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.

 Excellent

An excellent film, with great performances all round and a wonderful score by Michael Nyman. Good DVD, too, with some nice extras that make it worth upgrading - in addition to the deleted scenes and featurettes from the earlier release, this Special Edition includes two new featurettes entitled "Welcome to Gattaca" and "Do Not Alter?", running 21 and 14 minutes respectively. Good picture quality, too - looks great when upscaled.

 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

For any Sci-Fi fan, this is a must.

 The perfect example of an exceptional sci fi film

This is a fantastic film. With a fairly cohesive storyline, gattaca is must see for all those science fiction drama fans.
