Austin Chronicle
Niccol's futuristic fable is a gorgeous construct, from its cast on down to the brilliant, clinical nature of the set design that reflects a future in which even a particle of saliva can be one's undoing. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
Andrew Niccol wrote and directed this intelligent and suspenseful science-fiction drama featuring strong performances by Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Alan Arkin, and Gore Vidal. - 70
Salon
Implausible in countless ways and wooden for long stretches, Gattaca at least never collapses into a special-effects barrage or erupts in long, choreographed explosions; it sticks carefully to its pristine vision. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Sets, music, and imagery are rigorously controlled and undeniably stunning, but after a while flaws creep into the plot's double helix. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Designer babies rule dystopia in stylish SF thriller filled with recycled plot devices. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Although that's enough plot for two movies, Niccol proceeds to clog up his meticulously mounted story with a murder and a romance (hence Uma Thurman), allowing needless intrigue to distract from his ideas. - 60
The New Yorker
Niccol's work is artful but self-important and thin.
