by scott29  - Top 500, Jun 20 '02
Pros: The look, the themes, the words, the action, the premise, the actors.
Cons: If Act III slows down just a little, I really don't mind.
There’s been a whole lot of bizarre Spielberg-bashing going on over the past few years, most of which decries the filmmaker’s tendency to lean a bit towards “overt sappiness” leading to “audience manipulation”; that last summer’s A.I. was a...

by MrsNormanMaine - Top 1000, Jun 24 '02
Pros: Visually breathtaking. Stunningly directed. Decent performances.
Cons: A sagging third act.
Being confined to plaster and a wheel chair is very unnerving. As I sit on my terrace, a pitcher of Margaritas close at hand, I can't help but wonder how I should get out if the wildfires sweeping the west should start ascending the Hollywood Hills. I...

by lynus - Top 200, Dec 21 '02
Pros: Imagination, creativity, and expected expunged expectations.
Cons: Lots of technological talk, easy to get lost in the future world.
Often science-fiction movies become action movies with a spice of science-fiction. There is the occasional futurist vision with new gadgets and life made better many years later. But often, cinema decides to showcase such visions in the...

Pros: Acting and Directing and of course the incredible writing.
Cons: None I can remember
I haven't written much lately on epinions, but I had to write about this film because it was just so good. I chose to write about the jewel of the summer blockbusters and my favorite film of the year, “Minority Report.” Unlike most films...

by ALawston , Jul 05 '02
Pros: Philip K Dick finally gets the adaptation he deserves.
Cons: No 'classic' scene on a par with Blade Runner's rooftop finale.
In the UK, our appetite for this long-awaited behemoth movie was whetted by the little-seen and mildly under-rated Impostor, which slipped out on a stealth release for a week or two in June. I liked that film, for all its flaws.
But I...

Pros: Samantha Morton, Tom Cruise, Special Effects, thinking person's movie, Spielberg's direction
Cons: Slow paced
Ever think about what the world would be like in 2054? Neither do I, but the writer of this screenplay, Philip Dick did. I've never read the book, so I can't compare the movie to the book.
Can you imagine walking into a store and having a TV...

Pros: Visual touches; Story; Oscar worthy special effects
Cons: In meager moments, it lags
*My number three most anticipated movie of 2002*
Few movies give me the torque to find time to describe in detail one of its moments:
The scene is a back alleyway and Detective John Anderton finds himself at a dead end....

by Kidnykid , Jul 24 '02
Pros: Introduces important issues in a popular format
Cons: Perhaps too well-balanced - may not please issues-oriented moviegoers
MINORITY REPORT, starring Tom Cruise, tells the story of John Anderton (Cruise), a cop with Washington, DC's Precrime unit, in 2054. Precrime has been in existence as a unit for six years as the movie begins, and the unit's cops rely on the visions...

by jeff_wilder78 - Top 500, Dec 29 '02
Pros: An exciting futuristic vision with great characters. special effects and set design.
Cons: The final sequence is tacked on.
Join me if you will for a glimpse into the future. It's a future that is supposedly a crime-free utopia. There are no murders committed in this rather Orwellian paradise, yet this paradise also seems rather cold, sterile and outright depressing. Is the...

by steerpyke , Jan 24 '05
Pros: a visually stunning, high tech thriller
Cons: Colin Farrell
The backdrop for Minority Report is a high tech world of talking advertisements, automated cars and retinal scans fifty years in the future, recognisable in some respects and totally alien in others. Much has changed between the present day and this ...

Pros: Cruise conveys ingenuity and emotion
Cons: It's too believable
This semester I am taking "Criminal Procedure-Police Practices," which is not required at this law school, but is strongly recommended for the bar. The more I have learned about the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable searches and seizures and the ...

Pros: Great action, spectacular special effects, and an original setting.
Cons: Holes, lots of them.
During the last two months, we have witnessed the revival of the summer blockbuster. Big-time feature films like Spiderman, Star Wars Episode 2, and The Sum of All Fears have really revitalized Hollywood after a pretty dismal summer...

by Furie , Jun 03 '03
Pros: Works as a noir film, has some fun action sequences, great set design
Cons: Doesn't work as a philosophical sci-fi movie, tells instead of showing
Minority Report comes from with from an impressive heritage: based on a short story by Phillip K. Dick, who penned the stories behind other mind-bending sci-fi flicks like Blade Runner and Total Recall; directed by Stephen Spielberg,...

by pendragen , Jun 22 '02
Pros: Unpredictable and very entertaining!
Cons: There really weren't any, from my point of view at least.
These days, there are few movies that can offer both intelligence and extreme action. Stephen Spielberg's Minority Report is one of these rare masterpieces. I was absolutely stunned at how suspenseful the overall feature was; the film kept...

by isinga - Top 1000, Jan 01 '03
Pros: Well crafted mystery with plausible inclusion of improbable situations
Cons: The beginning, although visually impressive, was unnecessarily obtuse in establishing the story's premise.
Although I didn't expect much from another Tom Cruise film, I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently, if you can sufficiently limite the scope of his character, he is able to do a credible job of acting. At any rate, he did a very good job portraying...
