This children's twist is simply one of the best in the history of cinema!) This boy was so convincing that when I saw it for the first time, I burst into tears of happiness!!)
Great post. I saw Equillibrium a long time ago. You should react to Ultraviolet starring Milla Jovavich. It was also written and directed by Kurt Wimmer too.
@@mish375 you might be surprised just how intricate that process actually is! Coincidentally...I'm JUST now watching 'The Warriors' and tying them to...the first 2 'Crocodile Dundee' films. They use C-list actors in-particular, (along with uncredited performances) in all films to weave an even TIGHTER web over the years!
"Always practicing, Cleric. Maybe that's why you're the best." "Maybe I'm just better." There's been a critical reassessment of this movie of late and I couldn't disagree more. Dialogue like the example above, is why this movie is terrible. Sure it has action, but that doesn't make it compiling cinema. Fun Fact: The puppy used in the movie was a Bernese Mountain dog. The noises it makes (barks, whines, yelps etc) weren't made by the dog, but by an actor who was specialised in mimicking animals. Wi-Fi Stunts Fact: Despite popular belief, absolutely no wires were used in the film at all. All of the gravity-defying stunts were done through conventional means. For example, the backflip off of the motorcycle was done with a trampoline. Are We The Baddies Fact: John Preston kills 118 characters in this movie, which makes him responsible for exactly half of the total 236 deaths shown. As of 2009, he continues to hold the 3rd place record for most deaths in a movie caused by one character.
This was basically a rip off of the Matrix when it came out but its honestly better in certain ways!!!! I actually prefer it over that film after all these years , similar type of control over society , similar costume designs & similar type of action sequences thru out both made in the millennial 00's era of cinema!!!! This was also the first film i saw Bale in & it's definitely the role that got him his Batman role a few years later!!!!!
I think if this didn’t come out on the heals of the matrix or if the matrix never came out I think everyone would be talking about it in the same light. Great reaction! Your godless reaction was great as well, I just finished queen’s gambit again which was an other Scott Frank series on Netflix. Have you got around to the Fargo series? I’d love for you to see FXs LEGION. It’s a mind bender till the end and unlike any show out there, probably my favorite next to godless✌️

I always thought the gunplay was unique in this film, great to see something a bit different to the norm.
What you saw in that last sword fight is Master Samurai, that is said to kill with a single stroke of the blade.
The lady that got incinerated is the lead nuclear physicist from Chernobyl. Had no idea when i watched this years ago. She’s great.
How am I not seeing these when I initially watch??
@@reactwithmike Wait till you see her in Breaking the Waves, which is a movie you should definitely see.
20:50 I guess you could say "he lost his face"...
So awesome seeing someone reacting to this movie!! Not a perfect movie, but one of my favorite movies of all time! 🎇

Someone should request 'The Edge' from 1997. That is a fantastic film that no one else has even reacted to.
The TRUE Neo..!
This is quite the MIRRORFEST of 10 other films.
Technically every story is pulled from a combination of 8 base stories. It's how the story is told that determines whether it works or not.

@@mish375 When I first watched 'Equilibrium', all I saw was 'Dredd', 'V for Vendetta' and...'PRIEST'.
@@mish375 ...with splashes of Orwell and Huxley to boot.
@@mish375 OOH! Also Freejack!

What a laughably goofy movie. It has a cult following for some reason.
I thought the action was some of the best ive ever seen
