Title: Which Sci-Fi Movie is this?....
Post by: Zapper on July 26, 2004, 01:56:52 pm: I'm trying to think of the name of a futuristic/sci-fi movie that was made a few years ago, it's driving me nuts.

The main character is a young business type guy that pretends to be perfect because everyone else that gets ahead are genetically engineered to be perfect.

Post by: fredster on July 26, 2004, 02:12:39 pm: Gattica for sure.

Had Uma Therman in it. She was his girlfriend.

The real "prefect" guy burned himself up in an incenarator at the end and dude flew to saturn.

Post by: hyiu on July 26, 2004, 02:56:49 pm: yes, I think its Gattaca....

I rented it by accident... (they give me the wrong tape...)
but it turns out its a pretty good movie....

that guy's parent decided to create a kid "the natural way"...
and genetically... (according to the technology... he's high risk for sickness and stuffs and is considered lowered grade human...)

he took someone else's identity... (that guy is like paralysed by an accident....)

he finally became an astronaut....

pretty good movie....

Post by: Grasshopper on July 26, 2004, 05:02:36 pm: Yes, definitely Gattaca. Cool film.

The scary thing is that a lot of the things in this film will almost certainly happen. Insurance companies are already lobbying for the right to test people for genetic diseases. How long will it be before employers do the same?

Post by: hunky_artist on July 26, 2004, 06:33:03 pm: Gattaca is an excellent film. Both stylish and watchable, AND you get the sadly all too real message of where our society is headed.

I'll have to watch it again.

They already are testing in Germany for genetic diseases, and refusing employment.

In the UK if they find out you have a genetic disease, like Huntington's disease, they can refuse employment also.
