Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

leogary The film has touched me like no other film has ever done, and I never fail to be deeply moved every SINGLE time I watch it. Ethan Hawk, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and the others, under the guidance of the director, having this great fiction so wonderfully rendered, I'm simply lost for words to express how deeply I LOVE this movie. A man, with all its flaws, against all those huge adversity and ill fate, strives to reach his dream, without any reservation. I believe every one shares some of that desperate spirit of Vincent. As for me, I'm Vincent.

sergelamarche Getting old but still works. The future has caught up and went further. Designer babies are not available yet but the rejection of babies is. Lots of the ethical problems are the same as racism. I guess that is also actual.

mrlewisjr Gattaca is a smart and stimulating science fiction film that succeeds on the basis of its story rather than reliance on special effects. The theme in this film revolves around one man's fight to overcome a very unique kind of discrimination. In the 'near future' world of Gattaca, there is no glass ceiling. The ceiling of the future, though invisible, is known to everyone. It is an individual's genetic code. As aptly stated in the film, this future society has "discrimination down to a science". In Gattaca, Ethan Hawke, plays Vincent Freeman a young stargazer aspiring to man a flight to Titan, one of the moons of Jupiter. The problem is that space travel is reserved for the genetically engineered elite and Vincent is a 'natural born' individual with myopia and a heart condition. All that natural birth individuals can hope for in the world of Gattaca is jobs involving menial labor.Vincent is not one to give up on his dreams. With the help of a genetic broker, Vincent has a plan to assume the identity of Jerome Morrow, played by Jude Law, who is a genetically engineered athlete who was paralyzed in an accident outside of the country. Much of the plot involves Vincent's attempts to assume the identity of Jerome and avoid having his true identity discovered, so that he can accomplish his goal of interstellar travel. The opening scenes of the movie subtly capture the viewer's attention as we see nail clippings and hair follicles fall to the floor with thundering reverberations. This serves to prime the audience for the weighty role these biological identifiers will play in the remainder of the movie. This film is full of smart and artful story telling. The director makes skillful use of montages to fill in substantial details about the character's background and struggles without stalling the forward progression and steady pace of the story. The mix of internal and external conflict that Vincent goes through, pulls the viewer in and makes his character so engaging.In addition to the struggle to overcome genetic discrimination this film also has thematic elements showing the power of the human spirit and the bravery those willing to challenge the social norms that attempt to keep individuals pigeonholed in certain roles. This movie has such an interesting mix of science fiction, suspense, noir, and inspiration. I view it as a must-see movie. Enjoy!

wavemotion-75039 This is not just sci-fi. I still remember my emotions while watching this masterpiece...so it's not just good, but there is a deep meaning of life. If the others tell you that you are not good enough, don't listen to them! Nobody is stupid, nobody is weak. With determination you can overcome every problem. If you are young, it's not too late to watch it :)
