Equilibrium Movie Review 2002

It's the near future, in which society self-administers Prozium daily to thwart all emotions. The emotion cops, Grammaton Cleric, arrest sense offenders using the time-tested method of massive gun-kata battles. Agent John Preston's (Bale) position is compromised when he's attracted to Mary (Watson), a woman working with a resistance group. Poor attempt at sci-fi drama raises the question "Would the future suck less if we stopped making lousy movies about it in the present?"
