Equals (2015)
7/10
Watchable and quite moving.
29 November 2023
In a Dystopian future, where human emotions are chemically removed, Nia and Silas fall for one another, but their feelings for another are seen as an illness,

If you've ever watched BBC sci fi series Blake's 7, it reminded me of that first episode, a very sterile, blank world, where people exist, walk in unison and speak in quiet monotones.

Was this perhaps influenced by George Orwell? Surely a few shades of 1984 about it. A kind of sci fi love story.

It's better than I expected it to be, definitely an interesting story, with some well crafted characters, and a very believable world. It's the desperate battle the two leading characters face that makes the story so interesting.

Quite well paced, it flew by fairly rapidly, at no point was I bored.

Once again, it's a guy falling for Kristen Stewart, what an affect she does have on the man.

Stewart does a good job, I thought Nicholas Hoult was excellent.

7/10.
