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. ...

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 ...

The Good and Bad of I Robot

Advantages: Entertains
Disadvantages: Does get abit boring in some places

What I personally enjoyed about I Robot is the opening seen of Will Smith in the shower, but I would. Throughout this film I thought that Will Smiths (Detective Del Spooner) performance was excellent, along with supporting actress Bridget Moynahan (Dr. Susan Calvin) just made the film. Both their performances complimented each other. The special effects all the way through this film are phenomenal, they are so realistic and very imaginative, companied ...
...just makes the film so individual and entertaning, it is a must see movie. The only problem that I found within all the special effects, characters and of course the classic sound track (with songs by people you will know who ever you are) is that its a film where you cannot watch it over and over again in a short period of time, you do have to leave it for a couple months before you can rewatch it and not get destracted by anything else. I would ...

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 ...

War Of The Worlds - Tom Cruise back to his best

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: weak ending

Steven Spielberg’s remake of War Of The Worlds is not a blockbuster classic but still a movie he can be proud of. This is an intense, chilling sci-fi movie. At the beginning we see Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) reunited with his to kids Rachel (Dakota Fanning) and Robbie (Justin Chatwin) who are dropped by ex-wife Mary Ann (Miranda Otto) and straight away we can see there is not a good relationship between Ray Ferrier and his two children. As the day ...
...Morgan Freeman giving a momentary narration which close’s the film up very nicely. Steven Spielberg’s remake of War Of The Worlds is one of his best pieces and even though the ending is a little bit dull after all that happened throughout the film it still is a great accomplishment. ...
