I saw this movie when I was in college and had no idea about the plot or anything. Actually just saw for the sake of seeing a free movie from my friend! Now it is one of the top 3 movies that I love along with Fisher King. I dont want to spoil the movie for you if you havent seen the movie yet. TRUST me this movie will stay in your conciousness for a long time.

I watched this movie after I had read 1984 and Brave New World last year and so was expecting the brilliant future robotic utopia theme to be brought to life through motion pictures.
It was not as great as I expected, as I felt the theme was just redundant and played out low-key. But thinking about this, I think that was part of the idea of the movie. To show how dull life would be if everyone was to be just like robots doing designated duties day in day out without any creativity.
It was still a good movie, nevertheless. I was introduced to Ethan Hawke, an actor I like very much now. Jude Law is just great in classy roles as is Uma Thurman. Famous faces set up the expertise and class in this movie.
4 stars because I like the ideas, cause you to think, but I felt it should have been made in a more exciting manner. I'll admit to almost dozing off a few times.
What's great about it: intriguing theme, great Jude Law/Ethan Hawke/Uma Thurman team, thought-provoking
What's not so great: redundent, complicated nature yet simplistic film, not as awestriking as expected

As part of the curriculum we show this movie to discuss bioethics. I never saw the film until this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did my students. I had several actually watch it on TV a week or so later.

It's a great movie with original ideas about the not too distant future and an ordinary guy struggling to overcome barriers put in front of him in life because of a DNA analysis done when he was born.

A great look at how bio-engineering can not account for the human spirit. It has some classic scenes that will stick with you long after the movie has ended.
