Equals (2016)

In a future society where emotions have been medically suppressed as unnecessary/unhelpful, a new ailment is starting to affect some of the population. Switched-on Syndrome (S.O.S.) sufferers are encouraged to see their doctors in order to manage this creeping-in of feelings. But everyone knows that it is a death sentence -- when the feelings can no longer be effectively suppressed, those with S.O.S. will be sent to a facility from which no one returns.

In this world, Nia (Kristen Stewart) is a "hider" -- someone who knows she's catching feelings, but has chosen to try to cope without self-reporting. Silas (Nicholas Hoult), on the other hand, is a new S.O.S. sufferer & ran to the doctor at the first sign. Eventually, they embark on a clandestine affair. When Nia is selected for insemination, the jig is up.

This movie is culled from so many other movies and stories: 1984, Gattaca, The Island, and even Romeo and Juliet. It's not bad by any means, but it is predictable and isn't the best of the bunch. It's also not the worst of the bunch -- it's basically fine.
