Gattaca is simply one of the best science fiction movies ever made -- and it is still relevant and contemporary more than a decade after its release. The acting, directing, visuals and soundtrack (Michael Nyman) for this movie are excellent. THe... Full review

This is a good sci-si movie with well-known actors and lots of good planning but requires the audience to think too much. The acting isn't too good which is unacceptable for the plot. Visuals weren't so exciting. There are no gunfights... Full review

I saw this movie in my film appreciation class. I began watching it and was thinking it was going to be a rip-off, but caught me by surprise. This film was very original and everything about this film just stood out... Full review

IS THE future, Kafka, Orwell, or George Lucas? Andrew Niccol thinks genetics. "We have discrimination down to a science," a white coat explains. No explanation necessary. Vincent (Ethan Hawke) knows the price of being a love child. Random genes. In Valid.... Full review

This movie had so many beautiful lines in the script that were seemingly artistically poetic. Very, very interesting story line set in the very near future. This movie is great and a must see for anyone who enjoys a little bit... Full review

Deserves much more of a spotlight considering its depth of both characters and storyline. This is one of the top ten movies of all time, basically--ranking up there with Ben Hur, Bridge on the River Kawi, The Matrix, and of course,... Full review

I'm not one of those people that enjoy watching movies more than once, but this movie captured my attention from the start, and surprisingly has not lost my interest though I've seen it more than 4 times now. I loved Jude... Full review

Gattaca is an outstanding exception to the rule; its all science, sociology, philosophy, and sex appeal and no action, effects, or horror. Rounding out the DVD are six deleted scenes that prove a wise editor is essential, and a single hilarious outtake - the only bit of humour youll see in Gattaca. ... Full Review

Gattaca has aged well since its release. Calling Gattaca a masterpiece would be overstepping a tad. At the time of Gattaca 's 1997 release, the future it suggested was just starting to sound plausible. ... Full Review
