Set in the chillingly possible future of 2054, Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is arguably the most intelligently provocative sci-fi thriller since Blade Runner. Like Ridley Scott's "future noir" classic, Spielberg's gritty vision was freely adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick, with its central premise of "Precrime" law enforcement, totally reliant on three isolated human "precogs" capable (due to drug-related mutation) of envisioning murders before they're committed. As Precrime's confident captain, Tom Cruise preempts these killings like a true action hero, only to run for his life when he is himself implicated in one of the precogs' visions. Inspired by the brainstorming of expert futurists, Spielberg packs this paranoid chase with potential conspirators (Max Von Sydow, Colin Farrell), domestic tragedy, and a heartbreaking precog pawn (Samantha Morton), while Cruise's performance gains depth and substance with each passing scene. Making judicious use of astonishing special effects, Minority Report brilliantly extrapolates a future that's utterly convincing, and too close for comfort. --Jeff Shannon

Minority Report (2002) February 17, 2010
N. Anno (Indiana)
Based on the short story by popular sci-fi novelist Philip K. Dick, this intelligent--and rather ominous--vision of the future is one of Steven Spielberg's finest works, and manages to captivate and stimulate viewers for nearly two-and-a-half hours. The story, too, presents a long-thought-over theoretical conundrum regarding individual independence and self-government vs. fortune that is predestined by a higher power--the eternal battle between religion and evolutionary humanism. More faintly, however, this film probes the mental and technical processes by which criminals plan their crimes and law enforcement pursues the criminals. Shot with an over-exposed lens and a desaturated color palette, Minority Report grows more beautiful with each successive scene, and also entails magnificent special effects of various ultramodern technology and gadgetry (including the ingenious mechanical "spiders").
Dark Sci-fi for Cruise February 17, 2010
V. Leonelli
Unusual sci-fi departure for Cruise. A very original, interesting plot of mind readers saving society from murder. Sort of a play off Total Recall, but the script is strong. The cliched government idiocy rears its face as usual, and Farrell plays the smirky, hateable jerk to a T.
Nice twist of an ending, finishes strong. Really liked the futuristic panoramas and scenes that go in and out of future/past consciousness.

I don't like Cruise but this movie was just good. Suspenseful and action packed.
 Spielberg's Film Noir Masterpiece February 6, 2010

10 out of 14 found this review helpful
Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is one of his greatest films. It is a triumph of story and storytelling, a dark and futuristic film noir that is both wildly entertaining and satisfyingly thoughtful. Tom Cruise gives one of his very best performances to date as a "pre-crime" cop on the run. Roger Ebert named this the best film of 2002 and with good reason. Minority Report is essential viewing. I couldn't be more excited about its release on Blu-ray. Let's just pray we get the amazing image quality on this disc that the original film displayed.
 Horrible Cover February 6, 2010

I'm a graphic designer and I know horrible art when I see it. That doesn't even resemble Tom Cruise either.
