10 Massively Underrated Movies From The 1990s

Original sci-fi movies are a rare thing these days, and when we do get them, there's a high chance they'll bomb - see Ad Astra, Midnight Special, and Captive State.

This was exactly what happened to 1997's Gattaca, which only recouped a third of its $36 million production budget. Nobody went to see it at the time, but thankfully, over the last two decades, admiration for the film has continued to grow.

That said, it still isn't as widely-known as it deserves to be, so go and watch it people!

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman lead this heady sci-fi flick, which was produced by Danny DeVito, of all people. Hawke's character is Vincent Freeman, a man who lives in a futuristic society where children are created via genetic manipulation. These children are considered "valids", while those who are conceived naturally are thought of as inferior, and are forced into mundane jobs.

It's a fascinating movie that explores some big topics through a sci-fi lens, supported by one of the best performances of Hawke's career - and capped off with an ending that will stick with you for a long, long time.
