As one of the last "natural" beings born into a genetically engineered world, Vincent Freeman has none of the 'pre-ordered' DNA that will guarantee him success. Desperate to realize his dream of exploring space, Vincent assumes the identity of a genetically superior athlete. Avoiding detection using the athlete's genetic markers, Vincent becomes a rising star at Gattaca Aerospace, attracting the attention of a beautiful co-worker. When a flight director is brutally murdered, a clue left at the crime scene threatens to shatter Vincent's plans.

Enjoyable submitted by aschling on March 15, 2010, 6:08pm I had to watch this movie for school, and I'm glad I did. The whole concept was interesting and disturbing. The things that Vincent has to do in order to accomplish his dream without being a "Valid" are extreme. Although most of the people believe in the valid and in-valid system, there was a pleasant surprise. I don't know what I was expecting the end to be but part of it surprised me, in a good way. I don't want to give anything away so you will have to watch it to find out!

Awesome submitted by cowmooflage on July 25, 2014, 8:38am Love this movie. Embedded with great commentary about human cloning and utopian society, this movie is both exciting and deep.

what does Gattaca mean? submitted by pmysore on August 1, 2022, 8:10am The title is based on the letters Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, and Cytosine, the four nucleobases of DNA. The film explores genetic manipulation, by advocating for the genetic improvement of the human species through selective reproduction. classic science fiction movie of the late nineties
