The Fifth Element / Gattaca Reviews: Captivating  2007-08-22 - A decade later, Gattaca remains one of my favorite movies. I am prompted to write this review by this week's news about home DNA testing kits that allow people to check their genetic risk of cancer, as well as the gender of their 6-week-old fetus. Also, just last week I heard that my local airport is starting a business fast-track line that will scan travelers' irises. How prophetic Gattaca was, in predicting the widespread use of such technology and in warning of its risks. Great story, outstanding acting. I recommend it highly.
Outstanding film... future possibilities?  2005-08-24 - Watching Gattaca will have anyone thinking about the current day and age of stem cell research and cloning. The title itself shows the intelligence of this movie. Not many would catch it, but the title is simply a word created to look like Genetic code, made up of the letters "G", "T", "A", and "C". Beyond all the scientific and ideological themes, there lies a wonderful "underdog" story in a world of streamlined genetic perfection. This is a must have for it's story, intelligence, and breathtaking appearance.
