22 years after release and this is my first viewing, but surely not my last. Gattaca is an iconic classic. One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Too many futuristic movies fall prey to quickly dated special effects, obsolete technology or such dramatic changes in the social fabric that they are almost immediately out of touch with the course of history. Gattaca still stands tall and the social commentary is as relevant today as it was 22 years ago. Those cars tho...

A genetically inferior man (Ethan Hawke) assumes the identity of a superior one (Jude Law) in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.With all due respect to "The Matrix", this may be the key science fiction story of the 1990s. It has enough basis in reality to be a good story, but still a big enough divergence to make us think. We are moving closer and closer to "designer babies". Are we going to create anew caste system? Is it morally acceptable to do so? This is also a story of potential. One character says potential cannot be exceeded. But is he right? We also see potential is no guarantee. Identity is not destiny -- one stray bullet and the promise of the future can be shattered. Ho much of the world can humanity control, and how much is impossible to plan?

It was wonderful this is very amazing movie and I do wanna watch it over and over again, you can never guess what's coming up next the story was perfect I enjoyed that. I can suggest others to watch this true piece of art. & by the way I should add the actors and actress were wonderful in their roles. I prefer to say the most amazing part of the movie was the last 5 minutes of it. but I should add, one of the most beautiful dialogs of the movie that impressed me was this one " they used to sy that a child conceived in love has a greater chance of happiness".
