Add a CommentNot an action movie. But, a very thought provoking movie. Very applicable to our times and our way of thinking. Tremendous counter argument to the belief "it is in your genes" or not. Tremendous counter argument to natural ability vs. perseverance and will to achieve & overcome obstacles. Along with the stark contrast of "having been born with it all" meaning nothing. There is an interesting sub-plot with a jibe at the cops and detectives. Also, a bit of a love story, about truly loving someone for who they really are and what they do with themselves.
This wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it is far from being good. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
#imagineteencontest Gattaca. Directed by Andrew Niccol. Starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Gattaca is a sci fi (bio punk: science fiction about biotechnology) thriller. That all I'm going to tell you for it's better to find out. Gattaca is social science fiction showing us how people would live in a civilization different from our own and it shows that civilization fantastically. The thriller part of the movie is beautiful, it has been a long time since I was at the edge of my chair. Overall great.
I have many science fiction movies in my collection and this is one of the best. Even though it's not know for sound or visuals effects, this film is a must see on your HOMETHEATER. I really enjoyed the story in this movie and the hell one puts himself through to be, well, perfect. I have "The Superbit " version with dts sound and it's great. One of the things i love about this movie is. You don't need special audio or visual effects to keep interested. I give this movie 5 stars!!!!! For a great story, good acting, and characters that help tell this story, well. Hagen Daze vanilla swiss almond icecream and Pepperidge Farm's "Tahiti" cookies.
Average, not particularly thought-provoking. Acting was pretty subdued.
If humanity lasts long enough, and keeps going at it's current rate, this is one of the next logical steps. Well done.
Outstanding. I love speculative films where you end up with more questions than answers. When science defines descrimination is there anyway to stop or overcome it. Are we doomed in the future to a genetic underclass. How do you combat prejudice when it is a series of numbers on a DNA scan instead of skin color or accent. In the film it is combated by the human spirit so maybe there is hope for us all.
great movie
