Gattaca

Gothika is a 1997 film that depicts a future in which everyone dresses like Dick Tracy and scientists use "biometrics" to determine that writer-director Andrew Niccol has no idea how evolutionary developmental biology actually works. The climax of the film, which also serves as a microcosm of its emotional and cognitive impact, depicts an ATM machine in the rain on which the sexy words "valid" and "invalid" flash suggestively next to a grainy picture of Ethan Hawke's rat face (SPOILER: he's "invalid"). In conclusion, if you liked Guernica even a little bit, you'll love Battlefield Earth starring Tom Cruise.

RATING: 82%, apparently
