  • Sci-Friday (Gattaca)

    Blakemore Planetarium at the Museum of the Southwest 1800 W Indiana Ave, Midland, TX, United States

    Join us for Sci-Friday in September featuring Gattaca, the sci-fi thriller starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law! Vincent Freeman has always fantasized about traveling into outer space, but is grounded by his status as a genetically inferior in-valid. He decides to fight his fate by purchasing the genes of Jerome Morrow, a laboratory-engineered valid. He assumes Jerome's DNA identity and joins the Gattaca space program, where he falls in love with Irene. An investigation into the death of a Gattaca officer complicates Vincent's plans. Doors open at 6:30pm and the movie begins at 7:00pm. Refreshments are provided. Cost: $10 for non-members and FREE for Museum members
