    In the 1997 dystopian scifi film Gattaca, rapid DNA testing is used to determine social class and job eligibility. In 2026 UK, women wanting to participate in athletics must pay a £185 gender tax to take part in a genetic lottery where some will be ineligble due to previously unknown chromosones.

    Gattaca (1997) ⭐ 7.7 | Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller. I recommend this movie to everyone, I think it really talks about what makes us human. Good performances, good score and the sci-fi world of the movie feels too real and not as far as it seems to our reality. It was really underappreciated when it came out, so if you haven't seen it now is the time to make you a favor!

    Name of exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings and a person strapped into the middle spinning in all directions?. Following on from https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/comment/16014727 In almost every scifi-action movie of the 90s, there appears an exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. IIRC the outside ring is immobile and upright, while the inner two move on different axes, so the user can spin any which way.…

    Why Does So Much New Technology Feel Inspired by Dystopian Sci-Fi Movies?. **The industry keeps echoing ideas from bleak satires and cyberpunk stories as if they were exciting possibilities, not grim warnings.** In a recent article published in the New York Times, author Casey Michael Henry argues that today's tech industry keeps borrowing dystopian sci-fi aesthetics and ideas -- often the parts that were meant as warnings -- and repackages them as exciting products without recognizing that…

    Just rewatched GATTACA. A masterpiece. Perfect movie. A futuristic neo-noir that still has something to say. Also I found a draft of the script online that has a different ending than what made it to screen. Glad they didn’t go this way, would’ve really changed the feeling of that ending (spoilers)

    Revisited GATTACA (1997), which is not a perfect film, but it's gorgeously shot and an enthralling sci-fi tale about class. Ethan Hawke is one of the best actors working today. So fortunate to have been able to interview him a couple of years ago for THE BLACK PHONE. 🎥 #filmsky #criterionchannel

    I think that you're thinking about "The 13th Floor", which was nominated for an award for best sci-fi film, and ended up losing the The Matrix. That was a good time for sci-fi though. Gattaca and Event Horizon had come out just a year or two earlier.

    Very funny that Gattaca created the blueprint for looksmaxxing because Ethan Hawke was already gorgeous and the movie is about how neither hard work nor genetics will get you anywhere if you don't have people supporting you and lifting you up. Also it is SO YELLOW. The Matrix ruined movies.

    You gotta love that they'll reference a movie and then completely miss the point of that movie. Because Eathan Hawke wins. The degenerate gets to go to titan. Despite all the odds stacked against him. The GATTACA stack doesn't actually matter and its Jude Law who is miserable.

    I love Gattaca and I love it a little more each year - the fact that there s no CGI in this movie makes their future always crisp, always readable, always relevant. It doesn’t age. The only grip I have with it is that everyone’s a white guy… which adds to the fascist world building I guess?

    I have a theory that the film GATTACA is not about space travel. It's about an autistic person doing what they have to do to survive this insane world. The entire film takes place in his mind. All the characters are aspects of his psyche. Not real people. It's all metaphor. Ego, Id, Superego.
