A futuristic love story set in a world where emotions have been eradicated. Written by Nathan Parker
I had the unfortunate opportunity of viewing 'Equals' at the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend--and boy was it a huge let down. At a quick glance the film and its premise seemed promising, a futuristic sci-fi love story undoubtedly drawing inspiration from dystopian classics such as 1984 and The Giver. And likely, this is what tricked hundreds of film enthusiasts (admittedly, myself included) into cramming into an auditorium on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. 101 minutes that no one will ever get back. The painfully slow story development coupled with terrible acting (Kristen Stewart is truly a disaster) killed all chances of 'Equals' becoming any semblance of a decent film. Incredibly melodramatic, boring, predictable, and just flat out bad. Save both your time and money, this one's not worth it.
