Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie ever!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It was terrible. Boring. No plot. Waste of time. The music was off. So many people said it was great and that it was underrated. I wouldn't give it more than 2 stars. Ugh.

Boring. Bad acting. It had potential, they ruined it.

Yep, I did! It's just it was split in several other movies.Did you see "The Giver"? Then you saw 80% of "Equals". The rest is Equilibrium without fights, Aeon Flux, Divergent and any other recent dystopian and futuristic movie you saw in the last ten years. Same main plot: people who are prevent from birth to feel anything in order to keep them calm and productive. No love, no anger, no interaction of any kind between the members of this dystopian society except at work. Consequently, no joy, no sex, no violence, no anything. If you begin to feel, you are "ill" and gradually become a pariah. Eventually, you are eliminated.Life is the same as in The Giver, the scenography almost the same, the love story almost the same, with help from some "rebels", who will sacrifice themselves for him and her. And that's it... until the sequel, which probably will come, in already old fashioned Hollywood style.It seems like a movie made especially for Kristen Stewart. She takes his role seriously and gives some credibility to her character, Nia. The other leading character, Silas, is also played pretty convincing by Nicholas Hoult. The main problem is that they cannot convince us about almost anything because of the script, which brutally lacks of originality and substance. The entire movie is about waiting to happen something and when it finally happens, you knew already what is about and... finish!Too bad for wasting a talent like Guy Pearce for such a small and bland part.!!! Spoiler alert: The only scene with some emotional charge is the first "encounter" of Silas and Nia in the rest room. It's one of the most literally decent erotic scenes I've seen in years. For a moment, you feel like it's not about sex, it's just about the sensation of touching anybody else for the first time. It's an idea you can find in Isaac Asimov's excellent novel "The Naked Sun" and interestingly put in this movie. End of Spoiler.For that scene I'm rising my note, otherwise the movie it's quite poor in every aspect.

Equals is wonderful, a must see if you have any feelings at all. The movie is set in a futuristic, "utopian" world where emotion is taken away from humans at birth. Recently though, the SOS disease, which enables these emotions, has been striking and our two main protagonists are "suffering" from it which leads to a wonderful love story.The movie does a great job to create suspense. Without spoiling anything, the tension between our two main characters (played by Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult) leading up to their first contact is perfect and I mustn't say that it delivers great satisfaction when it happens. The two actors are extraordinary, fast paced shots are on point and the story is believable and engaging.Do watch it for an emotional trip.
