GATTACA (1997)
Seen on DVD 31st July 2008

The future freaks me out!

STORY: 4/7
The movie opens on the HORRORFYING premise that in the future we will have designer babies all over the place. If you don't have PERFECT genes, then you will basically be doomed to a shit life from birth. Vincent isn't perfect, but Jerome is, so basically, Vincent uses every trick possible to BECOME Jerome.

ACTING: 4/7
Uma is BRILLIANT, probably cause she's Uma!! Jude Law and Ethan Hawke are also pretty cool actually.

CINEMATOGRAPHY / VISUAL EFFECTS: 5.5/7
It's a really cool looking movie... EXCEPT there's un upside down sex scene. What the heck is the point with the upside down sex scene?? and it's next to a window, next to the ocean, so it looks like they're floating upside down over the ocean on some rocks. (it really got to me)

SCORE / SOUND: 3.5/7
To be honest... i don't remember the score AT ALL

SONGS: N/A:



OVERALL: 4.5/7
