Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector 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.
- GoofsAn "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.

"Equals" is very visually stunning. The sets are really beautifully minimialistic. The lighting is great as well, I love how the cold colour lighting complements the atmosphere of the film. The wardrobe is great as well, the white colour scheme really works, everyone looks so stylish and smart in the film. The whole atmosphere of the film is very well thought out and effectively presented to the viewers, immersing me into this strange futuristic world. The story is very engaging too. I just love "Equals". I am blown away by it, it is my clear favourite film in this genre.
