- Welcome to Gattaca
Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is an outsider, a natural birth or "In-valid", living in a world in which "designer people"- forged in test tubes- rule society.
Determined to break out of his imperfect genetic destiny and fulfil his dreams, Vincent meets Jerome (Jude Law), a "Valid" willing to sell his prime genetic material for cash.
Using Jerome's blood, urine, skin and hair samples, Vincent is able to forge a new identity and pursue his goal of a mission to space with the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation, and enjoy a blossoming romance with Irene (Uma Thurman), another "Valid". However a week before his flight, a Gattaca mission director is brutally murdered and Vincent finds himself pursued by a relentless investigator (Alan Arkin) threatening to expose his counterfeit life and reveal him as "In-valid", ending his dreams forever.

Does this special edition contain anything new?

Gattaca is a marvellous movie. It has an interesting premise and is beautiful to behold, so make sure you have an edition in your collection. The film itself deserves the full 5 stars.
The reason for the middling star rating is this: My edition is so old it's in a jewel case but has deleted scenes a substance test outtake and a featurette. So given the list of special features, I am dubious about whether this newly released special edition actually offers anything, well, new or special. Can anyone out there advise before I spend my hard-earned on something which is less than special and is more the product of a marketing department being a bit naughty?
One of my first DVD's

Tempting to buy this special edition !!
Might treat myself!
For any Sci-Fi fan, this is a must.
Makes you realise what lengths some people will go to, to get what they want
Great
