In a future not so far away, is a world where two parents can choose how their child will become through gene therapy. Vincent Freemen was born without gene therapy and because he has a high chance of many disabilities, he becomes an outcast. While his younger brother Anton goes on to greater and better things that he was made to have from even before birth. Though Vincent is supposedly weak, he has one dream, to go to the best space exploration station Gattaca and go to outer space and the great beyond. This story is about how Vincent achieves his dream, and how he overcomes the doubts that society and his brother have put into his mind.
This wonderful movie is beautifully made and teaches that gene therapy cannot guarantee perfection. I love how the character Vincent tells from his point of view how he feels about the society he lives in and he teaches the people around that he can be capable of extraordinary things. This movie will have you quoting it forever.
This movie is rated PG-13 for vulgar language, some brief violence, and sexuality so I would say this movie would not be appropriate for children. But it is a great movie for young adults to see.
High school students should definitely try and see this because they are now currently learning about biotechnology including gene therapy in school.
