In the 21st century, there was a massive world war. The Grammaton Clerics were created trained with martial art of gun kata to eliminate war by suppressing feelings. They are tasked to destroy art, literature, music and supporters of the old ways. John Preston (Christian Bale) and Errol Partridge (Sean Bean) destroy a stash of art and a band of rebels in the Nether region. They return to the city state Libria where citizens take daily injections of Prozium to suppress feelings. Vice-Counsel DuPont (Angus Macfadyen) is their superior. Preston is forced to kill Partridge finding him reading a book of poetry. Preston's wife had been executed for Sense Offence. He is given a new partner Brandt (Taye Diggs). He accidentally breaks his dose of Prozium. He arrests Mary O'Brien (Emily Watson) but he starts to regain his feelings. He destroys his Prozium allotment.
The ideas are worthy of the various young adult dystopian franchises that is prevalent today. They would have the lead be a young girl training to be a cleric. There are some fun concepts being thrown around. The design could do with more CG work. The action is Matrix inspired but at a lesser level. This feels like an interesting sci-fi idea but is not quite executed well enough.
