Gattaca is a science fiction film that constantly keeps you thinking. There are some good role models in it, definately, because one character sets out to defy the odds and has lots of determination to achieve his goals. Some concerns are sex, violence, and language. As for sex, there is some kissing and a scene of a couple in bed. For violence, there are images of a very badly beaten man and parts of the gruesome crime are shown. Even some of the strongest stomachs may find these few but brief scenes hard to sit though. The language is mostly s***, but there are 2 uses of the "F" word, where you least expect it. There is some smoking and drinking, but it's mostly socially, which shouldn't be a problem. While there are great performances by the cast, the movie is so-so, but definately worth watching if you like thought-provoking, sci-fi movies, this is for you.
