GATTACA micro-review

Rented it because I recall hearing that it was well received at a previous SF marathon (before I started attending it).

Hated it.

I was ready to like it (except for the totally extraneous bite-me love story). I appreciated how the setting was not a generic Orwellian dystopia, with the depiction of an honestly ambitious and successful space program keeping things nicely ambiguous. Then the ending made me retroactively hate the entire film that came before.

( It did an insult unto me. )

This is the first time in memory I have shut off a movie in disgust within (what I assume to be) seconds of the closing credits, so I didn't even get the grim satisfaction of feeling like I walked out on it.

queue finds 10th anniversary Settlers with 3-D landscape-style hexes and painted miniatures for pieces. Includes wudda robbers.

$400, though.
