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

 Spielberg's Film Noir Masterpiece February 6, 2010
D. Cava (America, USA)
8 out of 12 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.
Is a excellent material for teaching January 22, 2010
Caroline Torres (Costa Rica)
I am a slightly obsessive teacher with the quality of my lessons and because of it I bought these movies because they allow him(her) to offer to the student a moment of amusement or recreation on having broken the daily routine of the classes and simultaneously it offers a good material to analyze topics of class as the maternity and responsible paternity in case of the movies "Juno" and " Love of rent " or in applications of the science and technology in case of the movies " I robot " and " Minority report ". These movies come in mint condition bearing in mind that I am from Costa Rica and the quality is excellent .. I am very satisfied with the material
Minority Report January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In Washington, D.C., in the year 2054, murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before the crime has ever been committed. From a nexus deep within the Justice Department's elite Pre-Crime unit, all the evidence to convict--from imagery alluding to the time, place and other details--is seen by "Pre-Cogs," three psychic beings whose visions of murders have never been wrong. It is the nation's most advanced crime force, a perfect system. And no one works harder for Pre-Crime than its top man, Chief John Anderton. Destroyed by a tragic loss, Anderton has thrown all of his passion into a system that could potentially spare thousands of people from the tragedy he lived through. One of his (Steven Spielberg) most compelling and entertaining movies ever.
I was wrong December 1, 2009
DTL (Boston, Ma.)
I usually don't care for Tom Cruise but for this film he was a beautiful fit. It possesses a sci-fi background about a crime prevention program but it really is a who-dun-it and its theme concerns the abuse of power. Who will watch the watchers? The program predicts Cruise will murder somebody in 36 hours and marks him for arrest and imprisonment. The program is either wrong or the data was manipulated. He evades arrest and begins an investigation into the matter. As a result he learns that the program can interpet the facts differently at times and file minority reports about an alternative to the prediction. These reports are kept secret. The advocates of the program want its approval across the country but another camp is unconvinced. If truth is the proper interpetation of data how can you be sure about the infallibility of the predictions? Or feeding false information into the program for a false prediction? So who would set him up? There are a multitude of people with motive but very few with the means to do so. If it is a colleague at the office then why? At this point it becomes a murder mystery. It was well put together. You could watch the film on numerous occasions and keep it with a core group of films in your collection for the household.
