colin farrell's character introduces himself to tom cruise as "the twink from the Fed" #gayrights

watched half of it again cause gabe had to finish it and am logging it again because there’s no rules on this site. send the future cops my way, i don’t give a fuck!!!

wish i’d seen this in theaters because the moment of agatha screaming RUUUUUUN would’ve rocked my world as a 10 year old. “max von sydow” is the coolest name of any famous actor- unless you count uhhh Joe freaking Biden!!! aaaand post

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.

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.

A dystopic gumshoe thriller. Its vision of the future includes animated cereal boxes, customized advertisements, and a populace always aware of their own actions. Maybe the mystery is lacking in inventiveness, but Spielberg is at the height of trying everything and anything, and pulling it off with aplomb. Hitchcock is a key influence, of course, but Spielberg's peers of De Palma and Lucas have never felt so close in competition. As an aesthetic exercise, this is just an absurd flex.

Absolutely gorgeous. (Steven) Spielberg and John(ny) Williams breathe life and theater into a story that in any other director’s hands would’ve been interpreted colder than a ice cube! Much more playful than I remember, and so visually independent from all his other stuff. Spielberg is “good” as hell! With this and Catch me if You Can (film), 2002 is my hot contrarian take for Best Spielberg Year (per capita).

I like that there's a whole little side plot about how good Tom Cruise can run and how his son wants to learn to run like him.

pre-crime arresting me for pre-shoplifting at GAP: how’d those assorted tank tops work out?

me: *spits out blood* fuck you

It’s so funny that I just accepted 2002 at face value at the time. Possibly the ugliest year of human history and I just went to middle school in a Hot Topic graphic tee and listened to Thursday about it. You look at that year now and it’s practically begging you to throw up but we really lived like that. This is exactly the same as watching that smoothed out and colorized footage of the French snowball fight from the 19th century except that this time I remember being there.

the Free Will dystopia scfi novella and 50s conspiracy noir expertly woven into a pop action thriller. spielberg's gee whiz rendering of the future (jetpacks!!) lends itself well to bizarre comedy and inventive setpieces, but it's his visual sophistication when it comes to character (and the complexity of simple gestures/interactions) that makes this so thrilling―weird how so many modern blockbusters can't seem to grasp this.

Caught me off guard! An interesting premise, fun futuristic movie. A sci-fi must

Run, John, run

During the first precrime the murder takes place in the bedroom of a house in the suburbs. When Anderton thwarts the crime precrime agents enter by abseiling through, what appears to be, a large atrium. Such a feature is not present on these houses when viewed from the outside. The CG in the halo containment unit scene, with Tim Blake Nelson, has aged terribly

60/72

Good movie with some good plot twists and a really good story, but the ending was kinda meh. It was way to black and white if you know what I mean.

shout out colin ferrell, gotta be my favourite twink

LOVE IT.

I don't totally think this story is suited to an action packed blockbuster, but when it's this good I can't complain.

GRADE: A-

   It feels like every Spielberg movie from the early 2000’s is underrated or overlooked and Minority Report is a big example of that. Spielberg does an excellent job at world building this futuristic world. I actually think there’s more stories that can be told. This one that we got though is pretty great. It’s great from start to finish but I love the twists that we get. It always keeps me invested.

Still a good film. Cruise doesn't fully convince in the grief-stricken/tortured/addicted part of his role but by and large it all works well. The unsuprising influence of Philip K Dick/Bladerunner are clear, as are many more - gumshoe/film noir in general, and films like A Clockwork Orange also seem to be in the mix. The production design does an outstanding job of knitting it all together, and Spielberg masterly touch ensures it never drags across nearly 2 and a half hours running time.

was not a fan of the silver tint thing going on but still rocked

Best movie for excellently polished, lacquered, and engraved wooden balls. 😏

I forgot how good this one is. So twisty and fun.
