A classy science-fiction film that doesn't rely on little green men, bland space rogues, constant explosions, or inane babble about warp drives.
Gattaca has very stylish, trendy visuals which look sophisticated enough to be set in the future, yet close enough to our own time to look very real and authentic, with a comfortable moving plot that manages to focus on a good drama about an underdog/ugly duckling struggling in a hi-powered society.
The sciencey bit is convincing enough to be accepted, and the film seems genuinely fresh and compelling. Easily as seminal as 2001:A Space Odyssey. Anyone who says that this film is bad simply wouldnt know a good story if it came and sat on their nose
