Ey peps. I've watched this yesterday, it's only 4.9/10 on IMDB with over 13k views, which I found kinda low because it's a way better movie than many others with this type of average story. The movie seems to have a high production value for some reason, it just feels of quality, I guess actors did a great job while keeping something simple entertaining and interesting enough.
It's a story where different opinions and thinking became dangerous. And the causes of it in this movie are books. Books said here to be the cause of insanity and conflict between opinions that would cause wars and it made one, a second civil war. Therefor all books, and other inspirations for mind to mingle (like music) must be sought and destroyed.
The movie's main focus is a squad of firefighters who literally use fire to fight this movement of rebels who are known as "eels". Eels try to preserve and hide books and other goods while copying them in the digital and then sending them out everywhere they can. If they get caught then they get their identities wiped with fingerprint burning from their finger tips to make them forever scarred.
This movie is quite a cliche and resembles a lot of control and blaming something else than the actions of the humans who take them, an external distraction. Also it shows that there should be one correct opinion instead of philosophizing and expressing something different. This movie reminds me of Equilibrium which is a 10/10 movie at least for me.
