A different type of sci-fi movie than you're used to seeing. It doesn't have much action, but it nonetheless has a very effective cat and mouse chase throughout.

MCT:October 23, 2008I have never heard of this movie, yet when I saw a bit at school, I knew I had to see more. Now I have, I really don't understand why I hadn't heard of it. Most underrated movie I've ever seen.
Very ambitious this movie was. It tackled so many themes, discrimination, genetic modification, and most importantly that anything is possible.
This film played out like a dream. An innovative, bold, powerful, emotional, dream, in which you will wake up feeling truly inspired.
I enjoy watching science fiction, but I hate aliens, robots and time travel, the only aspect I actually like is genetics, for its psychobabble. It?s metaphors are poetic, the game of chicken between the two brothers, Jerome ?travelling? in the incinerator, where his medal turns to gold, Vincent?s relationship with his brother.
The art diection is very clever. Gattaca doesn't show us a whole new world, just a modified version of our own. It uses existing architecture and design to create a futuristc look. Its all very subtle and everything is implied. Brlliant.
As a movie it is superb, acting, special effects, writing etc, all superb, at the end of the movie you?ll feel that it doesn?t really matter. Its purpose is to deliver a message, which is has done and done well. It really didn?t have much special effect, which will certainly bore some, but it shows that it wants to evoke a feeling that differs from excitement for once; it wants to get you thinking.
The only reason this film has collected dust for so long is because people are scared. They?re scared of what this means, they?re scared to think and most of all they?re scared to admit that this could happen. Simply sublime. -

How naive this movie seems already. In the era before epigenetics & RNA computers, the thought that the Genetics we're born with is unchangeable, unmalleable is simply quaint.

It's weird i never saw this before...it's a really good sci-fi movie. The only thing that would make this movie perfect is if there were someone else instead of Uma Thurman...she kinda sucks.

I thought it would be this geeky space movie and it wasn't, even though the cover basically makes it seem like it is it wasn't. Its pretty cool, definitely not a freak movie. Its a great movie. Good acting, but towards the end ehhhh it got a little off the point.
