Gattaca
As one of the last "natural" beings born into a genetically engineered world, Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke) has none of the "pre-ordered" DNA that will guarantee him success. Desperate to realize his dream of exploring space, Vincent assumes the identity of a genetically superior athlete (Jude Law). Avoiding detection using the athlete's genetic markers, Vincent becomes a rising star at Gattaca Aerospace, attracting the attention of a stunning co-worker (Uma Thurman). But when a flight director is brutally murdered, a clue left at the crime scene threatens to shatter Vincent's plans in this Special Edition of the riveting sci-fi classic.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's right up there with Star Wars, Platoon, Goodfellas etc. I came to the realization years ago that I can't choose a single movie to be my favorite. So many are amazing. Gattaca is truly one of them. It's plot is set in the not too distant future. It could happen. It is a story about society and overcoming adversity to achieve your dream. Highly recommended.A Good Sci Fi Watch - TheDandyist
This well acted, well written sc-fi thriller is an excellent addition to any sci-fi lovers collection. Heavily reminscent of Orwell's '1984', the movie tells the tale of a genetically flawed man in a genetically perfect world- and his struggles to overcome his challenges and to fulfill his lifelong dream - of proving everyone wrong. And he does. While dark in parts, this film will leave you wanting more.Wow! - AceHigh
This movie really surprised me, perhaps because I had never heard of it until recently (2008). If you are a fan of sci-fi, this one is a must see. It has a great cast, solid acting and a brilliant, original story which is very well thought out. I definately found myself on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next...
(Another under-rated sci fi movie I only recently saw is IMPOSTOR, another must see)
