If you took Logan's Run, THX-1138, 1984 and Twilight and threw them in a blender, the result would probably look something like Equals, a vague mishmash of various sci-fi works -- albeit with a few interesting ideas of its own.
Erring on the side of contemplation, the film explores a future world where human emotions are considered a disease: Switched-On Syndrome (or "SOS"). Specifically, it follows illustrator Silas (Nicholas Hoult), who suddenly finds himself drawn to his co-worker Nia (Kristen Stewart), who's secretly harboring feelings herself. Soon, the two begin a secret romance that could get them both executed.
While the story (scripted by Moon's Nathan Parker) presents some clever twists and turns on the concept of an unfeeling world, its "forbidden love" element ultimately makes it feel more "Stephenie Meyer" than "George Orwell." Indeed, there's a bit of YA soapiness involved, as Silas and Nia try to contain their brimming sexual attraction to each other.
