Review of Gattaca

Gattaca (1997)
6/10
Worth watching just for the dialogs!
5 September 2005
Watched this movie late on a Sunday night into Monday morning in spite of having to get to work early the same morning! But i dare say, that it was worth the late night.

The movie has as much to do with the basic principles of life today as with the futuristic aspect. The human spirit/mind remains the same all through.

Challenge the "rules", work hard, never give up and all the other so called "cliche's" find a place in this movie. But its not cloying and nauseating as other Hollywood productions.

Ethan Hawke lends the character a lot of humanness and Jude Law, as usual is always good with his English accent (which kind of works, for his character in the movie) I thought this might be a lot of futuristic hogwash mambo-jumbo but it is a plausible premise. The plot is thin but nevertheless, the underlying motifs makes one think and believe in oneself.

Watch it! (even the credits.. there's something in the end of it!)
