It's been over twenty years, and "Gattaca" is still a relevant imagining of the future, which is quite impressive, considering twenty years prior to this, sci-fi movies still imagined reel to reel magnetic tape as a technology used in the future. Solid movie, one of the classic 90's sci-fi movies.

'Gattaca' isn't about genetic engineering, it's about the American Dream. Like 'Rocky', Vincent is the underdog in everyone's eyes. The big difference being Vincent was born an underdog. The tension on whether people will discover Vincent for all of his genetic faults and the stumbling blocks he hits on the way to his goal has you investing yourself in him as you would Rocky. 'Gattaca' is a story of determination and sacrifice masked as a sci-fi epic. It's impossible not to be motivated by it.

I'm a sucker for Ethan Hawke. On re-viewing I've raised this 10 points. The prejudices displayed in the movie are so stupid, and so is Vincent's explanation for how he succeeded, but it's all very moving. He claims he simply left nothing in reserve, his determination saw him through. But in truth he dedicated himself and cultivated his body and his skills, fanatically. He couldn't afford to be anything but the best. So he was. But he worked for it.

This is a masterpiece at creating a sci-fi mood by elevating our current anxieties. Here we get a great hero who navigates life as an outcast in a caste system where rigid social constructs are masqueraded as so-called genetics. At times the dystopian world-building is hokey--like the obligatory futuristic slang. But it makes up for it with Hitchcockian tropes; including a cool blonde, misguided parents, the perfect crime, and tortuous suspense. And the music score is hypnotic and trippy.

One of my favorite science fiction films, Gattaca plays out a eurgenics drama with a timeless quality thanks to minimalist sets, classic 50s fashions and frank dialogue. A strings heavy score by Michael Nyman adds a nice layer of emotion to the zen like imagery. Given that the film deals with the subject of eugenics and the concept of genetic potential, I appreciated how even handed it was, allowing the various characters a great deal more depth than even the lead is afforded.

Yeah, it's stylish and everything, it's got some decent-to-good actors and there's nothing exactly bad about it, but... what's the point? One or two heavy-handed metaphors about discrimination that just seem tossed in there to justify calling it a dystopia, and as far as I can tell the only reason for that is that they wanted to do a stylish futuristic thriller.

A breath of fresh air in the realm of sci-fi flicks. The best part is that nothing in the film actually seems that improbable; sort of a not so distant present. A corny plot addition and poor writing in Uma's character were the only drawbacks.

Interesting look at the future. Coulda been better if the plot had some extra material to carry the movie forward on other than the gene code obsession. Detective being the brother of the "borrowed ladder" was kinda cheap coincidence. Sounded almost like a B-class Turkish movie. And the meeting scene of brothers lacked grip. Nice movie nonetheless. Not your ordinary flick.

I really connected with the clichéd underdog main character, an outsider who wants to prove to the world he can fit it and achieve great things. I loved the production design of this film, the combination of retro and futuristic elements and the lush honey-soaked cinematography. Although the script borders on cheesy, I thought it really combined sci-fi, romance, thriller and comedy perfectly. Great performances and direction, the film is near flawless and one of my all-time favourites!

This is my kind of sci-fi thriller. The film raises legitimate questions about the future of science, and as an aspiring biotechnologist it is a question that greatly interests me. The film also provides what I would assume to be a very real depiction of the stress such policies would have on society. I loved the music for some reason, and the acting was pretty good. Even without the exploration of science ethics, Gattaca would be a decent film. With it Niccol has a crafted a very good debut.

'Gattaca' is a heavy handed message movie with a minor twist that is as laughable as it is unnecessary. But for some strange reason the mood and tone of the thing makes it a compelling watch, quite impossible to hate. Still, it is clear that there would have been a better, much more provocative experience here, if this movie weren't so busy taking the eye-rollingly clichéed moral high ground.

A morally engaging sci-fi thriller. I really dig Niccol's vision of the future, though the film does occasionally feel somewhat cheap for when it was made. It exists in an idyllic future-past: though this is the future, and some set-design reflects that, the society depicted feels like a throwback to a bygone era, lending the movie a slight film noir vibe. Though it isn't an all-out success, the film's strengths more than make up for its weaknesses. Good cast.

Top badass moment? Has to be the 'impossible to play unless you have 12 fingers' piano performance of Schubert's Impromptu No. 3 in G flat Major, (with some extra bits). As someone who can barely manage "English Country Garden" with two fingers, am I the only one who finds that strangely arousing? Oh, right. Then I've just discovered a new kind of porn. (Well actually no, as Google gives nearly 52,000 results for "piano porn".) Now that really is very weird. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Dreamy vision of a frighteningly plausable future where people are judged by their genetic code alone and natural births are nothing but an underclass. Niccol excels in both his writing and direction (ably assisted by Michael Nyman's pitch-perfect score) to draw us completely into Vincent's world, the performances - particularly those from Hawke and Law - lock us in there. You have to be in the right mood to get the most out of it, but it's always a captivating experience.

Cold and oddly alienating sci-fi has an interesting premise, and some oddball but intriguing casting choices (Vidal & Borgnine), but botches the execution, squandering all of its attributes on a repetitive (and dreary) tale of Hawke almost getting caught... and then getting away with it; rinse and repeat! A great shame because the design of the world is slick and attractive, and a great cast performs well (seriously, where was Arkin's plot point leading to?)

In a future where eugenics crafts human specimens of perfection, Vincent, a product of natural birth, hopelessly dreams of a career at the genetically elitist Gattaca. It's a deeply romantic, humanistic story at its core. Vincent is so driven that he pays a DNA dealer to become a highly illegal "borrowed ladder". Even though Vincent is at a disadvantage his pure, undying passion earns him the position of celestial navigator. This poses some significant questions about what it means to be human.

Really strong, intriguing concept and very well acted. Niccol keeps the story tight and tense, but probably could have used some help fleshing out the science part of this science fiction - that could have given this world a little push into believability, as it currently is a bit unidimensional. The Hawke/Thurman relationship felt underdeveloped, but worked well enough for me. Doesn't deliver on the full potential of the concept, but is pretty damn good nonetheless.

A strong sci-fi concept done well. If you can excuse the numerous plotholes (they can manipulate cells at a genetic level but can't repair a spinal cord?) you'll find a smart movie that has smart things to say. It's a fairly plausible future, especially seventeen years after the fact. Of all the films to be shown in every high school biology class, you could do far worse.

Gattaca has everything: the retro style backdrops, exceptional photography, engaging acting from Law and Hawke, a thought provoking story, solid editing and a touching soundtrack. "I saved nothing for the way back" is the defining line of this masterpiece.

A fairly talented cast gives poor performances (especially Jude Law), terrible music to tug at your heart strings every five seconds, incredibly unbelievable science, and a generally shallow look at the future with countless corny and sappy moments. Gattaca feels like a poor film from the Space channel, except with a higher budget (yet still has incredibly average photography). There are still dozens of problems I could mention.

I wanted to like this film a hell of a lot more than I could in the end. In 50 years, with the advent of CRISPR, this film is going to be downright prophetic... however the story is hamfisted and there's never a moment that you're not painfully aware you're watching something staged and drawn-up to serve the concept. It is an outstanding concept and theme... but even the moral investigation, much like the beautiful art direction, is too spare to ever be immersive or impactful.

Moody, mysterious, and melancholy, GATTACA is a heady sci-fi drama in service of even more profound themes. While the central melodrama--a normal man tries to pass as genetically superior--is worth watching, it's honestly the least interesting part of the movie. The film's true heart lies in the ambivalence of its more complex, genetically-enhanced characters (including a show-stealing Jude Law) who draw out a deeper understanding of humanity's fundamental failings.

An intriguing idea turned into a gripping and intense movie. Gattaca is science fiction in its purest form: it takes a scientifically sound - even plausible - concept and takes it just one step further to craft a world that doesn't feel like fantasy, but rather a very likely future. One of the best science fiction movies of the 1990s.

A very smart science fiction film about an all-too-real future that we may be headed towards. Like any good sci-fi it asks a lot of really interesting and thought-provoking questions. It has a lot to say about its themes and doesn't back away from their implications. It helps that the cast is stellar and the romance is pretty palpable on screen.

I totally mix this movie up with a movie about Attica or attics and it is about neither.

Overrated sci fi film which suffocates the viewer in Hollywood fake sentimentality. Acting is hokey but can respect production design of the setting. A couple of good shots as well.

Intelligent and scientifically provocative, Gattaca is an absorbing sci fi drama that poses important interesting ethical questions about the nature of science.

The plot, the topic, the way the topic is addressed, the pacing, the mood, and the conclusion are just right. However, rewatching this movie reminds me what annoyed me the first time: those god damned hyperdramatic sequences with string music. Don't know why this takes me out from the movie so much, but every time they happen I sigh and stop enjoying it for a bit.

This was a pretty decent sci-fi movie, which wasn't too heavy on the sci-fi part. Which was good, I thought. It focused more on the humanity of the characters (well, mostly just Ethan Hawke's) and on broader things like natural selection and genetic modification. The not-so-good part about the film for me was some of the dialogue and parts of the story. Just a bit too conventional and/or cheesy. Still, it's worth a watch.

Although quite entertaining this film didn't do quite enough of any one thing to inspire. Well acted, but Minority Report is better, Solaris is better etc etc

Gattaca is a beautiful movie. Ethan Hawke plays a less-than-perfect man in a perfect world. He only wants one thing and it is beyond his grasp. Gattaca tells the story of one man who will stop at nothing to see his dream to fruition. The acting across the board is amazing. The setting is totally awesome. I love the 1950's futuristic setting. There is even a callback to the fact that they lived through our shitty present but chose to go back to the 1950's aesthetic.

Its definitely an intriguing movie. Ethan Hawke, Jude Law, and Uma Thurman are superb with great chemistry. The writing has a lapse or two in places but not not enough to be distracting. In fact the directing and cinematography are more than enough to make up for any shortcoming in the script. The art direction was very refreshing with its lack of CGI and sets that didn't offer more than what was needed. All in all its a very taut drama contained inside a fascinating sci-fi setting.
