Review of Gattaca

Gattaca (1997)
10/10
Where do I begin?
20 April 2003
Oh, where do I begin about this movie. This is one of the best science fiction films ever made, certainly one of the best movies ever made in the 90s. The storyline is fresh, witty, and sublime, those factors are very rare in Hollywood, especially now more than ever. I could honestly say this is a perfect film, I was clapping at the end, and when you do that, you know it's special.

The cast is great, Ethan Hawke is the lead character, you have to understand that he could be on the best actors we have if he got more good projects, Training Day was a good pick-me-up, I hope he continues making good movies. His character is sympathetic and dynamic in this movie. Jude Law is one of the best supporting actors ever, and he goes alongside Hawke perfectly. Also we have Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine in a very small role, but his conversations between him and Hawke represent a very important theme of the movie, hope and escape. Uma Thurman is a really great actress, she is good here. Finally we have Alan Arkin who is the detective, conducting a search inside Gattaca.

You will be amazed how this movie was shot, it has great camera work. The script is bulletproof, and the themes about life that this has to offer will stay in your mind for a long time. Thsi movie has so much to offer the viewer, and it appeals to a wide variety of people. Perfect 10/10 for this movie, go see it.
