Give me your opinion on Equilibrium

I've never seen it, but two of my best friends have and think that, whle it's no work of art, it's a decent waste of time with some good action.

Let the blockbuster bashing begin.

It's totally worth a rental. The action scenes are great, especially considering the time and money is took to film them.

It's a word I learned in my 11th grade science class.

Dictionary.com's opinion is:

e·qui·lib·ri·um ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kw-lbr-m, kw-)
n. pl. e·qui·lib·ri·ums or e·qui·lib·ri·a (-r-)
1. A condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others, resulting in a stable, balanced, or unchanging system.
2. Mental or emotional balance; poise.
3. Physics. The state of a body or physical system at rest or in unaccelerated motion in which the resultant of all forces acting on it is zero and the sum of all torques about any axis is zero.
4. Chemistry. The state of a chemical reaction in which its forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates so that the concentration of the reactants and products does not change with time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Latin aequilbrium : aequi-, equi- + lbra, balance.]

equilibrium

\E`qui*lib"ri*um\, n.; pl. E. Equilibriums, L. Equilibria. [L. aequilibrium, fr. aequilibris in equilibrium, level; aequus equal + libra balance. See Equal, and Librate.] 1. Equality of weight or force; an equipoise or a state of rest produced by the mutual counteraction of two or more forces.

2. A level position; a just poise or balance in respect to an object, so that it remains firm; equipoise; as, to preserve the equilibrium of the body.

Health consists in the equilibrium between those two powers. --Arbuthnot.

3. A balancing of the mind between motives or reasons, with consequent indecision and doubt.

Equilibrium valve (Steam Engine), a balanced valve. See under Valve.

equilibrium

n 1: a stable situation in which forces cancel one another [ant: disequilibrium] 2: a chemical reaction and its reverse proceed at equal rates [syn: chemical equilibrium] 3: equality of distribution [syn: balance, equipoise, counterbalance] 4: a sensory system located in structures of the inner ear that registers the orientation of the head [syn: labyrinthine sense, vestibular sense, sense of balance, sense of equilibrium]
