Brave New World and Logan's Run Meet Black Mirror

This movie gives Logan's Run vibes, mashed up with the book Brave New World, and then introduced to Black Mirror. I also feel a resemblance to the TV series Severance.Acting, sets, costumes, concept, and plot are all great. I like the characters and their development. Well executed. I'll be watching this again on my own another time.If you enjoy a Thought Experiment, this one's for you. It is Dystopian and has a hard to place historical time line. It feels like it might be a commentary on Capitalism as well as a social critique on drug usage to numb difficult Growing Pains and Adult Emotional Growth.

Bleak, bland, dreary, dull, yet self-satisfied low-budget Dystopian drama borefest

In low-budget, self-satisfied Dystopian drama "Turn Me On" Bel Powley & Nick Robinson (both rising stars btw) are paired in an experimental society where past-life memories & meaningful emotion are suppressed by a daily drug, resulting in a permanent 'pleasant contentedness' that's drama-free yet as blandly drab as the society's deadly dull surroundings - but then Powley stops taking the drug... Its theme isn't original, but unlike the likes of "Logan's Run" or "The Island" it sinks into the very bleak blandness it's intending to decry. Writer Angela Bourassa & director Michael Tyburski screwed the pooch on this borefest. "Turn Me On" it did not. A turd. Flush it.

Turned me off mostly

Under the control of a pill that eradicates human emotion, a young couple skip doses and discover new feelings, but realize that comes with emotional baggage to deal with.I found this film to be a bit like Lord of the Flies: a case could be made easily to prove it is utopian, as well as dystopian. I guess the idea is that utopia exists by ensuring 'vitamin' taking by everyone takes away all of the emotions that lead us to be 'not content', therefore making our lives great.But as Joy (Bel Powley) finds out, not taking the so called vitamin -in reality some kind of SSR drug- can actually lead to feelings and enjoyment and excitement and love, all the things that we enjoy about being human.So the conundrum is, take the pill and be forever content without ever really knowing or experiencing anything? Or don't take the pill and enjoy all that life has, but including the bad bits.Sadly it does not offer that much in terms of thought provocation and most of what it does offer has been done very ably many times in the past.It's a great part for Bel Powley, not so much for the rest of the cast. Production was pretty average as was directing, putting this firmly into B movie territory except for Powley's performance which is always A list.I gave it a 5 but it's not a film I'd ever bother watching again.
