The storyline is exceptionally original which does not conflict with any other movie that has been set in the future. The name Tom Cruise does not normally come to mind when one is thinking of a futuristic film, but he actually does play quite a good character although at times the quality of his acting is questionable.
Year - 2002 genre - Futuristic/action Director - Steven Speilberg Writers - Phillip K. Dick (short story) Scott Frank (screnplay) Awards - 16
The story of Minority report takes place in the future America 2054, due to the help of three psycic's it is now scientificaly possibble to predict acts of murder that are committed spontanously in the near future. No one bothers with pre meditated murder anymore as it is easily pick up. The pre-crime department is responsible for collecting data and finding out when and where the murder will take place and preventing it from happening.
Tom Cruise is the head of the pre-crime department, all is well until a prediction appears that within the next day he will commit murder. Naturally he escapes and endevours to prove his innocence while trying to refrain from being captured by the pre-crime squad and put in virtual reality (not a happy prospect).
This film comes up with some nice twists and superb turns, the special effects team who have had to practically work within every scene of Minority report have really excelled themselves. The futuristic technology is amazing and yet at the same time seems perfectly plausible that in around 50 years time we really could be living like that... almost.
This is a nice action packed film which supplies the viewer with a nice steady stream of fascination and violence while abstaining from long boring scenes of talking. when they are actually talking this is very relevant to the plot and doesnt drift off.
The acting is very good and i personally think that Colin Farrell who has appeared in such great films as Hart's war and Daredevil. plays aquality character and is by far one of the better actors throughout the film. unusually he does not have an irish voice, he masks his irish birth with natural ease and you could easily take him for a cocky American.
This DVD does not come with any special features as it is the basic and cheapest version of the film you can purchase. £3 was the price i payed at HMV, this is worth every penny. You'll definately want to watch this film a couple o' times.
Advantages: the storyline and issues, visuals Disadvantages: Cruise, lack of character depth
Minority Report, basically, is a futuristic film (based on a short story by Philip K. Dick) where criminals get caught before they commit the act ('pre-crime'). Tom Cruise plays an officer accused by such a method, who then has to prove his innocence, before the act is committed. What makes it an interesting and complex film is the blend of issues involving paranoia and personal choice (very reminiscent of the original author), as well as society ... ...accused before they commit the crime surely cancels out any notion that the person might change their minds about committing the crime at all and have some sort of effect over their destiny. This makes the theme and storyline an interesting one.
Visually the film is excellent - with very detailed, thought-out scenes of the future - all in shades of blue and grey (why is there never any colour in the future?), mass-advertising, futuristic cars, very ...

Plot: The science-fiction thriller MINORITY REPORT, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, is based on a short story by renowned writer Philip K. Dick. In the year 2054, in Washington, D.C., murder has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the visions of three psychics, called Precogs (an abbreviation for precognitive thinkers), to arrest and imprison would-be murderers before they have a chance to kill. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime enforcer who believes in the system for his own personal reasons years back his young son was abducted, and he has dealt with the loss by becoming a high-strung Precrime officer. The director of Precrime (Max von Sydow) is eager to take the program national, and feels threatened by an ambitious federal agent (Colin Farrell) who is bent on finding a flaw in the system. When Anderton finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he's never met, his faith in Precrime is instantly shaken. He goes on the run, and is trailed by the relentless Precrime police. In the tradition of BLADE RUNNER (also based on a Dick story), MINORITY REPORT is a dark, brooding vision of the future. Spielberg expertly mixes thrilling chase and suspense sequences (the best of which involves Anderton being pursued by eye-scanning mechanical spiders) and stunning special effects with a challenging look at society's willingness to sacrifice privacy and the notion of free will for convenience and security. MINORITY REPORT is a thought-provoking and exciting film that ranks with Spielberg's best.
