For the record, I think Battlestar Galactica is a great series. Wish I had cable to watch it.

But really, I love a good Sci-fi and I am seeing 5 star reviews for Gattaca on Amazon. While I am certain the story will entertain me, how is it visually? I mean, I expect it to look great on blu-ray, but are special effects fanstastic too?

Yes, I am looking at the on-line review.

Basically, what other movies is it comparable to? Is it "must own" material?

Gattaca is not your everyday Sci-fi movie. It IS a very good movie, but don't expect lots of special effects, space shots, ect.....It is largely a drama movie with a Sci-Fi backing......It is also a "slower" movie, but is one of my "Highly Recommended".
