With faint echoes of George Lucas’ THX-1138 and Andrew Nicol’s Gattaca, this unlikely tale of tortured romance is set in a seemingly utopian future where genetic manipulation has eradicated all human emotion. When Silas (Nicholas Hoult) and Nia (Kristen Stewart) start to actually feel things – including a burgeoning love for each other – it puts them both at enormous risk. As involving as it is thought provoking, Equals is beautifully packaged big-statement sci-fi.
