'Gattaca' is a chilling exploration of eugenics. I liked it very much, but there are a few things about it that get under my skin. Absolute genetic determinism (being able to predict the day on which an individual will die of cardiac arrest) completely ignores the influence of one's environment. If I were born with a genetic predisposition to heart problems, whether or not I actually eventually suffer from them depends on how I live. Otherwise, the movie is excellent, with a solid plot and great acting.

I agree completely and am bothered by the fact that so few decent SciFi films exist. I was actually thinking of the remake of 'Solaris' (with George Clooney) - I thought it was very well done.
