"Gattaca" is the perfect example of how a very good movie can be made without spending tons of money producing it. All the emphasis is placed on the story, a very good story I might add,  rather than dazzling special effects and inner ear damaging surround sound. Hollywood should take some lessons from this film and give the public more fare that uplifts and inspires rather than the apocalyptic doom and gloom they keep pushing on us. I try to rent movies on blu ray before I buy them to see if they are worth the additional cost, which is what I did here.  The Blockbuster copy I rented, was excellent, has a lot more zip and sparkle than the dvd version that I own.  The Amazon price is right and I will be buying the blu ray version.
