My sister's gonna get me in to see Bourne Supremacy, so I'm going to see it, even if it's dumb. The first movie really didn't have much to do with the book anyway.
Equilibrium's about a society where everyone's drugged to prevent emotions, and books/music/art are banned. One of the guys who hunts down people who violate those laws stops taking his medicines. Fairly standard but it was rather artistic and some of the scenes were quite surprising. More like the first Matrix movie than the sequels. One scene could have been ripped right out - but it was a fun watch.

It didn't :) It was still closer than this one, though. The action was still entertaining with some good spy-type stuff, but it didn't measure up to Ludlum's original in terms of the complexity of the plot and mystery.
Sounds like "Equilibrium" is sort of "Brave New World" goes "Matrix" :)
Now I'm starting to wonder if that other girl is really the one who's going to destroy the world and not Pacifica.
We really liked Equilibrium. Interesting idea, with some nice twists...characters did stuff you didn't expect.
Sean Bean reading poetry is rather nice, too.
