    Real sci-fi

    A real sci-fi movie, which is rare. With a message about the capability of the human animal to adapt. A dystopian future where everything you are is summed up by your DNA. The human race is finally moving out into the solar system and you have to have perfect genes to go, which is a ridiculous standard. You want a real science fiction story, give this one a try

    An excellent HDR 4K conversion of a classic film.

    Gattaca was made using Super 35 mm film. So the 4K treatment here isn't as stunning as something that was recorded digitally or on 70 mm film. However, what they've done here is excellent and retains all the characteristics of film, boosting the contrast and colors, as well as being faithful to the director's vision.

    Great sci-fi film. Spoiler alert… it is a 25+ year old movie… as a bonus… Gore Vidal is the villain.

    I have not seen Gattaca in over 20 years. It used to be shown on HBO or Showtime when it was new back in the late 1990s. Perhaps it has been forgotten. After seeing it, I forgot how good it was. Much better than I remember. The movie takes place in a future where your DNA determines where you are placed in society. The main character is a imposer, using another's DNA to avoid discrimination and live out their dream of going to outer space. As expected, the 4K transfer looks good.

    Andrew Niccol's cautionary tale Gattaca imagines a bleak future where one's life is fated from birth, but the story never really puts the ethics of scientific progress to task or fully embraces the darkly bitter tragedy of its conceit. Nevertheless, thanks to the excellent performances, strong characters and gorgeous stage design, the sci-fi drama remains a beloved favorite after twenty years. Coming from a fresh remaster, the dystopian sci-fi vision worms its way to Ultra HD with a beautiful 4K HDR10 video and an excellent Dolby Atmos soundtrack, a genetically superior presentation over its HD brethren. Porting over the same set of supplements from its Blu-ray predecessor, the overall UHD package is recommended.

    Great Upgrade for An Underseen Classic

    Excellent transfer and very noticeable upgrade over the blu-ray. Lots of film grain, which is exactly as it should be. Sony continues to do justice to it's titles on this format. The movie's reputation itself precedes it: a smart, deliberate sci-fi noir. Can't go wrong on this one.

    ‘Gattaca’ is futuristic but not too “SCI-FI”. It’s definitely different and the pacing is slow/steady. The Blu-ray already looked fantastic. Colors on HDR are supposed to be more accurate (and they are). But if you already own (and like) the Blu-ray, I would wait to upgrade at a low price or sale. Not because it isn’t worth it (that’s your call), but I somewhat frequently have seen this release on sale. Steelbook is also offered, but you’ll have to check it out to see if you like the artwork and color (brown-toned).

    Intelligent science fiction

    Gattaca is a highly perceptive, intelligent science fiction film that may be destined for cult classic status. Its themes and messages still speak to us almost 25 years later and deserves its reputation among the science fiction classics of the 90s such as The Matrix, Dark City, The Thirteenth Floor and others.

    Excellent sci-fi cautionary tale of a sort of dystopian future where genetic engineering has been perfected and dominates society w/ elitist bend/influences, and very solid, worthwhile upgrade to 4K disc format.

    The Sci-Fi classic Gattaca has never looked better than on this new 4K restoration available at Best Buy. I stumbled upon it and bought it on impulse. I hadn’t seen the film since my adolescence. It’s a beautiful film, truly deserving of the new restoration. Look out for this one if you love Sci-Fi and drama films.

    Gattaca looks amazing on 4k. Amazing performances on all parts, definitely a slower paced movie but the message and theme of the movie is outstanding highly recommend to anyone who hasn't watched and enjoys sci-fi movies.

    Still on the Top in SCi-Fi category. Gattaca is one of those movies that are good examples how interesting and thought-provoking (and entertaining) a well-made sci-fi movie can be - without laser fights and explosions.......
