Sci-fi rehash, which is more interested in video-game-style violence and a high body count than exploring cool story possibilities or preventing plot inconsistencies.

Top CriticNaggingly inconsistent and oppressively dumb.

Cold, Sterile And Lacking Any Color Or Warmth.

The premise is overshadowed by the uberviolence of the Clericks as this becomes just another kung-fu sci-fi movie with silly action sequences.

The self-serious Equilibrium makes its point too well; a movie, like life, isn't much fun without the highs and lows.
