	Gattaca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gattaca's dystopian depiction of "genoism" has been cited by many bioconservative critics in support of their view that liberal eugenics should be discouraged and even banned.
		"Gattaca" is a word made from the abbreviations for the DNA nucleotide bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
		Gattaca is also reminiscent of Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, which explores the development of biological engineering as one of the means of creating a utopian society.

	gattaca
		Gattaca is set in "the not-too-distant future," when perfect humans ("valids") are bred by computer and trained for elite jobs, while "Godchildren" -- people born the old-fashioned, imperfect way -- are doomed to marginal lives as cogs in the machine.
		Gattaca has few special effects, and its sets are struck from the stark, antiseptic mold of David Cronenberg movies.
		Gattaca is the most elegant and hypnotic sci-fi thriller in years -- a vision as dazzling as it is bleak.

	"Gattaca" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Gattaca offers an opportunity to discuss the effects of prejudice and the reality of genetic determinism (the theory that people are born with certain tendencies, instead of choosing their lifestyle).
		I recommend Gattaca for one of those nights when all the videos you are trying to rent are out, and you are trying to fill in the void with something at least half decent.
		Gattaca is not so much a scifi flick as a drama presenting the aspirations of an individual against an oppressive social structure.

	Salon \| "Gattaca"
		"Gattaca," an intermittently imaginative new movie about a "not too distant future" dominated by a genetically programmed elite, alters this picture in subtle ways: Its characters strive for a germ-free gleam but always seem to be littering the floor with unwanted bits of genetic material -- eyelashes, skin flakes, hair.
		"Gattaca's" protagonist is an "Invalid" masquerading as one of the elite.
		For all their dress-for-success genetic programming, "Gattaca's" elites are a strangely neurotic, petulant lot; Jerome, for example, seems to have begun his downward spiral when his athletic prowess won him only a silver medal instead of a gold.

	The DVD Journal: Gattaca
		Gattaca is one of the best science fiction films ever made, and it shares company with a handful of laudable sci-fi classics, among them Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
		The Gattaca campus is awash in irony, since it hardly provides us with what we might have imagined.
		The interiors of Gattaca are subtly but effectively mixed, with whispered conversations coming out of the rear channels and a touch of echo added to every voice, footstep, and heartbeat.

	Talk:Gattaca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To me Gattaca appears to be based in substantial part on Robert A. Heinlein's novel Beyond This Horizon, published in about 1940.
		From Special:Contributions/David_Shear: "2005-12-30 12:18:53 (hist) (diff) Gattaca (moved Gattaca to GATTACA: The film title, GATTACA, is intentionally all uppercase, since it is drawn from the ATGC genetic code of DNA.

		Gattaca's protagonist, Vincent (Ethan Hawke), dreams of a very literal escape; he's in training for a flight to one of Saturn's moons.
		When the murder investigation reveals that in-valid Vincent is on the grounds of Gattaca, a futuristic corporation, detective Alan Arkin never thinks to compare his picture to the actual faces of employees, preferring instead to rely on a blood test.
		Gattaca sees our freedom in the stars--an idea that, like the movie's art decoration, comes straight from the golden age of science fiction.

		A Gattaca executive is killed and a stray eyelash is found at the murder scene.
		Gattaca was a relatively low budget movie, but by the 1990s even a low-budget movie could have a wonder-full Science-Fictional rocket launch to climax the film.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Gattaca"
		Here is the bare-bones storytelling about Vincent Freeman, the "faith birth" who struggles to remain hidden in the world of Gattaca as a "stolen helix." An investigation into a murder threatens to reveal his status as a man with a "Dna Error", which is effective is keeping the story moving and the questions coming.
		Gattaca, which is much less of an action movie than I thought (not a bad thing), takes place in the future after mankind has discovered how to genetically manipulate offspring.
		I wouldn’t go so far to say Gattaca is the best movie ever made and everyone should see it this second, but it’s extremely well done on every level and yes, you should go see it if you haven’t already and if you like science fiction.

		GATTACA is therefore a very literate piece of speculative SF that should appeal to those who desire more than the standard STAR WARS (1977) or bug-eyed alien fare.
		Gattaca paints a future where the haves are genetically designed and the have-nots are genetically inferior with no hope of advancement.
		Gattaca, with its heavy detective cat-and-mouse, could be the successor to Alfred Bester's THE DEMOLISHED MAN. This was a very well made film with a good story, characters, acting and pacing.

	GATTACA
		GATTACA is probably more well-known as the film that sparked Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke's real life love affair, than the stunning sci-fi thriller it is. Uninspired marketing guaranteed this film a poor reception in theaters, which came and went without much fanfare.
		He quickly rises to the top – no one expects anything different – and is about to be sent on his dream mission when Gattaca's mission director is brutally killed on the premises.
		GATTACA is a thoughtful film about society's prejudices and the potential dark side of messing with mother nature.

	Gattaca (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Vincent (Ethan Hawke) has wanted to work there since he was a child, but since his parents did not "pre-order" him, he was born inferior (a 99 % chance of heart failure by the age of 30, physical and mental problems, etc.
		He even meets Irene (Uma Thurman) a sexy female worker at Gattaca who takes a shine to Vincent (who she thinks is Eugene).
		Gattaca is a great visual movie (it was nominated for the best art direction oscar but lost to Titanic), rides strong on very good performances by Ethan Hawke and Jude Law, and is definitely worth seeing.

	Gattaca . Newcity Chicago . 10-27-97
		"Gattaca" is a curious hybrid, with a story that encapsulates its theme in every movement, in the densest sense of Hollywood classicism, yet it is captured in the amber of a look as glassy and monumental as contemporary European art movies.
		The future of "Gattaca" is as cold-blooded as the lobby of an expensive hotel or an airline terminal, or their breathless, transient populations.
		Some have rejected "Gattaca" out of hand as ponderous, suffocating artiness, but there are few themes where this burnished, serenely confident style could be more appropriate.

	Gattaca
		Gattaca (1997) is probably one of the best science fiction films ever made, yet it is a film which has escaped much close scrutiny, and which didn't do terribly well on first release.
		Gattaca deals with a future that draws ever-ever closer where parents dictate the genetic makeup of their child.
		Gattaca's answer to this is biological, a meticulous series of close up shots of skin flakes, eyelashes, urine, pinpricks of blood - all the substances used for DNA testing.

		Gattaca (1997) by Andrew Niccol includes the constructed language Esperanto.
		Part thriller, part futuristic drama and cautionary tale, Gattaca establishes its social structure so convincingly that the entire scenario is chillingly believable.
		With Uma Thurman as the woman who loves Vincent and identifies with his struggle, Gattaca is both stylish and smart, while Jude Law's performance lends the film a note of tragic and heartfelt humanity.

	Tapestry
		Set in the not-too-distant future, when genetic make-up overshadows every other aspect of an individual, "Gattaca" introduces the audience to a world where science has the ability to create the perfect human being and where natural conception (the equivalent of genetic roulette) is frowned upon.
		He falls for an attractive colleague (Uma Thurman) and is under consideration for a coveted spot on a manned mission to one of Saturn's moons.
		Vincent accidentally loses an eyelash (believe me, in this world that matters), which is found by police (giving new meaning to the term "sweeping" the premises) who run it through their computer, discover that (gasp!) an unaccounted for In-Valid was in the offices and immediately assume that he must be the killer.
