About this title: New Zealand screenwriter Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show) made his feature directorial debut with this science fiction drama, set in a future when one's life is determined by genetic engineering rather than education or experience. The wealthy can choose the genetic makeup of their descendants. People are designed to fit into whatever role is decided before birth. But what happens when someone desires another way of life?

VHS Tape: Sony Pictures: 4/5/99: "Confidently conceived and brilliantly executed, Gattaca had a somewhat low profile release in 1997, but audiences and critics hailed the film's originality. It's since been recognized as one of the most intelligent science fiction films of the 1990s. Writer-director Andrew Niccol, the talented New Zealander who also wrote the acclaimed Jim Carrey vehicle The Truman Show, depicts a near-future society in which one's personal ... read more

"With the rapid growth of technology and materialism, it's hard to stop and see what's happening because, come on, with all the luxury and glamor it brings, we're just there to try enjoying the ride!
Movies like this, the idea of what the world will be like in the future... a more standard, structured, technologically superior society where no one is much more than a robot, unnaturally suppressing humanity is just something to stir the mind into realizing and understanding the present. The present paves the future.
It's a good movie, and the Ethan Hawke/Jude Law/ Uma Thurman classy combo is deadly, but if you want something even more in-depth to the thought... go read Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World.' That's sure to scare you!"
"Uma Thurman, how I love thee - however imperfect you may be. This movie seems only to become more relevant with age. As genetic engineering becomes more prevalent, one can always look back to the characters in this movie for morale guidance."
