One thing I like about Minority Report is how it drops you right into the midst of its creative premise. There’s no introductory narration, and there’s little unnecessary exposition. The film doesn’t treat the audience like they’re a bunch of idiots, and I really appreciate that.
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.

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.
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.
A top movie in the Sci-Fi genre bringing tons of creativity and thought provoking ideas. Tom Cruise delivers, per usual, an all out top performance directed and edited perfectly for the viewers pleasure.
"If the country knew ––"
"–– The system would collapse."
an underappreciated moment: the little wave that Farrell gives when his car shows up during the chase
(Twentieth or so viewing? No change in rating.)
If you're one of those people who think that Spielberg is a master craftsman without an ounce of restraint, and maybe the movies are better for it, then this is your ur-text.
