Minority Report (DVD) Reviews

Blade Runner has a rival and it is in the form of this masterpeice Minority Report. Tom Cruise has received a lot of slack in recent times, but no one can doubt his quality with this film and others like The Last Samurai and Mission Impossible on his repetoire. This movie had received rave reviews, so I had to check it out and it ...

I found this movie to be excellent! It was extremely exciting and the storyline was both intriguing and so very different from any movie out there at the time the movie was made. I am absolutely in love with movies that deal with fantasy and unrealistic situations. This movie does both of these things very well. Tom Cruise is excellent in this ...

Minority Report is a science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg. The screenplay was written by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen. The screenplay was based on a story written by Philip K. Dick. The film was released in 2002. The film is set in 2054 and is about a special police department called "Precrime", which studies crimes ...

This film is a must see. I bought this recently having heard so much about it through several of my friends. I like surreal films that make you think differently, and this film certainly does. The film is based around 3 life forms which are mentally disturbed in that they can predict murders. Their use is harnessed by special police to ...

Minority Report is a sci-fi film based in the future and stars Tom Cruise. What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed... yet? The film sees Chief John Anderton (Cruise) on the run after it's predicted he will murder Leo Crow (a man he has never met). While on the run from his own unit 'Pre-Crime' ...

Science fiction films tend to swing wildly between being incredibly good and incredibly bad. Minority Report falls on the good side. It's based in a future where no-one commits crimes any more because no-one can. Three pyschics constantly look into the future, and the moment it becomes inevitable that someone will commit a murder the ...

This film which is set in the future stars Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell. Cruise plays John Anderton who is a member of what is known as the Pre Crime unit. Due to modern technology the pre crime unit are able to see crimes happen before they actually take place due to the dreams of three mutants who are suspended in water, as an agent for the Pre ...

Not so long into the future and three genetically altered humans can see into the future to predict murders. There visions are used by a revolutionary Pre Crime unit, who then go and arrest and imprison the would be murderers before they ever commit the crime. What will happen though, when head of Pre Crime John Anderton is watching one of the ...

I purhcased 'Minority Report' the other week for a number of reasons - 1 - It is sci-fi. 2 - I hadn't seen it 3 - It was based on a short story by Philip K. Dick 4 - Spielberg directed it 5 - It was cheap (I am and will always be a tight-fisted Yorkshireman) For those of you unaware of the fact Philip ...

Things you don’t see often: Ewan McGregor lasting a movie without getting his giblets out. That’s one. A Wes Craven rom-com. That’s another. And how about Tom Cruise chasing his own surgically removed eyes down a ramp until they boulder daintily down a sewer drain? No. Not often… It says a lot about “Minority Report” that its only ...

There is no DVD section for this so I will be reviewing my DVD of it here. Steven Spielberg's self-confessed "experimental stage" continues with another stab at adult sci-fi- this time a murky film noir, set in the not-too-distant future. In 2054, to be exact. John Anderton (Tom Cruise) heads up Washington DC's ...

It’s just a normal day at the office for John Anderton when out of the blue, the pre-cons have a vision about a murder of passion about to be committed somewhere in the Washington area. As these crimes are no pre-meditated, this leaves the Pre-Crime police force, and John himself, little time to sort through the images given to them from the ...

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 otherworldly future, not least of all the police department. An ongoing experiment is underway ...

Our appetite for this 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 2002. I liked that film, for all its flaws. It was also a Philip K Dick adaptation about a respected man forced to go on the run to clear his name. But I loved Minority ...

This film was going to be big. It had the usual big concept of a future world bent on Big Brother style security but, more importantly, it had two of the biggest gunners of Hollywood side-by-side. Spielberg and Cruise. The film was bound to generate enough interest on this premise alone, nevermind about the story, ...

This film is a bit hard to understand. Plus you don't get into the main plot straight away, a lots just talking. It does have good action if you wait for it like. it's an intresting look to the future, stopping crime before it happens; but does it work? The chief of the department is accused of future murder, and goes on the ...

Pretty boy Tom Cruise has recently been entering into the land of serious acting and not just trading on his looks - Vanilla Sky saw him looking like the ugliest man who ever was and in parts of Minority Report he looks similarly Neanderthal. Methinks he's been pondering the world of artistic credibility and wondering what he needs to do to ...

The film is essentially about the protagonist, Anderton (Tom Cruise), who is utterly professional in his work but consumed by grief and guilt in his personal life. He is a drug taking cop who fronts an elite police division who are trialling the Precrime system; crimes psychically seen by three Pre-Cog individuals. All is going well until ...

A film based on a Philip K Dick story, a sci-fi tale with a film noire feel about it, a chilling vision of the near future, where man’s freedom is being threatened by technology… No I’m not talking about the sci-fi classic Blade Runner but about one of Spielberg’s recent offerings Minority Report. The comparisons ...

I wanted to see this film ever since I saw the trailer 2 months before it came out here so the first weekend it was out I did and it was better than I imagined, the acting is great the visual effects are floorless and the soundtrack really adds to the whole feel of the film. Director: Steven Spielberg (band of brothers,A.I.) ...
