Gattaca (1997)


Director: Andrew Niccol

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Ernest Borgnine, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal, Alan Arkin, Jude Law, Tony Shalhoub, Blair Underwood

More Info: IMDB

Tagline: There Is No Gene For The Human Spirit.

Plot: A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.



My Rating: 8/10

Would I watch it again? Does it feel soothing to say, "Uma" slowly? Try it, "Uuuuuuummmaaaaa"

Very good sci-fi. Part THX 1138, part 1984, part Fahrenheit 451. If you like any of these films you are sure to like this one. It's cold and sterile. The future is not nice. It ain't pretty.

Pet peeve: Uma says some little line to Ethan and at the end of the film he throws it back to her. I can't remember exactly what she said but I had it when shit like that gets thrown into movies. It rarely works well. It's annoying. I should've taken notes.

Ernest Borgnine kicks ass. Everyone please support this self-proclaimed masturbating Hollywood legend.
