The System is Perfect...Until it comes after you

Advantages: Good cast and storyline
Disadvantages: A tad too long

I'd caught sections of Minority Report when it had been on television - numerous times - but until last week I'd never actually seen it the whole way through. There were a couple of reasons for this with the firs being that normally I find the film is on late at night when I really want to settle down to sleep and two that the idea for the film isn't one that would normally interest me. I did think however it was probably about time I saw it and ...
...it a go. Minority Report like I have already mentioned stars Tom Cruise and is a sci-fi type film that was released in 2002. The year is 2054 and the base for the story is Washington DC which thanks to an outstanding technology that can identify killers before they even commit their crimes, has been free of murder for six-years. This technology and the unit that houses it is known as Precrime and is able to complete the job it does because of three ...

Review of Minority Report (DVD)

Is this our Future

Advantages: original plot, quality special effects
Disadvantages: you need to keep a broad open mind

...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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Minority Report (DVD) (RESCHEDULED) (DVD)

It wasn't me!!!!

Advantages: action blockbuster
Disadvantages: time travel style paradox

...Philip I. Dick short story, Minority Report tells the story of the head of pre-cognitive crime division John Anderton who is accused of a crime he hasn't yet committed. Set in Washington in the year 2054, 3 genetically altered humans can see into the future and give the pre-crime police details of crimes that will soon be committed. If just one of the 'precogs' sees a different outcome it is filed as a 'minority report'. But the time-travel style ...
...a murder, can the person be accused of the murder, which, because they have been arrested already can never take place? The prisons are likely to fill up quickly with this style of justice and the system, which is trialling well in Washington is beginning to receive opposition. Anderton, played reasonably well by Cruise, is a big fan of the system, throwing himself into his work to get over the death of his son 6 years earlier, until his name comes ...

Minority Report! One of the best

Advantages: Great film to watch
Disadvantages: None as this is a great film

...done it again with The Minority report, also from director STEVEN SPIELBERG you no that these 2 can make a movie work. This film about catching crime before it happens, for example if some was to even try to kill someone then these people would get caught before they had the chance. I shall tell you a little about this film, Tom Cruise plays a cop who lost his son which also affected his marrige, so he becomes the main part of the film and this is ...
...what you would call the Minority Report. Very clever is all I can say and you would need to watch this film a few times to get the understanding of the film. Any way once shown the precogs he is impressed and then leaves. Anderton is left in the room (The Temple as explained in the film) on his own and the female precog grabs him and shows him a murder that has already taken place. From here it all starts to go wrong and down hill for anderton. Later ...

Review of Minority Report (Vanilla Version) (DVD)

Will Smith - Box Set

Advantages: 3 amazing films.
Disadvantages: none.

Will Smith has to be one of the most talented men on earth. He can sing, dance and act, brilliantly. Will Smith developed his acting career with 'Fresh Prince of Bellair' and from that he grew and grew. This box set is really good for it's price and Will Smith makes that price the more better. I robot is an action-packed film which is briefly about robots taking over the world. The robots are meant to be wonderful inventions and never able to harm ...
...film that is basically American originated. I can't really explain this film as I can't briefly remember it and also with the film 'Minority'. I have seen these films and they are great but I can't really put it in to words about the two. However this is a great box set to buy so I would recommend it. ...
