NO SPOILERS... This is a more subtle, futuristic look at society than, say, Logan's Run or Brave New World. It presents a world where everyone is categorized precisely and all information about them known from birth. Constant checks are made to control people's movement and activities. The chief protagonist tells us that he 'is not who he is' and shows us how the deception is achieved. The factor which threatens the fulfilment of his dream is not of his making and nothing to do with him. It is only the prejudice of those in charge which may blow his cover. There are several twists which keep the viewer alert and enthralled. I bought the dvd because I had seen part of the film on TV and wanted it all.
This is probably one of my favourite scifi films ever, and I daresay one of the greatest examples of how glorious this genre can be if done well. Gattaca follows the story of Vincent, a man who has spent his whole life wanting to be someone else. Except, in the high-tech world he lives in, his life has already been pretty much mapped out. According to a simple blood test, he won't live past 30, and will most likely never achieve anything that the 99% of modern superbreed humans of his age will. Would that stop you from trying to reach the stars? This is a must-see for anyone, and definitely a worthy addition to any decent DVD collection.
