I have been in multi-year relationships with women who weren't half as good looking as this film.
It is the total and convincing immersion in a future world that makes this one of the strongest science fiction films I've ever seen.
That is a bold statement I know, but for me it is a fact, it just took me a while to realise it. See, the first time I saw it I was distracted by the meandering third act in which the plot drudgingly treads towards its excpected resolution.
And while that problem still exists I was struck this time by two things. For a film that is almost 15 years old it still looks absolutely stunning and it does what any film in this genre should do. It takes away all suspension of disbelief by presenting…
They have all this futuristic technology but ID photos are low res pixelated pictures on blue screens.
sure the movie was good but right at the start someone tells ethan hawke that he has a beautiful dick and for some reason i found that so funny i’m sorry that’s all i could think about. gattaca???? more like gayttaca.
if anything is ever going to bring humanity together it's the collective agreement that gattaca (1997)'s main cast is Hot As Fuck so i say scientists get on it
I still like a lot about this but also Andrew Niccol is the primordial ooze from whence sprung Alex Garland. Not really meant as a compliment to either of them.
How had it taken me so long to get around to watching this? I love sci fi and 97 was when I was really getting into film. How its taken over 20 years to get around to watching it I will never know.
This is a great sci-fi drama that borrows heavily from the noir and thriller genres. Carefully written, this treads a delicate path as we journey with Vincent, determined to get to space despite his health. We have double identities, health problems, paranoia, delusion, love, drive, dream, passion and a murder thrown in to boot. How it all works I dont understand. All I know is that it does. The soundtrack is one of the more haunting soundtracks…
I love Gattaca more each time I see it. This is my third time through it and this time I realized it basically has the same strengths and weaknesses as Blade Runner, another sci-fi favorite of mine. The acting is wooden and the pacing is slow enough to put an insomniac to sleep. This was Andrew Niccol's first time directing, and while he still hasn't done much to prove himself as a director (In Time, The Host...) I think some of Gattaca's failures can be chalked up to inexperience. Personally I just don't care about them.
I'll be damned if this isn't high concept science fiction at its best. Every detail of the story is designed…
Film #73 of Project 90
”It's funny, you work so hard, you do everything you can to get away from a place, and when you finally get your chance to leave, you find a reason to stay.”
Andrew Niccol starts Gattaca by picturing a “not too distant future” where genetic engineering has changed everything, it has revolutionized the way people think and act and it has brought a new social order to the society, people are no longer divided to rich and poor or educated and uneducated, you are either a child of god or a child of science, genetic modification has become a routine part of the cycle of life and now everything works differently. That exceptionally alarming and…
we watched this in my bio class and i could not get over the fact that ethan hawke had far more chemistry with jude law than uma thurman WHOM HE WAS MARRIED TO
Being forced to watch this film multiple times from years 7-11 in school is probably what keeps me from enjoying this film now as much as it might deserve.
Added this to my list last minute and I am so happy I did.
This is really up my alley with the great actors, voice overs, and sci-fi vibes. The story is so simple yet intriguing.
Check this out if you've never seen it.
Un universo inteligentemente creado y de mucho interés para el espectador. Aunque no es del todo habitual en el género, que suele centrarse en alardear de VFX y avances tecnológicos, Gattaca sí tiene una historia interesante debajo de ese mundo futurista. Es cierto que está algo falta de ritmo y acción y que el guion es lento en ciertos puntos, pero en términos generales es muy entretenida.
Issa pretty good movie. Shame the film got soaked in someone's piss before it finished developing
