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.
"Hello, Lamar. I just wanted to congratulate you. You did it: you created a world without murder. And all you had to do was kill someone to do it."
"Minority Report"
god damn it.
god. damn it.
the villain is always doing so well until he runs his mouth and mentions that one secret detail to the central character that said character didn't even mention before
I was not high when I watched this movie at the movie theatre I worked at the day before it was released really late at night but while I was watching the movie, my (also not-high) mother got so worried that I wasn’t home (even though she knew I was going to this movie and that it was going to go very late and that I was being driven home by a co-worker) that she drove to the theatre and waited in the parking lot for like an hour at 1am until I came out. Needless to say I looked VERY cool in front of all the people I worked with.
Ein toller Science Fiction-Thriller, an dem aufgrund einiger CGI-Effekte der Zahn der Zeit nagt. Wobei es zugegebermaßen auch nur ein paar wenige schwache Effekte sind, die man verschmerzen muss. Die Story um die drei Precogs ist ziemlich weit hergeholt. Der Rest um die Zukunfttheorien macht da schon mehr Sinn.
In a time where the police can predict a crime before it happens. A cop named John Anderton, is falsely accused of killing a man in the future. And must fight to clear his name. Minority Report was a very groundbreaking film in the sci fi genre. The story Steven Spielberg was able to tell keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire runtime of the film. There’s so much to appreciate, from the story, to the acting, to even the score that John Williams was able to create. Overall I think this is an amazing film that definitely keeps you guessing!
Day 2 of watching Minority Report in English Class:
Okay, i guess Tom Cruise ISN'T a time cop. He's a future-stopping cop.
Also, so far he's been sexually harassed by two separate women. One of them did it while he was drugged.
I'll leave you with that.
Day 1 of watching Minority Report in English Class:
"so this week in English, because we finished 1984... WE'RE GONNA WATCH TOM CRUISE AS A TIME COP!!!"
FUCK YEAH!!!
*to ducktales theme*
TIME COPS!!! WOO-OOO
