sell me :GATTICA

[RobertScorpio]

So I am flying through the scifi movies I can stream from Netflix and I keep stopping on Gattica, then move on. Is this movie worth watching? Sell me on...


GATTICA!!!

 

[Deckerd]

It's GATTACA

The movie is amazing. Nuff said. Go buy it

 

[Stevil2001]

One of the most intelligent and moving sf films out there. Brilliant performances from all involved (especially Jude Law) and a fantastic score. WATCH IT.

Every time I remember that I don't own this, I feel guilty.

 

[Professor Zoom]

Good movie. Well worth the time.

 

[RobertScorpio]

Well-made, thoughtful science fiction with a couple of great performances and an excellent score. But nobody's stopping you from renting it (or buying it for less than five bucks these days). And certainly nobody's career is hinging on its sale these days.

Never seen Gattica, but Gattaca is a great film

Yeah..I had just had some Captain Morgan before I typed that. And, well, I don't even remember typing it now...but now I do.

Gattaca is one of the best science fiction movies of the 90ies. It isn't exactly a "popcorn movie" though... it's a drama, and I mean that very positively.

 

[Hyperspace05]

Yes. It is most definitely worth watching.

 

[RobertScorpio]

Yes. It is most definitely worth watching.

14-0 is definately a real good sign...

Allow me to be the lone dissenter, then. I hated the film's style, and from that simply wasn't able to engage with the rest of it. The flat, retro feel of it annoyed me throughout. I was actually confused at first thinking that this was supposed to be alt.-future, and still don't understand how and why (in-universe) culture regressed in such a trite manner. If you want to evoke film noir, there are better ways of doing so than uncritically duplicating the era's fashions. And, probably because the look of it got on my nerves during the whole thing, I found the movie more generally long, preachy and uncompelling.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

^I'm kinda with him. I recognize the quality of the story, but the coldness of the production means I haven't ever really felt like watching it again. I own it, but every time I look at it, I think, "Nah, I'd rather watch something else." And it is kinda depressing to boot.

I loved Gattaca. For me, the production design was one of the best things about it. The sets are wonderfully stylised, and the costume design is really top notch (some of the best double-breasted suits in any modern movie, for instance).

Yeah! So there!

I must admit to liking it for the cars, especially the rather menacing black Rover P6s the police drove.

I agree with those that say it's kind of cold, but still worth watching -- rare to find serious sci-fi films.

I will keep the negative remarks in mind as well...will be interesting to see how it does with me.

Fantastic film. Definitely not a popcorn flick though.
