Review of Gattaca (1997) by Shoquanda S — 18 Jul 2018
Gattaca is slightly confusing and has a couple of plot holes, but don't let that stop you from seeing it. In fact, it's a lot like Minority Report: slick, smart science-fiction thriller that is good fun until the third act, which only the intelligent will understand.
Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman (and Alan Arkin, for that matter) are excellent in this film, and I really don't have anything bad to say about their performances. It's beautifully shot and everything about Gattaca's movement is poetic and elegant, but it sometimes gets caught up in its own thoughtfulness, if you know what I mean.
It's sleek, polished, and fun *enough*, but fun isn't the purpose, I don't think... it's how deep it makes you think and how well it's made, and in both cases, it succeeds.
