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…
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.
It's been 16 years since I first saw Minority Report, so I guess it's no surprise that the CGI has aged some. It's also apparent how similar it feels to A.I., which was released the year before. Some of the stunt work also seems a little...safe? ...or restrained? This is most notable during the scene where Cruise's character escapes by hitching a ride on a cop's jet pack with the cop still in it. Everyone in these packs is clearly suspended by wires, and the action is slow and clunky.
The movie itself is entertaining, and (as I remember) it was another Spielberg innovation in special effects and design. It's also impressive how much the movie's vision of the future…
Tom booze cruise goes full huckleberry sawyer n steals the bald lady who can see the future but wait it’s not true she can’t really see the future but sometimes she can we have choices guys!
Free will by rush
Spielberg's touch is certainly felt in this film.
A classic sci-fi dilemma of if you knew the future would you change it, specifically from the perspective of the classic freedom vs security debate.
My biggest problem is the inconsistent tone, some of it was goofy and other parts dark and gritty.
Some good cinematography, although I don't like the stylized lighting.
If you’re gonna say Farrell’s character is from Dublin anyway, just let him be Irish.
I have completely forgotten how much fun this actually is. It’s not the greatest Spielberg movie of course but it is still a pretty well made and interesting movie. Tom Cruise is very Tom Cruise and trying hard like always. There are also a couple of really great moments like when he needs to swap eyes is a really exciting scene. Yeah.... it’s prettyyyyyy good
Brilliant, formally fascinating and wildly compelling resituation of a classic film noir question — are killers innately killers — into its logical sci-fi context, interrogating the idea not only as a morality issue, but also as a temporal, existentialist one. Until it transforms into a significantly less interesting sci-fi thriller whose noir trappings are mostly a facade. Spielberg still MVP.
- complex but interesting story line that makes you think. Unexpected twist at the end
- dim lighting throughout the movie
- not really an action movie
Muito bom efeitos e atuações, só o roteiro que achei um pouco preguiçoso. Muitas. Tendências de tecnologia veem daí
Wow, Spielberg made a great DePalma movie. Holds up well considering I just got busted before a botched bong hit transplant where I kill the surgeon.
