Pros: This is intelligent sci-fi that aims high and delivers. Cons: Not exactly action-packed, this film may bore those who do not buy into the concept.
In the not-too-distant future, fate has been measured to a science. Technology has advanced to the point where parents can pay to manipulate their unborn children's genes and define their precise potential. Do you want a boy? Done. Do you want him to...
Pros: Breakthrough performance by Jude Law, Will stick with you for a long time Cons: One to many Ethan Hawke butt shots, Can be a bit slow at times
I'm sure after first-screening Gattaca the Studio execs at Columbia Pictures sat rather bewildered in their seats. After a few moments of shock and disbelief in spending 38
million dollars on this, marketing questions undoubtedly arose such as:...
Pros: Almost everything Cons: It will not leave you smiling.
Preface: Science fiction movies have had a colorful and varied history, with many early entries being farcical, funny, or just cheap and silly. Lately, they have featured amazing action and special effects, mainly due to the development of ...
Pros: a great movie Cons: a little slow in some parts.
Well I bought Gattaca on DVD last week when I found it on the cheapo DVD rack at my Wal-Mart one of my favorite movies I decided to pick it up. It was only about 10 dollars so it wasn’t a bad purchase at all. The movie The movie opens up interesting ...
Pros: Cast and plot. Cons: A little far fetched as regards the security concept.
This is a futuristic movie where men are discriminated according to their genes. This movie is dramatic and full of suspense and keeps you glued to the screen, You would never know what happens next. And the plot is pretty interesting.
...
Pros: acting, suspenseful story, setting Cons: slow at times
The future is something often speculated on in films. Very rarely is it shown optimistically. Instead, it seems to be something we should continue to fear. Usually these are cautionary tales, and Gattaca is no different. Like many ...
Pros: It is surely one of the best pieces that the movie industry produced as a cerebral critique over our modern, 20th century ending, society. Cons: I can't see one. Maybe if someone doesn't want to reflect on social problems and cultural prejudices, that one wouldn't also like this movie..
Imagine a world in which every gene you have has to be carefully planned – otherwise you will be considered a castaway, someone who would have only a marginal place in society.
If you were someone born from the love of your mother and father...
Pros: stylish, not "killed" by special effects Cons: little action, sterile, predictable, plodding
Have you ever picked up a book late at night and, after reading a few pages, you realize that you don't know or remember what it was that you just read? You read the words, you sometimes re-read entire paragraphs, but very little registers in your...
Gattaca was a science fiction movie that seemed, from the ads, to be only mildly interesting. From word of mouth it sounded not-so-great. But I eventually got around to watching it anyway.
Pros: Great acting. Reflection subject. Cons: A little slow. Scary if you think of a future like that.
If ever the world would come to this.... I'd be very sad. I already have some concerns about playing with genetics, but this movie brought them all back together at once.
Background
The story is about an average guy that does not...
Pros: everything Cons: some idiot will probably want to try this in real life
Vincent (Ethan Hawke) was born by natural birth, he didn't get any of the perks that genetically altered children get. He was thought of as a waste of space and chronically ill. He gets a younger brother Anton, who his parents seem to favor. Vincent...
Pros: great story (most of it) Cons: cheesy subplot, Alan Arkin
The great thing about "Gattaca" is that, at heart, it truly is a classic "Science Fiction" story. We’re shot into the not-so-distant future, where genealogy is the name of the game. Gone are the days of "God’s children"...
Pros: Richly written and filmed Cons: Perhaps a bit more backstory? Or maybe it's just me.
"Gattaca" is a startlingly plausible look at a new form of de facto segregation: Genoism. Foetuses are genetically engineered to perfection ("Better than you could do on your own" a doctor tells an expectant mother in one of the...
Pros: Good acting Cons: You need A psychiatrist to figure some of it out
I guess since Gene Rodenberry died, science fiction writer's have decided nothing good is in mankind's future. In this movie, we see a world of discrimination not too far from our own. The only difference is the form it takes.
