with sweat.
