Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart in Equals (2015)
Nia and Silas are two people who work together in a futuristic society known as The Collective, which has ended crime and violence by genetically eliminating all human emotions. Despite this, Nia and Silas can't help noticing a growing attraction between them, leading them to a forbidden relationship -- at first tentative, but then exploding into a passionate romance. As suspicion begins to mount among their superiors, the couple will be forced to choose between going back to the safety of the lives they have always known, or risk it all to try and pull off a daring escape.

    • Trivia
      Director Drake Doremus envisioned Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart as the leads, but only together and if either one of them were unable to do the film, neither would be in it.
    • Goofs
      An "interstellar" news report says a space probe is preparing to land on planet TK-14 which is 798 million miles from Earth, but that distance is not interstellar. It is roughly the distance from the Sun to Saturn.
    • Quotes

      Silas: [propped up on his arm in bed with Nia] I never could have imagined what love felt like. It's... strange... like a tornado going around and...

      Nia: Yeah

      [laughs shyly, then turns serious]

      Nia: That's why I was scared of it at first.

      Silas: [nods several times]

      Nia: It's about giving. Like, I want you to take everything. I don't even know what it is but I want you to take it from me.

      Silas: I just wanna-

      [amusedly]

      Silas: I wanna run.

      [Nia laughs, Silas smiles]

      Silas: I mean like you and I, both of us, just run...

      [closes his eyes]

      Silas: ... as fast as we can, outside, just take off.

      [opens his eyes]

      Silas: It's so weird; I'm like... I keep thinking about... Ever since we were kids, it's been drilled to us that our purpose is to explore the universe, you know? Outer space is where we'll find the answers to why we're here and where we come from. It's like everyone's... searching for these answers eight hundred million miles away and the truth is the answers are right in front of us.

      [looks into Nia's eyes intensely]

      Silas: I know why I'm here.

      Nia: Me too.

    Same (in)difference
    I think I have to watch Gattaca again. I remember having issues with that, but maybe the second time around and especially after watching this rather mediocre attempt/stab at a society that is not allowed to feel anything, I may look at it with a different perspective. Having said, it's not all bad here. It is by the numbers and it works for what it is I reckon, but that might not be enough for some.

    Having said that, the actors try their best to shine in this dystopian landscape which isn't that easy. Still predictable, even without some notions and inserts, this will not surprise too many viewers. It flows along nicely though and at least doesn't fail its goals
