Steven Spielberg's been so good for so long we take him for granted. This one more than holds up as one of his very best -- and one of Cruise's best as well. I think might be his best performance.
Noir-November Challenge! Movie #51
All I want for Christmas is a "Sick Stick" great for family get togethers when someone is reaching for that last slice of pie or for clearing apt complex hallways of all those chatty cathy's blocking your way! An absolute must have to wrangle those unruly mobs gathered at stores this xmas season!
A truly remarkable sci-fi masterpiece! The mind blowing visuals are beyond stunning! Steven Spielberg released his inner "Kraken" and the crowd goes wild over the high tech gadgetry and adrenalin rush packed action scenes!
FYI.. Much of the futuristic gadgetry in the film has since been realized or is in the process of being development! If you can imagine it.. it can be…
Definitely amongst the most intelligent sci-fi thrillers to surface on the silver screen, Minority Report is an ingeniously envisioned, smartly written & cleverly narrated cinema from Steven Spielberg that presents the director in prime form, paints an endlessly fascinating portrait of the future & remains one of the most creative works of Spielberg's filmmaking career.
Set in Washington D.C. in the year 2054 where crime has been entirely eradicated thanks to an advanced system that's able to pre-determine any criminal activity, allowing the cops to arrest the perpetrators before they commit their crimes, Minority Report follows the Special Police Force's chief who one day finds himself accused of a future murder & tries to prevent it from happening.

loaded with Hitchcock references but especially to FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, and with more than just the umbrella gag. the chases have the same goofy relish, too (the jetpack hamburger gag here might as well be the old guy trying to cross the street during the car chase in CORRESPONDENT). Hitchcock's film urged the U.S. to enter the war a year before Pearl Harbor, Spielberg's warned of a society willing to give up a few civil rights for possibly illusory safety not even a year after 9/11.
Spielberg at his conceptualist best - rather fascinating to read contemporary reviews of the film, one wondering aloud if both this and AI would be a detour in the directors career or a permanent step forward. If his most recent work is any indication, it's a bit of both, deigning to combine the darker, critical side of his 00s work with the populist movements of his 80's heights. Yet I guess that's a bit unfortunate - we miss the sheer extent of Spielberg's examinations, the incredibly pessimistic view of the future (I would argue this is still on display in something like Ready Player One, but because of the combination, never to this extent), but most importantly - we get…
I love the idea of people being arrested before they commit a crime and I think the ideas were explored quite well whilst still giving the viewer some great action scenes and an intense pace. Sometimes the third act gets a little messy, but it never loses its edginess or grip and for that, I have no option but to highly recommend it, even after repeat viewings.
Filmi izlerken en çok kafamı kurcalayan şey, kişiler cinayetlerini gercekleştiremeden yakalanınca zanlı durumuna düşmeleri oldu. Suçun bir tanımı vardır ve işlenen suç hangi kapsamdaysa ona göre zanlı bedelini öder. Ama kahinlerin gelecekte olacağını öngördüğü cinayet için kişilerin cinayeti işlemese bile hapsedilmeleri bende kader kavramını düşündürdü. Kendimizden üst bir varlığın, hayatımızın ne yollardan geçip nerelere varacağını önceden bilmesine kader diyoruz. Peki üst akıl benim neleri seçeceğimi belirleyebiliyorsa özgür iradem nerede? Özgür iradem yoksa eğer neden yaptığım/yapabileceğim eylemlerden sorumlu tutuluyorum? Evet, eğer kişiler hapsedilmeseydi bu kadar dert etmeyecektim.
Im not sure when he started running in his films but it's good to see
it actually being used as a plot device! run run run
I was really surprised at how goofy this movie is, considering all the hype around it. Between jet-packs cooking burger patties, Colin Farrell palming his fist in frustration, and chasing runaway eyeballs, it's goofy.
Besides, these days all that hand-waving seems like such a cumbersome interface for their fancy computers.
Good thing the second half get's its shit together and shifts into a decent bit of twisty turny conspiracy.
Minority Report is pure adrenaline. Sleek, high-concept adrenaline. While A.I. may have been Spielberg's answer to Blade Runner, this film is a more natural spiritual companion. Philip K. Dick's short stories have provided great material for feature films, this one proving no exception in its heavily neo-noir based futurism. Predicated around themes of free will vs. intention, it raises intriguing quandaries in regards to the advanced, but heavily flawed set-up of its precognition based crime force algorithms. Such is a system that opens itself up to numerous inconsistencies and potential contradictions, or even if not flawed in and of itself, the faulty wiring of *human* operations - with its many logical leaps and prejudices - opens the system up to…
This movie was very thought Provoking in my experience. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton A cop in Washington DC who’s job it is to arrest those people who are about to commit a crime. He soon find out however that he is one of the people who are going to commit a crime as well. He goes through many challenges and tries to undo what is about to be done, hoping that he is “a minority report “. Overall it’s so well done film just not my cup of tea.
