Review of Equals

Equals (2015)
1/10
Can't really summarize a movie where nothing happens.

Warning: Spoilers
So all I can do is describe what I saw. OK so people wear lots of white. Lots of walking. Scanning. Umm, they go to work. Then walk, more scanning, back home, eat food. Everything is white, oh some gray colors as well. They use technology as well and talk sometimes to each other.

Umm oh yes lots of showering! Can't get those white clothes/surroundings dirty now! Umm....then what?

Well OK let's talk about what this movie is supposed to be about. We are in the future, and humans had to get rid of emotions because....umm that was not really explained either. I guess it's a post apocalyptic world where they HAD to do this...AGAIN my OWN mind is creating MORE plot for this movie than the movie itself did LOL

So suddenly, randomly, out of no where with AGAIN no explanation people have emotions again....OK. ??? So wait, is this true or have people just been hiding emotions all along? What is even real? Well movie has no answers since it has no plot or really anything.

OK....really grasping at straws now to review this empty movie...umm. Oh yes let's talk about the acting. Nicholas Hoult is a fantastic actor as are most of the people in this 'film'. Trying to be all Vulcan, having emotions but not showing them. I think Kristen Stewart's agent thought she FINALLY found a movie where she can shine. Playing a character that has no emotions. Seeing as though she can express nothing at all other than b!tch face. But no Kstew just looks depressed and ugly. I just don't get how they took this beautiful girl and took away the only thing she has going for her at this point, her looks. Whereas Hoult is represented as the handsome guy he is. She looks like hell. I just don't get it, why did they go out of their way to make her look ugly? Goodness knows she can't act.

Umm so yeah apparently these two actors are supposed to fall in 'love' or 'lust' again the movie does not explain sh!t as there is no plot. All we see is talking/mumbling, walking, eating, showering, staring. As if you thought Twilight was a pointless movie! In this movie LESS happens! If you can believe it!

So they plan to runaway...to ...somewhere (once again no real plot or explanation) but wait they found a cure for 'emotions' can they overcome it? Umm, that is never explained either. This movie really takes the cake for never explaining things. Attention filmmakers if you want to make a futuristic movie/minimalism/clean lines/etc...you STILL have to EXPLAIN sh!t to us. You STILL have to have a PLOT. You still have to have DIALOGUE/EVENTS/SET UPS/CONCLUSIONS. Get it? This movie just runs and you are lost the whole time. It's like mystery movies, your characters should be in the dark, NOT your audience!

So if you like movies where nothing happens, the color white and gray, calm showering, and little dialogue then boy is this the movie for you!
