You admire the look and the performances, and some interesting ideas are presented, but everything feels muted and predictable and lacking in spark.

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

As stiff and rigid as two equals signs, "Equals" is a bland sci-fi romance that is as dull as its scrubbed-clean visual aesthetic.

Adam Graham, Detroit News
Rotten

The DVD box should warn prospective buyers that its contents could cause drowsiness.

Scott Marks, San Diego Reader
Rotten

Doremus and screenwriter Nathan Parker ... borrow from "Romeo and Juliet," "1984" and every sci-fi flick ever made about a society that suppresses feelings. The movie's futurism is nothing new.

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Rotten

The final resolution of the plot is actually rather intriguing, but the journey to it is so slow and predictable that most moviegoers will have long since lost interest.

Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic
