Minority Report (2002)

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Am I Missing Something?

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Minority Report is a stylish neo- noir science fiction from Steven Spielberg destined to become a classic of the future. Taking place in 2054 it concerns a group of police force which are equipped with the capability to foresee a crime about to happen with the help of three mutated humans called "precogs". Unfortunately for John Anderton (Tom Cruise) as he sets up to work on the next crime about to happen he is horrified to see that the offender is he himself. What follows is a cat and mouse hunt which involves his entire corporation and then some. The visual effects are amazing, and the tone of the film is finely balanced between dreary, rainy grey and futuristic blue. Cruise and Colin Farrell star. Great movie.

Minority Report is a neo-tech-noir with Tom Cruise center-stage in the story; mix that with Spielberg and you have a match made in cinematic heaven. This is a well-made blockbuster that demonstrates what all blockbusters in the 2000s wanted to be: bombastic spectacles that had thoroughly thought-out stories to their name and survive as memorable viewing experiences in the future.

Dick (1928-1982) on the Washington D.C. police-force in the Mid of the 21st century, adapting a dangerous and morally-questionable combination of life-stock, namely the "Pre-Cogs" and digitized glass tablet technology, leading to the processions of program "Pre-Crime", where victims and abusers are equally identified before the action, handled by leading-role-playing Hollywood Star Tom Cruise, who brings never been seen before beats of distress and agony to fight his way through a super-suspense storyline as wrongly-framed master detective Chief John Anderton, getting confronted with new old faces of the system, battling supporting characters portrayed by Colin Farrell at age 25 office-storming Danny Witwer, Max von Sydow as "PreCrime" Principal Lamar Burgess, and actor Peter Stormare, portraying eye-care Doctor Solomon Eddie in an magnificently-shot center scene of drama, comedy, action and tiny-spider-robot interogation thrills by conflicting through a neo-noir image system created by cinematographer Janusz Kaminski with an extensive use of hot-spot lighting, mirroring effects digitally as in-camera, making "Minority Report" stunning science fiction action entertainment of a 135 minutes final cut, becoming arguably Steven Spielberg's best film of his career.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
