Gattaca

Pros: Great story, good acting and cast

Cons: People expecting aliens and starfighters will be disappointed

The Bottom Line: Brings out a lot of possible reasons why we shouldn't do genetic engineering.

Review: Gattaca takes place in the not-so-distant future. As soon as babies are born, the doctors can run tests on them and know the probability of them developing certain diseases. 10 seconds after birth, they know when the baby is going to die. In ...

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

The Bottom Line: A movie everyone should own, or at least see once.

million dollars on this, marketing questions undoubtedly arose such as:...

Pros: Almost everything

Cons: It will not leave you smiling.

The Bottom Line: This movie is very serious, and is seriously good.

Cons: a little slow in some parts.

The Bottom Line: fagfasfasdfsa

Review: 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: 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..

Review: 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: Great acting. Reflection subject.

Cons: A little slow. Scary if you think of a future like that.

The Bottom Line: A movie that will bring you to reflect on our future.

Review: 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

Review: 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: Richly written and filmed

Cons: Perhaps a bit more backstory? Or maybe it's just me.

Review: "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: Amazing. It gives you a realistic perspective on life.

Cons: No cons. Watch the movie.

The Bottom Line: This movie was amazing. You don't have to be into the whole "sci-fi" scene to understand this movie. It's a great movie and a must see.

Review: “Jerome, Jerome the metronome.” As a child, Jerome Marrow dreamed of only traveling to Space and planned to carry out his dream. He had the perfect genetic material and was mentally and physically fit. The only problem was that Jerome is really ...

Pros: The sanctity of life is upheld--justice finally prevails.

Cons: He who gave away his dreams gives up rather than to keep helping the needy.

The Bottom Line: I think the movie is suitable for older children with the guidance from parents. The ending is disturbing though the plot is very uplifting.

Review: In this movie, it is clearly evident that genetic screening is not the absolute. As our hero fights against the bias and shame associated with the errant genetic screening, we are drawn to his warrior spirit. Instead of allowing the unfair social ...
