A review for Gattaca

This movie is set in a non too distant future where people genetically engineered. However not everyone is engineered and there are a handful of people who are conceived through natural  means. Our main character is named Vincent and he belongs to this group of "inferior people" as the other group of people call them. In the future there is no prejudice against race, religion, or skin tone. There is prejudice against peoples gene, and they segregate the people who are no genetically engineered who are called invalids from the people who are engineered who are called valids. The movie states that the whole point to the method of genetically engineering someone was to make sure that they would not have a chance to develop diseases like cancer or other harmful diseases.  However this method took a sort of greedy turn and people started engineering the way their kids would look and how their characteristics in life would be like. So this was bad idea: it caused strife mean, this was a bad movie in my opinion, but the plot was interesting.
