"There's a lot to be said about good genes. In this movie, the fight for survival of the fittest, this futuristic society said, "Let's cross the line!" Only the humans with the best selected DNA make it to the Jonses neighborhood. Hmmmm...Uma Thurman stars in this film. I've seen her contorted toes in Kill Bill. GATTACA would have invlidated her as a person. The cerebral people would like watching. "

"I still don’t get the deal with these “virtual worlds” the kids are all into today, but apparently someone at Paramount Pictures is hip enough to exploit get involved. The studio is opening its film vault and supplying both There.com and vMTV (which like Paramount is owned by Viacom) with thousands of very short “PG-13-or-tamer” video clips of parts of its movies (examples given are Footloose and Clueless). Unlike the full-length versions of The Matrix and Gattaca that are available in the “world” of Gaia Online, these clips are not as much for entertainment purposes as they are a sort of virtual way to “speak” in movie quotes. There.com and vMTV members will be able to e "

"Gattaca (1997), found in the sci-fi section, is a film for the thinking, discerning adult. In the near future, class discrimination and racial discrimination have been replaced with genetic engineering. If your parents were unwise enough to conceive you naturally, you are inferior and an “in-valid” and will spend your working life as some sort of janitor. But our naturally-conceived protagonist (Ethan Hawke) wants to be an astronaut. Desperate, he strikes a deal with a paraplegic “valid” to assume his identify in return for keeping him in the lap of luxury. Although the ethical issues never slip far from center stage, the suspense is predominant: Will he get caught before he can get into space? The film moves along at a leisurely but steady pace, making the suspense more intense. Suddenly you realize what it is like for this guy day in and day out. Jim Bell< "

"I feel like there are a host of almost well executed Sci-fi films that could really be great on TV. Did you ever see Millenium with Kris Kristoferson? Great idea, awful execution. Or Gattica was excellent as well. It seems like all great Sci-fi presents a world with hard rules that leave great territory open to explore, which is why a good Sci-fi series can keep going. I don't get why they ever put Star Trek TNG to bed. "
