Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

riotgirl_2222 Sad to say this movie is the biggest disappointment. The selling clause seemed like it was going to be a good alternative sci-fi. Utter rubbish. Time I am never going to get back :(

Michael Ledo This is the latest in "Brave New World" inspired films. The scene is post "Great War" when 98% of the planet became uninhabitable. The world was divided into two. There was "The Peninsula" which we saw only in pictures. It was a world of regular people eking by. Our Brave New World society has developed without emotions and they are concerned with spending resources on space exploration rather than maybe help folks on the peninsula. A disease called Switched on Syndrome (SOS) happens when genes suddenly allow emotions. At this point you could write the script and perhaps do a better job.Kristen Stewart got selected to play a person that hides emotion in order to avoid the option of a "pain free death scenario." This was a boring film from start to finish. The characters had no character by design...and when they got SOS they strive not to show any character.Guide: No swearing or nudity. One "coupling" scene.

geokram101 Perhaps the most brilliant aspect of the film is how all of our understanding of emotions, how they work, what they do, the small interactions between them; everything is set aside. This creates a blank canvas on which director Drake Doremus paints the vivid hues we have become desensitised to. If you wish for a film that reignites your excitement for life, and it's chaotic harmony, Equals should do the trick.

MovieChopper11 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.
