Movie Description
In the 21st century, genetic engineering makes possible the creation of biologically superior human specimens ("valids"), who then grow to positions of power and prestige. Would-be astronaut Vincent (Ethan Hawke) born the old-fashioned way, can only hope for a janitorial position at the elite Gattaca Corporation--until he buys the blood, urine, and identity of a perfect but paralyzed athlete. But a murder in the company's ranks attracts the attention of a detective who threatens to sniff Vincent out.

    Did you ever read the book "Brave New World"?
    This movie depicts a bit about the movie. Each person genetically chosen and their life determined before they are even born. A little far fetched perhaps or is it?

    Great movie! Great cast! The best part is that everything is underplayed. We enjoy Science Fiction and this is Science Fiction at its best. The direction is remarkable in it precise depiction of a "not to distant future" and its affect on the people of that time. Classes of people are created judged be their genetic makeup rather than any other reason.
