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 Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (Collector's Edition) (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/ I Robot

Advantages: Two brilliant DVDs!
Disadvantages: Check out whether you can get them cheaper separately...

...satisfying way). I watched Minority Report by myself. Riveted. And loved it. What more can I say? Well, I guess I can say that I watched I Robot with hubby, and we both cried. So I can recommend both of these films - and it seems really logical to buy them together. If you're a girl, you can have a night in with your lad and impress him with your choice of films. And you will like them too! :o) If you're a lad, you can start to convert your partner ...
...and hold her interest. (If you are trying for a conversion, don't be afraid to cry. It's very attractive in a man - trust me!) Best watched with a good red wine and a pizza (and a box of tissues….) Just before you buy - make sure you can't get the films cheaper separately, now that they are a few years old. ...
