Review of Gattaca (1997) by Adrian B — 16 Jan 2012
Though not a great science fiction film as one would have hoped for, "Gattaca" is good enough for a watch. The story is about a man (Ethan Hawke) who is born with the probability of generating many health problems.
As such, his family neglects him for his intended short lifespan and finally, he abandons them to work for a company that launches a dozen annual trips into space. To get there, he starts as a janitor, but then decides to steal the identity of superiorly intelligent individual (Jude Law).
He succeeds at becoming the new person, with his permission and help of that individual. Although, his plans for going into space become threatened by a murder than occurs at the launching station. Interesting science fiction has it slows spots, but it is still likable.
The art direction and cinematography are quite good.
