Gattaca was an interesting movie to watch. However obviously in trawled with the super imposed artistic direction and set the director made narrative flaws and stretched the basics of how DNA really works. With that aside, however the movie was defiantly enchaining and well worth a see. The basic premiss of the flick is that its the future and because its the future everyone is unsolicited prick, let me explain. People have stumbled across the technology to create designer babes, meaning that if your not a prepackaged tod you get shafted for every job going other than cleaner (and McDonald's workers I'd imagine). Herein lies the first technological pit of the film, when a baby is born it's WHOLE LIFE is maped out with a simple blood sample, not only genetic defects or inherent decease but the child's WHOLE LIFE. This is not posable in realty because ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS have an impact of health but suspension of disbelief and all that so let's move on. So this kid, unaltered, is born (the main protagonist) and hes a wimp, he's got a week heart, grows to up skinny and is short. At first it was all fine and dandy, then his parents had another kid this time a designer baby (who do you think was the favorite?) The occurrence of the demon child caused the unaltered son to gain a inferiority complex and leave his family hose in early adulthood. Snap forward and the kid is working a cleaning job at a space station, space like every American is where the protagonist always dreamed of going. After working around the people in the station and watching the ships take off everyday the main character gets the ump to go and get a job there, but how will he do this, by assuming someone's identity of course, a British guy to boot. Needless to say he gets the job, falls in love almost gets found out and then theirs a happy ending of him taking off into space, not so happy for the British guy though, he turns crispy. Theirs sub plots involving his brother being a detective and murder that his brother is investigating, which his real identity is the suspected culprit. So on and so on. Overall the film was dry. A very commonly hashed out plot with the TWIST OF THE FUTURE AND CLONES OR SOMETHING! The movie, honestly didn't hold my attention to a great extent and fell on it's face every now and then. (I mean seriously they have all this super DNA tec and yet they can't tell that the main protagonist posing as an Englishman has an thick and i mean THICK American accent?) The film had some thought provoking content and a very fleshed out symbolic set but the theoretical value ie story and plausibility are very hit and miss. Id give it a 3 out of five. A OK film but not that masterful.
