Gattaca - The Best Movie You Never Saw

Absolutely love this film, such a beautiful score. It's aged well. Glad Hawke takes pride in it's creation all these years later

I just rewatched it. I was curious to know if it was still holding up 25 years after I first saw it. It absolutely does. The acting is great and give it 25 years or so and I'm sure we'll have to deal with the same issues, namely eugenics and the discrimination that can ensue, again. That movie stayed with me throughout the years just like 1984 did. Highly recommended!

Yes, GATTACA is a stunningly beautiful film. For me, the love story really is between Jerome and Vincent.

Agree 100% I need to re-watched it again

And to think it was the director's first film...

Oh man I love this movie. This truly was the best movie I never saw.

I saw it when it came out. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this video. This is a top three favorite movie of mine. It was released on 4k blu-ray recently (9 months ago?); it looks & sounds the best it ever has. I now own the DVD, Blu-ray & 4k Blu-ray version of this movie. 😝😁

The best movie you never saw

The non-diegetic synthetic soundtrack combined with the splashing sounds of Anton struggling in the water is a very symbolic part of the movie. It is coupled with Vincent’s reveal that he never left anything for the swim back.

I saw this in my biology class and it was cool

For anyone who wants their baby to be blond, blue-eyed and intelligent, ever heard of Jeffrey Dahmer? He was blond, blue-eyed and VERY intelligent which is how he was able to elude the authorities for so long.

I don't remember what grade but I was lucky enough to have a teacher that showed us this movie one day. One of my favorites to this day.

In my top 10 movies of all time, #1 for soundtrack! Exquisite set and costume design, casting and cinematography/lighting😍

Most human have no taste. That is why most people havent watched it

This movie is deep on so many levels. It is the Quintessential Film in regard to pushing a human to the extreme on both sides. Vincent was told the only way he could get inside a space shuttle is if it was cleaning it… his father was right and very very wrong. His boss didn’t have a violent bone in his body but killed when necessary for the mission. This movie is among my top 5 favorite of all time and I say this with zero hyperbole. If the climax was anything other than swimming I think it’d be up there with the simpletons but I’m glad it’s not. They weren’t the intended audience.

I really enjoy reading the comments.

It really sucks that we've had major, significant movies, warn us about all kinds of dystopias for 30-40 years now, and people just never internalized and thought about any of them.

These were, and are, warnings for us, and noone is doing anything to prevent them, because the global discussion around improving things never actually touches on the important things.
That discussion has become real reality tv instead, and that really sucks.

I was a teen when this movie came out. I absolutely loved it. It has always been one of my favorites. It was ahead of its time. I remember thinking that this seemed so far in the future that it couldnt happen. How wrong i was. Now i think it would win an oscar for sure. It has so much relevance and is so beautiful.

I saw it when it first came out. So change the title 😅

This movie hits home with me , I was very lucky as a young man , wasn't born with any deficiency, but sadly my brother was , we are twins , he had crossed eyes , bad eye sight , weak bones , skin allergy , weak lungs , he had everything going against him , but he never let that affect him , when he see me do something he would too , he pushed himself so much that other than his crossed eyes nothing is noticeable , he is build like a tank , high IQ , unbelievable stamina , super fast when it comes to sprinting , brilliant artist. I am truly blessed , if you are reading this and ever feel you are weak or are not worth , please donot think that what lies beneath you is pure talent , all it requires is patience and effort.Have a good day.

One of my favorite movies for sure!

I saw it in my sophmore biology class and I think everyone else slept through it and I was like "guys this film is....11/10"

Jude Law's performance was also great. This movie is beautiful, smart and all around perfect. No modern movie can match this

I became an airplane mechanic because of this movie. All my life I wanted to go to space but I'm not the smartest I even got left back a grade and took learning disabled classes. But I got into the aviation industry (took me 3 times to get my A&P mech license) and I'm trying to break into space tourism (Space X, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin) Afterall part of being an aviation mechanic is test flights. Every day I feel like an imposter I just hope no one finds out I'm not smart I just don't give up.

But i did see it

One of my favourite movie of all time

My favorite movie

Amazing story writing, directing, character development, casting, score, you name it. A movie that makes you think after it's over is the best trait of a great movie

Fantastic film: definitely in my top 5. The music is beautiful too.

I had to recently watch this movie in my ENG 101 class in college. I quite enjoyed it, it's a great film. I watched it for the first time in 2024. Considering it came out in 97 it looked great, was shot really well, and the soundtrack was awesome. It aged really well, I didn't even think about it as a 30 year old film. If it came out today it would still be great.

If this movie came out today i think it would be a shoe in for beat picture. It blows everything thats been made in the last decade out of the water.

The chiastic structure of Gattaca makes it, IMHO, one of only a few perfect movies.
The Godfather, Gandhi, Gattaca, and The Way Back.

One of my favorite movies as well, It really stands the test of time

One of my top 5 of all time

Yes! Totally underrated!
My hs physics teacher showed it to my class a decade ago and I make a point to rewatching every few years. The final swim of chicken vs Anton is one of the most inspiring scenes I’ve ever seen!

My favorite film of all time

This movie just ages like fine wine. It's commentary on science and capitalism is peak

Top 100 movies of all time

I've been a huge fan of this movie since I saw it in early 2000s

I just watched this. Wow. What a trip. Great film!

I managed to save this one for 27 years, amidst a sea of mediocre crap.

Can you imagine? It’s like finding a 1978 Lemmon Quaalude in 2024

The feel of this movie reminds me of Ex Machina. Both movies are engaged in myth-making - exploring human nature through the art of story telling.

Aw, I miss Ernest Borgnine

Your wrong. I did watch that movie.

This was the first movie that I ever cried over. It's such a powerful film for anyone that didn't fit in in the '90s and had to struggle through sheer will to survive. I still can't watch it without crying.

This movie hits too close to the bone for me: I grew up being told I was going to be small and I never believed them. I never will

This is one of my top 5 movies of all time. I only came across it on Amazon a few years ago. The story, the music; wow.

Possibly one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies ever made. It's also timelessly designed, having that alternate-reality film-noir look. Like Dark City.

It starts and ends with a theme, sticks to it, and shows instead of telling the pains Vincent went through to prove his worth. And the best part is he kept it secret, so he was just doing it for himself. He didn't need to prove it to anybody else. He went through hell and back to go to the stars because he wanted to do it and wouldn't accept that it wasn't possible. There's no genetic marker for will power.
