Movie Reviews of Gattaca (Special Edition)
Movie Review: ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING
Summary: 5 Stars
Andrew Niccol's GATTACA is one of the most intelligently written sci-fi thrillers to grace the silver screen. The acting ( particularly by Ethan Hawke, and Jude Law ) is superb, but one of the most extraordinary things about this extremely believable movie is how absolutely convincing it manages to be with so little in the way of special effects, or CGI work. The moral issues it raises, are reminiscent of those in BLADE RUNNER, but handled in an even more believable fashion. If you like movies that require a few gray cells to enjoy them, you should enjoy this exceptional film.Movie Review: Frank Lloyd Wright
Summary: 5 Stars
This film, as a film, is wonderful. I fully agree with the praise slathered on this film by others. I would add one other reason for buying this film. Much of the film was shot in the Marin County Court House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, perhaps America's pre-eminent architect, and completed after his death. It is an extraordinary building and, while built in the 50's, stands in quite realistically for the near future of Gattaca.Movie Review: Gattaca Works in English Classroom
Summary: 5 Stars
As a a high school English teacher, I look for ways to engage my students in not only literature, but ethical debates. After teaching Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, I showed Gattaca. We worked together to compare the two main characters. They were with me 100% and really began to explore their moral values concerning genetic engineering. The film is top-notch in terms of acting, cinematography, and plot. Love it!Movie Review: Science Teacher Uses this for classes
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful story of how love and the human spirit can never be forgotten when exploring the future of genetic engineering. My sophomores love this movie, and discuss it thoroughly in the context of bio-ethics.
It is also worth noting that Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and Ethan Hawke are superb, and the story is powerful. Can't miss this wonderful story!
Movie Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A fascinating and insightful look at the future with exceptional production design and fine acting (aside from Miss Thurman), Gattaca is both a thought-provoking view of a dystopian future and a nail-bitingly tense thriller which holds a well-deserved place on my shelf and should be on yours too.
