Gattaca (1997)

[Movie 193 / Day 208]


Set in a future where genetically modified (valid) babies are the norm and naturally conceived (invalid) babies are seen and treated as second class citizens, Gattaca tells the story of one such invalid who cheats the system to realise his dreams and travel into space.

Extremely well acted, especially by Jude Law (who plays a crippled 'valid' who sells his DNA to Ethan Hawke's 'invalid') and Alan Arkin.

Sci-fi with a brain. It's brilliant.

My rating: 8.0 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.8 / 10
Running time: 106 mins
