I love this movie so much. There was talk not long ago about a TV adaptation which sounds like a terrible idea, although the 12 Monkeys TV show was really good. Also since Ethan Hawke is in this it is another opportunity to recommend watching the Before Trilogy.

Oooh, fantastic! I was about to go to bed but I'm gonna watch this one now instead. Thanks for picking it, Joseph!

Love love love this movie. Andrew Niccol has had a pretty interesting career, he had a couple masterpieces in this and The Truman Show, but then his other stuff is a mixed bag at best. If you noticed that in the opening and closing credits, only the letters G, A, T, C are highlighted; those are the letters in the title, but more importantly they stand for the four DNA nucleotide bases. I have to wonder if that was an inspiration for the way Breaking Bad highlights the atomic symbols in its credits.

I'm still not a fan of tv adaptions of movies. I'm sure there are exceptions but not everything needs to be a tv show. The Before Trilogy is something we need to watch desperately

A million years ago I studied molecular biology, so I instantly recognized the meaning behind the title of this (amazing) movie. > In a DNA molecule, the four bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G); where adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. <

The ORIGINAL Planet of the Apes Charlton Heston movies had a companion TV series where they wander the "Forbidden Zone"- i.e. ruined NYC subways etc was pretty good. I was 2 in 1968 so saw the original in rerun, the sequels as a kid, and the TV series as a kid when it was first run on ABC in 1974 when I was 8.

So will this be the US in 2028 after the Billionaires sitting in the key seats on Jan 20 have their way with us

Production budget was $36M, box office was $12.5M so a flop at release, which was unfortunate...
