A lower-budget production, particularly by an independent studio, will also have far less interference from "producers" who try to justify their salary by giving notes.
Gattaca is from '97, which was right in the middle of a golden era for movies. Independent films took off and even big studios were affected by the shift.
With regards to GP's comment about bad effects, look at the cult classic Event Horizon from the same year. It still holds up in a lot of ways, but there's one laughably bad element: horrible CGI water droplet effects. It was a hot new effect and they shoved it into way too many shots.
- canucker2016 4y agoYou don't know how good you have it until you see really bad stuff. Take the animated TV series Space Angel ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Angel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Angel ), which evidently used the patented-at-the-time Syncro-Vox ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchro-Vox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchro-Vox ) to display moving lips on the animated characters. It makes Hanna-Barbera cartoons look like Disney-quality works in comparison. The lips made me cringe back when I was a kid watching reruns of the show. YouTube has episodes of the show.
