Gattaca
Starring: Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke, Jude Law Directed by: Andrew Niccol Rated PG-13 Running Time: 106 Minutes Synopsis: In a new world, genetic engineering of a child is common and almost required to succeed. In a world where children are made by love and not genetic engineering are called In-Valids are the bottom of the social ladder. One "In-Valid" tries to become an astronaut, but not being genetically perfect he isn't able to. So he decides to falsify his identity and become someone else. My Thoughts: I read the book before I saw the movie. I was very intrigued by the story. I was ecstatic when I heard that it was being made into a movie. So here we go. SCORECARD: Acting: Jude Law as a paraplegic was very well cast, he did an excellent and believable job as an angry man who has lost everything. Ethan Hawke did a very good job as Vincent and played the part perfectly, I wasn't a fan of choosing Uma Thurman as Irene because I don't find her to be all that talented of an actress, but she did a fine job here. (1) Story: Like I said earlier, I read the book first, so I knew what was coming. This story was very interesting and captivating. Just the whole idea was brilliant. (1) Direction: The director of this movie has only done a few big projects, the three I have seen were all very well done. (Lord of War, Simone, Gattaca). There was a little bit that didn't really click, but overall the direction of the movie was good enough. (1/2) Expectations: I had high expectations for this movie, it did disappoint a little but not a whole lot. (1/2) Boring?: Not at all boring. The story was written well enough to keep you intrigued and wanting to know what happens next. (1) FINAL SCORE: 4 out of 5 Final Thoughts: This was my favorite movie for the longest time, I really enjoyed every aspect of this movie. Questions or Comments? email me! jason@seymourmovies.com
