Gattaca(1997)

7.6/10

S-Tier

S-Tier Sony 4K. Ethan Hawke in a near-future genetic discrimination story. The sterile production design works with the 4K transfer.

A-Tier

The 2018 Sony 4K is the cheaper way in but the 2023 Steelbook is the better disc, adding the Dolby Vision the original is missing and bumping bitrate onto a BD-100. Both pull from the same restoration. Reference-level video and the Atmos remix is the standout, especially what it does with Goldsmith's score. Die Hard on a plane with Harrison Ford running it. The floating-head slipcover gets ribbed in the comments but most people are buying for the line read.
