KosIg This movie is nothing less than an inspiration for all the people to strive to their maximal potential and surpass it. The idea in the movie is also surreal, we are getting closer to human DNA editing, its just a matter of time some trust deems it safe and effective and mandatory.
leogary The film has touched me like no other film has ever done, and I never fail to be deeply moved every SINGLE time I watch it. Ethan Hawk, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and the others, under the guidance of the director, having this great fiction so wonderfully rendered, I'm simply lost for words to express how deeply I LOVE this movie. A man, with all its flaws, against all those huge adversity and ill fate, strives to reach his dream, without any reservation. I believe every one shares some of that desperate spirit of Vincent. As for me, I'm Vincent.
AgallochNZ Dystopian fictions can be premonitions, and this one is no exception. The premise of the movie is interesting and plausible: a near-future society with social classes structured according to genetic strength. Those more prone to ailments and disease are cast lower in society, and the wealthier, more fortunate positions are reserved for those who are deemed genetically fitter. But unfortunately the premise is where the greatness of this movie ends. The cinematography is bland, and very orange, which doesn't seem to add anything of interest to the mood of the film. The acting, whilst good, is not memorable. Somehow the movie turned a gripping premise into a mundane, yet watchable 100 minutes. 3 out of 10 because the premise is solid and very thought provoking. However, the movie is very sub-par. If this is your idea of a good movie: all good, each to their own. Myself? I could have lived without watching it.
georgeaehret I just watched this film again tonight. It's truly incredible. It's hard to believe that this film isn't in the top 250 of IMDb considering that most people who have seen it agree that it's a great film (at least from my experience). The film has excellent performances, beautiful production design and cinematography, a great script, and fantastic direction. Many ideas in this film are genius and gives the film a bit of a Terry Gilliam vibe at times. Nothing wrong with that of course. It's a tragic yet beautiful depiction of the future and the best science fiction film of the 90s. Kicks Terminator 2 in the ass.
