Where to Watch Gattaca
Gattaca Ratings & Reviews
- Jakeys28 de diciembre de 2025This was mandatory high school viewing to learn about DNA, but don't hold that against it. It's a really good movie. I would assume Maya Hawke is a big fan of this one too, since it's the reason she exists.
- Manuel Frangis19 de febrero de 2025I just watched Gattaca, and it is fantastic. Easy 5 out of 5 stars for me. This is one of those movies that sticks with you long after it ends. It is a beautifully made, thought-provoking sci fi film that feels even more relevant today than when it was released. Every time I watch it, I notice something new, which makes it even more impressive. The story takes place in a future where genetic perfection determines everything, and society is completely divided between the genetically engineered elite and those born naturally. The concept alone is fascinating, and the way the film explores it is what makes it so powerful. Every scene is carefully crafted to build the world, and the attention to detail is incredible. The futuristic setting feels realistic, which makes the story even more compelling. There is a quiet intensity to every moment, and it never feels like a typical sci fi blockbuster. Instead, it is slow, thoughtful, and layered with deeper themes about identity, ambition, and human potential. The performances are outstanding. Ethan Hawke gives one of his best performances as a man fighting against a system that tells him he is not good enough. He plays the role with so much determination and quiet strength that you cannot help but root for him. Jude Law is also fantastic, adding depth to a character who could have been one dimensional in a lesser movie. He brings a level of emotion that adds complexity to his character, making his role even more impactful. Their dynamic is one of the best parts of the film, and the chemistry between them makes the story even more engaging. Uma Thurman is great as well, adding another layer to the story. She has a strong presence that fits perfectly with the film’s tone. Beyond the acting and the concept, what really makes Gattaca stand out is its style. The cinematography is sleek, the music is haunting, and the entire atmosphere feels timeless. It does not rely on big action scenes or flashy effects. Instead, it focuses on the characters, their struggles, and the moral questions the story raises. Every frame of the film is visually stunning, and the way the camera captures the world makes it feel both futuristic and grounded in reality. The use of colors, lighting, and minimalist set design adds to the feeling of a world that is controlled, structured, and cold, yet still strangely beautiful. One of the things that makes Gattaca so special is how well it balances emotion and philosophy. The film is not just about science or futuristic technology. It is about people, their struggles, and their desire to prove themselves in a world that tells them they are not enough. It asks important questions about free will, determinism, and what truly defines a person. The way it presents these ideas without ever feeling preachy is one of the reasons it stands out. It never forces an answer on the viewer. Instead, it leaves space for you to think about what it all means. This is a must-watch for any sci fi fan. It is smart, emotional, and visually stunning. It is fantastic in every way. Every time I revisit it, I appreciate it even more. It is rare to find a sci fi movie that is so deeply personal yet so thought-provoking at the same time. Gattaca is not just a great movie. It is a film that stays with you, making you think about it long after the credits roll.
- Nathaniel “KingBear” Reifenheiser4 de octubre de 2025I’m giving Gattaca a 4/5 (8/10), not because it isn’t great — but because it doesn’t feel endlessly rewatchable. It’s one of those films you see once, and it stays with you. You don’t need to keep revisiting it to get its message. Ethan Hawke plays his usual confident self, but the real surprise was Uma Thurman. She grounded the story, made the world believable, and gave the system’s flaws a human face. Jude Law’s Jerome had everything in his favor, but wanted nothing — a haunting reminder that privilege doesn’t always equal fulfillment. What hit me most is how it frames destiny vs fate, genetics vs choice. It’s a film about humanity, about wanting more than what’s written in your code. It made me cry, it made me hopeful, and it feels just as relevant in today’s conversations about mental health and identity as it does in discussions about science and ethics.
- Zbigniew Czachor4 de septiembre de 2025This movie is amazing! 🤩
- Kris23 de diciembre de 2025Gattaca is one of those films that injects into your soul! Classic film noir for a modern audience. A look at a dystopian future that leaves you questioning everything!
- Eric Baum10 de noviembre de 2025This movie gave me anxiety. It was ok. Good cast, good concept, but a bit slow and a bit hard to believe it was all possible.
- Curtis22 de septiembre de 2025I liked a lot about it. Might watch it again. Good cast, good story. My feeling about the scope is — it was pretty tight, and so was the cinematography. I often felt the camera was really close to the subject in a way that felt more like a TV show than a movie. Maybe it was meant to feel intimate, or invasive. My eyes read it as a budget constraint. I also found the goal of going to space a fine metaphor for potential, but an empty dream without imagery to support it. I guess I wish the last 10-20% of this narrative had not been earthbound. Or maybe I’d just have wanted to see some propaganda imagery about why it was so desirable to go on one of these infrequent, special space missions. The word here was without aspiration, and I did find that scarily relevant to our current situation.
- mhantzea14 de enero de 2025Not too exciting. A little overboard on the genetic testing
- SoranIsOn30 de octubre de 2024Ethan is solid, little slow, good take on knowing your potential is more than the sum of its parts.
