Gattaca
Superior, intelligent science-fiction drama, starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman
In a world where genetically engineered babies are the new elite, babies born naturally are considered 'in-valid' and deemed second-class. Despite being one of the flawed group, Vincent Freeman (Hawke) dreams of going into space with the Gattaca Corps space-navigation programme. He knows his DNA samples will never make the grade so takes on the identity of another man - paralysed swimmer Jerome Morrow (Law). Freeman's passage into the upper echelons of society is smooth, until a murder throws a spanner into the works.
An underrated sci-fi thriller which, although hardly taxing, is intriguing nonetheless, and a welcome break from the standard fare of interstellar space ...
Very convincing!
Great subject matter and there's a twist or two in this cautionary tale.
Not overly into Sci-Fi but this one's cool. Good cast, acting and direction holds your attention. The three leads; Hawke, Thurman and Law are excellent.
