>people with heart defects should be allowed to become astronauts
I hope Vincent got a heart attack midway to Titan
>>68972686
The second half of the movie is awful, especially the ending.
>>68972496
I don't understand how this movie went so unknown. It clearly cost a fair amount of money to make, did they forget to buy advertising?
>>68974433
Being awful does not make a motion picture a flick. There are many good flicks, and there are many bad films.
Please learn what words mean before using them, or just stop using them altogether.

He didn't have a heart condition, he just had a high probability of developing one.

showed gattaca to a friendgirl when I was young, at first she's like what is this some boring sci-fi shit, then cried at the end.
I will never not like ethan hawke because filename related.

Pretty good.
I think my nostalgia makes the movie better than it really is.

So far so good, but the music vocals by Loulou Hughes is a turn off :- (
>I never saved anything for the swim back.
>>68970985
Great movie but it seemed to be blaming society for something that was clearly the fault of Ethan Hawke's character's parents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96EChBYVFhU
From the same people who did the Biting Elbows music videos
>>68979250
>fault
Ethan Hawke's characters parents was "pleps".
Ethan Hawke's character wanted to be more.
>>68979643
They refused to improve his genes or something like that, they had a natural birth.
>>68976331
That's the joke you double nigger
>>68972496
could have been a lot better without the Tupac character or pretty much everything after the first half hour

>>68980388
OK. The beginning is interesting, but the ending is unsatisfying.
>>68980212
They really bungled the ending of this, especially when the ending of the book is so phenomenal. I still love this movie though.
Made in 1999.
It still keeps getting more relevant.
Also, it's worth watching for all the sexual innuendo alone.
>>68980664
I will watch that tomorrow.

I second Night of the Comet, and suggest Night of the Creeps
>>68980806
It underperformed, but I don't think it's still underrated. The masses have caught now, haven't they?
Same thing with DREDD.

Edge of tomorrow was good enough.
It blends in with (the less good) Oblivion.

Just now realized what the title is composed of. Duh.
>>68980907

No one supported it at the box office.
People went to see that crap GotG instead.
I'd say it's underrated

I think Guardians of the Galaxy was meant for a different/younger audience.

>>68983390
>12 Monkeys
>underrated
Come on m8.
>>68983390
How is are Brazil or 12 Monkeys underrated?
>>68983421
In the mainstream consciousness they both have pretty much been forgotten. Science fiction fans all love Brazil, probably more than it deserves, but 12 Monkeys is Brad Pitt's best performance.
That list is more of a gateway list, assuming OP isn't very deep into scifi to begin with.
>>68983610
Brazil is also Doug walker's favorite movie.
>>68983703
Brazil and Blade Runner are probably the two most common favorite science fiction movie among casual sci-fi fans
>>68979876
Rare gem desu.
>>68983703
I have friends that absolutely love Brazil. I have tortured myself 3 times watching it through, but in the end, it fails miserably for me. 12 Monkeys is another film that falls far short. To each his own.
>>68983895
To eat his own what?
>>68983390
Soylent Green is one of my favorites. The scene with the great Edward G. Robinson at the end always gets me. The color shock really does put you in there with him.
>>68973524
>>68977116
The film is completely inconsistent with Vincent's heart condition. He goes near panic mode when he's on that treadmill, but, then, he beats his brother, who should be far more physically superior to him, and not having a potential heart condition, in a swimming race. Swimming is an exercise activity far more strenuous and dangerous for Vincent, yet, somehow, he still manages to beat his brother, and doesn't suffer from the problems like he did on the treadmill of light jogging.
His (enhanced) brother even states that their parents thought Vincent died in his twenties, suggesting that if the defect did exist, it would prevent him from doing all the physical activity he needed to engage in to pass as a borrowed ladder. The writers screwed up on this part, but it only makes sense if Vincent never had a heart condition, at least for now, because he pulls off feats that shouldn't be possible otherwise.
SPACE OPERA!
>>68979250
Vincent was conceived naturally; even if his parents desired a designed child, such as his brother, the method used to create such a child would not help Vincent, who was born without such optimal conditions. Vincent represents the failed profiles screened out in the process of selecting a genetic profile that would create a designed child of Gattaca. Vince represents people who weren’t able to access the professionals and technology required to make PGD possible, or people like us, born too early to take advantage of it.
The world of Gattaca is not flawed because it creates a society of people with perfect health, it is flawed because it discriminates against those who unable to meet the criteria, and their lives are hampered as a consequence. The society of Gattaca is so reliant on PGD it has resulted in a future where medical technology has stagnated. Evidence of this is shown in the film: Vincent and Anton’s parents both died young, with their offspring only in their late 20s-early 30s at the time.
There are no gene therapies, personalized drugs, stem cell treatments or even laser eye surgeries, available for people like Vincent that can treat his medical conditions and help him compete with the designed humans. These are medical technologies aiding people at this moment; a future where medical technology only assists those born fortunate is a terrible era to live in. Deliberately neglecting the people who suffer most is an indication of its morality.

The plot sounds as stupid as a scy-fy original movie. That way it surprised me even more how good it was.
>>68970985
Have a weird spot in my brain for this movie. Some Chad football fuck brought this to Biology class and our hot ass Volleyball coach/Science teacher (yeah really) wouldn't get off his dick about what great taste in movies he had

>>68977116
>went into cardiac arrest
That means died.
Not sure if they're considered underrated but recent sci-fi movies that don't get mentioned nearly enough include:
Another Earth
Melancholia
Love (2011)
Last Night (1998)
They're more character oriented fantasy/sci-fi, meaning there's not a lot of action, but I love them all. Love is one of my all time favorites.

Solaris remake with Clooney.
That fucking soundtrack and the rainy earth scenes are god tier comfy for me.
>>68987959
Just fuck off you casual garbage lover and stop polluting actual cinema by promoting your shit sensibilities.
Gattaca is probably one of the top 10 underrated movies of all time, it's a 10/10 movie undoubtedly. Only movie I think is more underrated is The Raid 2.
