Cyberpunk done right. Done with class and depth. Gattaca manages to encapsulate a sense of pride, dignity and the apogee of human potential through and architectural and cultural lens, which quietly nods to a Neo Noir Roma.
You have to admire the unique style
Of the film’s production sets and filters. It’s an understatedly elegant aesthetic that lies in stark contrast to the dirty, consumerist shit-holes of the usual cyberpunk.
Gattaca is an exceptionally pristine and beautiful film. I think that the film's aesthetic and distinct look is only bolstered by the sublime work of Michael Nyman, and although many people are impartial to the sepia filter, I find it enhances the film's mood.

The guy even got the girl in the end, if my memory serves. The Truman Show from the same writer/director is a masterpiece, so I gave this one a second chance. Maybe The Truman Show director Peter Weir should be thanked for it being so great, who knows...
