I didn't care enough about Hawke's character to ignore a big problem in the story's logic: if this future has such incredible biotechnology, why can't Law just get his damaged body parts fixed?
One of first Hollywood films about the effects of genetic engineering on human conduct, Andrew Niccol's directing debut is an intelligent and timely sci-fi that, despite some illogical plot contrivances, is emotionally engaging almost up to the end.
Designer babies rule dystopia in stylish SF thriller filled with recycled plot devices.
It's far too serious to be taken seriously.
At a time when we read about cloned sheep and tomatoes crossed with fish, the science in Gattaca is theoretically possible.
An impressively fine-tuned first feature from Andrew Niccol.
has enough suspense and pacing to stand as a thriller, but more than enough philosophical and moral questions to make it intellectually stimulating
It predicts the way the world would change in 2001--and how our films would reflect that change.
Ripe for reappraisal...the storytelling integrity and thoughtful themes of a good novel.
The sleek, handsome look makes the most of a limited budget to create the cold, emotionless surface of a world where everyone lives in dire fear of someone finding out their own private secret.
A modern sci-fi classic comes home to high-def in a gorgeous new transfer.
As sci-fi films go, Gattaca goes well beyond the usual by offering a work of real depth. And yes, it looks superb in Blu-ray.
This stately, stunningly beautiful picture evokes a future in which present-day prejudices and neuroses have been taken to new, insidious scientifically rationalized heights.
Intelligent and suspenseful.
Andrew Niccol signe avec Gattaca une %u0153uvre de science-fiction dont l'intelligence n'a d'égal que son raffinement exceptionnel sur le plan esthétique et narratif.
Chilly, elegant, and a little bloodless.
One of my favorite sci-fi films of recent years.
A cautionary tale of the dangers of unchecked technology, Gattaca would have benefited from a more assured directing hand.
There's a window on a possible future, a warning about the wages of sin, and enough beauty to make this a lasting classic of modern science fiction.
O interessante conceito se dilui em uma trama policial óbvia.
It's not the meek who have inherited the Earth, but genetic freaks....this visionary science-fiction drama is a marvel of futuristic art and costume design on a spare budget.
A well-directed, visually stunning morally complex tale. There is no gene for a good movie.
Despite its flaws, this is still a fascinating story, and adequate performances by Hawke, Law, and Uma Thurman.
