There have only been two good Philip K. Dick films made so far. This is not one of those two. This is a complete mess!
Colin Farrell, Kathryn Morris, Max von Sydow

Spielberg's disturbingly obvious aesthetic choices turn an intelligent, expansive premise into galvanizing and easy entertainment. But entertainment it is; even if the obvious swells of dramatic music and abuse of the blue camera filter pull you out of the film, the fantastic act...( read more)

"There hasn't been a murder in six years. The system, it is perfect."
"Minority Report" is an ultra stylish sci-fi movie. Based on Philip K. Dick's story, the film takes you to a near future. A future that doesn't seem so unrealistic. If you think on how fast technology has deve...( read more) -

"What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed... yet?"
Based on a short story by the late Philip K. Dick, this science fiction-thriller reflects the writer's familiar preoccupation with themes of concealed identity and mind control. Tom Cruise ...( read more) -

a great film, but a very anti-climatic ending
tom cruise gives a strong performance that at times comes off a bit moving. -

This could have been way more unsettling with different direction. Like with a more Through a Scanner Darkly tone.
Critic Reviews
While it strays from Dick's narrative, it nails the basic premise and some quintessential Dickian motifs. full review
Minority Report won't go down as one of Spielberg's greatest films -- there are a few gaping holes in the plot, and some awkward attempts at humor. But it's a wonderfully chilly thrill ride while it l... full review
This is the kind of pure entertainment that, in its fullness and generosity, feels almost classic. full review
While the film, deftly imagined by screenwriters Scott Frank and Jon Cohen, doesn't entirely hold together, its dark, twisty chases and tricky puzzles have much more going for them than Spielberg's la... full review
Cruise will never be a master thespian, but there's no one better at putting across the charisma of control, and the opening sequence of Report is an astonishingly fluid demonstration of his gifts. full review
This film is such a virtuoso high-wire act, daring so much, achieving it with such grace and skill. full review

September 16, 2007'Minority Report' is Spielberg's best of the 2000s.
Great story and script. It fast-paced, intelligent, and real at the same time.
Tom Cruise gives a great emotional performance and uses his smile perfectly. Samantha Morton gives a great performance as a woman who is frighteningly not used to the world around her. Max Von Sydow is good, but not memorable. Colin Farrell gives a great snobby performance and his chemistry with Cruise is top-notch.
The star of the film is Steven Spielberg. This movie is an old-school noir story, set in the future. The production design is high-tech with chrome and clear windows everywhere. The special effects are amazing, as well as the cinematography and editing. Visually this is one of the best movies. I've ever seen.
Never boring and always interesting. This is Spielberg's 'Schindler's List' and 'The Color Purple' for the new millennium. -
June 9, 2007I saw it on ABC Movie Night and i loved it. It had suspence, action, and a good story line. all the things i like in a movie.

October 15, 2006I was surprised by how much I really enjoyed this movie when Tom Cruise is such a developmentally stunted moron!

October 14, 2006if you like A.I, I robot and any of those types of movies, then you'll like this

September 21, 2006Theres futuristic movies, theres crime movies, and then theres the offspring of the two. It has the storyline of an enthralling keeps-you-guessing plot, set in a very real futuristic city landscape.
Justins Best Bit: The end, i wont spoil it for you.
