Seriously i was not expecting much from this movie, but I was wrong, as it turned out to be a "mature" science fiction movie. I liked how Mr. Spielber presented 2054 A.D. (Even if He was too optimistic I am afraid...), where "Pre-Cogs" predict crimes beforehand. This whole "Pre-cog" method of peacekeeping, and it use in more and more places every day, raise interesting ethical questions. Is the person really guilty if he/she has not committed the crime yet, because "Precrime" arrested him/her based on the prediction of "Pre-cogs"? Are "Pre-cogs" infallible? What if they make mistakes sometimes? Is If they do make mistakes, is it worth it for the greater good? Is it ethical to keep "Pre-cogs" sedated and placed in a room in their whole life to serve the law, basically taking away they chance to a normal life? These are some of the questions the movie ask from the viewer, while the plot unfolds. The movies main plot is also interesting and keep you seated the whole run time. It is about John Anderton who heads Precrime, and believes the system's flawlessness. However one day the "Pre-cogs" predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Anderton decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female "Pre-cog" Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent. I can only recommend the movie. It has some interesting twist and turns. Tom Cruise's character is layered and the actors all did a great job in their roles.… Expand

Full on high octane action and kinetic sci-fi thrills, Steven Speilberg's "Minority Report" is one of the smartest and realistic science fiction movies of the 2000's.

One of the most underestimated Sci-fi movies. Unexpected turn of events, good pictures and acting, too. An essay on crime prevention and system flaws from the perspective of the future, many compare it to the also futurist anime .

Great special effects, very good acting/casting, and that unique Spielburg style directing you don't see anywhere else. I took one point off because of the ending, as someone before me said, was just too narrated, or forced, as some of Spielburgs movies are. It would've been better if they just let the movie end directly after the climax, instead of having Cruise explain what happened afterward. The other point I took off was because, although the movie is a great thriller, it does seem to lack action, or freshness, after you've seen it. But, as long as you don't "overwatch" it to keep the movie fresh, I'd really recommend buying this. Awesome movie...… Expand

Minority report tells the story of John Anderson, the head of a experimental division that catches criminals before they commit the crime.All things are going well until someone sets Anderson up for murder. Now He's got one chance to clear his name try to find who set him up and why. Minority Report is an amazing film steeped in outstanding special effects and an amazing story based on the short story by the legendary king of Sci-Fi Phillip K. Dick, Tom Cruise is in top form and delivers one of his best and most potent action performances, solidifying why he is one of the best in the business. This film is an amazing example that shows what would happen if we had the power to prevent crimes before they would ever committed. IT shows that a power like that should never be used, but it could also be a benefit to our society. Minority Report is an exceptional Sci-Fi ride that you just don't want to miss. it's a movie that will keep you coming back to it for more.… Expand

Themes such as the right to exercise your own free will, the decadence of privacy and the importance of family as the base for a balanced life in society are approached. The setting is futuristc. The overall tone of people's lives in 2054 is hopelessly murky. Director Steven Spielberg uses his tremendous skill as a prodigious technical director to bring jaw-dropping action sequences to life here, not to mention his dead-on ability to emulate the tense atmosphere of classic film noir, now blended with what can be described as a touch of realistic fantasy. The screenplay is mundane at best, though, for there are a couple of weak plot twists which end up causing a feeling of not enough innovation when it comes to building a relevant plot. This 102 million dollar thriller did not amaze audiences, afterall. Either because these people considered it too distant and dark as an escapist entertainment or, probaby, they simply disassociated it from those big, generic summer blockbusters. Mr. Spielberg achieved a slightly pretentious, enormously nice-looking motion picture, but not a particulary memorable one, so to speak. It ultimately lacks some depth and substance. As a Spielberg film, "Minority Report" can easily be labelled as average only. If compared to similar flicks, it is definetely above average.… Expand

A perhaps surreal futuristic science-fiction thriller, Cruise perfects it by staying in control of his all-guns-blazing urges but brandishes a tricky yet fascinating personality. The ending comes extremely close to letting it all go inA perhaps surreal futuristic science-fiction thriller, Cruise perfects it by staying in control of his all-guns-blazing urges but brandishes a tricky yet fascinating personality. The ending comes extremely close to letting it all go in Spielberg style, but it felt like a matter of the poignancy involved when dealing with sensitive areas, alongside the corruption and multi-faceted look of each of the characters. Besides, it still had the action, just with the intellectual superiority, hard-hitting, thought-provoking and the haunting strangeness in both the visuals and the story that many other films don't have. The plot twists were careful enough not to tie you in knots, but remembered the audience knew that it was a science-fiction thriller, and ended up creating something intelligent and mind-blowing at the same time. Strangely, this is both Cruise's and Spielberg's best film that I have seen so far.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minority Report is one of the most unique films I've seen. Tom Cruise stars in his role as John Anderton, lead officer in Washington, D.C.'s pre-crime division set in the mid-21st century. "Pre-crime" is a concept that revolves around the ability to stop murders before they happen thanks to three "precogs" and their ability to see into the future. This is an inherently controversial way to 'solve' crime but is largely accepted because it seems perfect considering that no murders had been committed in the six year experiment. The conflict is introduced when Cruise finds out that he is the next expected murderer. This puts him on the run from the division he once led and on an investigation to find out how he is supposedly going to murder someone he's never met. The action isn't overdone but rather placed well throughout the film. The combat sequences could've been better but they were still enjoyable. A few of the plot points were a little weak also but there weren't actual holes or anything. The acting was solid with Cruise and a supporting cast of Colin Farrell and Max von Sydow among others. The best part of the film, though, was the interesting plot. Even with the few weak parts it's just a very interesting story that develops nicely. Many movies struggle with the concept of the future being predicted but Minority Report does a great job and is very entertaining.… Expand

Dick and when you read his name, you probably just snickered. He might not have had an easy childhood with a name like that and you may not recognize his name, but he is to Science Fiction what Stephen King is to Horror. The films Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, Paycheck, A Scanner Darkly, Next, & The Adjustment Bureau were all based on stories or books that he wrote. Minority Report is yet another of his stories developed for the big screen and one of the most popular. This ingenious film was Directed by Stephen Spielberg and starred Tom Cruise. I am by no means a fan of Tom Cruise, in fact, I've made it a point over the last few years to avoid seeing anything he is in, but this was one film I couldn't miss. To his credit Cruise was very good and exciting throughout, showing a lot of charisma, it was unexpected, but a welcome change from what we normally see from him. This terrific futuristic tale tells the story of pre-crime, a system in which high functioning autistics can predict murders with a very narrow margin of error. John Anderton (Tom Cruise) is the lead investigator, whose job it is to stop these crimes before they happen. Things are going well for him, that is until his name comes out of the machine and he becomes a target of his own men. The story was deep, yet somewhat complicated, as I was confused at several points in the movie, but that's how you know it's good Science Fiction. The action and chase sequences were fantastic, as was the direction and special effects. The story does however leave some lose ends and I found the precogs to be more than somewhat creepy. It almost seemed like these disabled people were being abused for their unique abilities and not a single character in the film had any issues with that. Minority Report is a long, complex story, but it's fast paced, visually impactful, and will make you think. It only took thirty years, but you can finally add a Tom Cruise film to the list of movies I enjoyed.… Expand

However, once you finally wrap your head around everything, the film really takes off.

Dick, Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report" was an incredibly interesting experience. I'd have to say that this film is easily one of the best science fiction films of the 2000s. The overall premise of the movie is really novel as well as provocative, and all the performances help to ...tell this complex narrative with great intensity. The film's story also delves into some very complex literary topics, such as: determinism vs. free-will, legality vs. politics, and Self-perception. One of my favorite aspects of the film is the way it's shot. In terms of lighting, Spielberg used a deep contrast between lights and darks which really helps to give the film a sort of a badass neo-noir feel. Spielberg also bleach-bypassed the negatives of the film in order to desaturate the colors of overlit scenes. Both of these technical aspects helped to achieve the very unique visual style that this movie has to offer - I style that I found relevant to the rest of the movie's tone. In terms of action, there's a pretty good shovelful of these really badass set pieces that Spielberg is known best for. Also, Spielberg reunites with John Williams to create yet another amazing soundtrack. My only problem with the movie was the ending. While it was pretty uplifting, I didn't really think it fit the tone of the rest of the movie. However, it doesn't take away from the film in any way - I still enjoyed the movie immensely and a happy ending never hurts. Anyway, in the end, I think that "Minority Report" was a near seamless film that was as interesting as it was aesthetic, and fun.… Expand

First and foremost this is one of Spielberg's best movies, and I can't believe it only received one Oscar nomination. Better than none, but still. The movie is thought provoking and should be watched more than once in order to soak everything in better. The unique bleached look to the film is just about perfect, and the futuristic world of the film is impressive. It has moments of true emotion and the acting is just about flawless as well. It's only flaws are that the last couple of minutes weren't that great, and some of the cop on the run action wasn't as engaging as it should have been. Not that no action was any good, it's just that some big moments fell kinda flat. These are just nitpicks however in a film destined to be remembered as a classic. It's one of those rare movies that actually uses an ambitious premise well throughout the entire film and not just the beginning.… Expand

Tom Cruise is amazing and all actors do good job overall. Steven Spielberg does great job with amazing camera shots and angles. Movie isn't perfect but pacing is very well done compared to movie length, which is a lot. Plot twists are real good but some things are not handled well (such as a character death) and some movie-lore-related paradoxes.

In this case the insistent flash-bang-whiz helps to make up the deficit, as the viewer has no time to reflect on how bizarre and silly much of the story is. So watch and enjoy the spectacle, but don't worry too much about holes in the plot or cookie-cutter characters. A few barely functioning psychics float in a pool at police headquarters, and occasionally they get a vision of a murder about to take place, which results in a wooden ball rolling down a chute and into the hands of detective John Anderton, who quickly tries to locate and then shut down the crime before it can happen. John has issues of his own, such as drug use, the disappearance of his young son, and the subsequent collapse of his marriage. Then one day Anderton himself is fingered by the "pre-cogs" and he has to go on the lam and try to figure out who is out to get him and why. This leads to a few plot twists and an unconvincing wrap-up. But there are enough memorable moments - such as Anderton being followed by video ads in a shopping mall, a scientist and her amazing, moving plants, and mechanical spiders that invade an area on behalf of the police and identify people by shining a beam into their eyes - to make this an exciting ride.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It had the telltale signs of Spielberg. And I didn't even check about the name of the director until I watched it though... in 2018.
Having said that, the relevance of the story Minority Report tells is not going to lose relevance anytime soon. The story of human error creeping, creating and destroying justice systems that are supposed to help people and the story of people far too ambitious and fame-hungry to ever see the right choice through. It is a timeless story of the inevitability of choice. There is nothing unpredictable about the how it would come to for Captain John Anderton but the way the narrative is driven till that penultimate final confrontation suffices far too well for it be a bother. The highlight of this all is Pre-Cog Agatha's fated monologue about the future of a child that was lost to human cruelty of a more subtle nature.
If there is one thing that bothered me, it was Anderton having a last chance to take down the mastermind behind this tragedy and the redemptive act that follows it. It was far too wishy-washy for me to handle without a good bollocking. But Spielberg is much more intelligent man than me when it comes to movies, and perhaps I would like to have what he was thinking about this particular thing.… Expand

One of the best films of 2002, with moral issues and a good story behind it.

What would happen if we could predict a crime with details and certainty before this same crime actually happened? This is the basic premise of this film, set inOne of the best films of 2002, with moral issues and a good story behind it.

What would happen if we could predict a crime with details and certainty before this same crime actually happened? This is the basic premise of this film, set in 2054, where a system was set up (Washington D.C. only) called "Pre-Crime" that allows the authorities to take precautionary action by arresting criminals in the act before committing the act. However, the entire system relies on three people with a knack for seeing crimes that have not yet happened, and which are held virtually captive and asleep, called "Pre-Cogs." However, doubts arise when Pre-Crime Division Chief John Anderton is spotted by the pre-cogs while committing a future assassination. Anderton will therefore try to understand how everything will happen and ensure that it does not happen.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film is very well done. Set in the near future, there is much of the Orwellian universe here: people who are identified by the retina anywhere, as if a "big brother" watched over everything and everyone, a strong and controlling authority ... the movie, at this point, reminds a lot the works of this writer, famous for the pessimistic way in which he faced the future of humanity. The scene of the invasion of the condominium by the police spiders, in order to identify everything and everyone, is one of the moments that most reveals the controlling nature of the authorities, as if the ends justified all means, including the invasion of privacy and the home of each person. Of course, the weaknesses of the Pre-Crime system are exposed by the film and this raises complex moral and ethical questions. There is some poetic justice here, as it is someone in the system who tries to undermine the system to save itself. However, from a certain point in the movie, everything becomes increasingly clear and predictable, moving towards an ending that may, in fact, leave us wanting something more.

Tom Cruise is an actor I don't particularly like, but I must admit that with this movie he got one of the best performances of his career so far. John Anderton is a good character, and Cruise was able to gradually destroy the character's confidence convincingly. The way he worked and brought to life the main character is one of the pillars that underpins the entire film, although he collaborates well with other good actors such as Max von Sydow and Colin Farrell. They never match Cruise, just giving you the support you need.

On a technical level, and being a futuristic sci-fi movie, we should highlight the positive visual, special and CGI effects that Spielberg (who already has school at this point) has secured for the film. It was a job well done. Only those cars and airways didn't convince me, looking like something out of the Jetsons universe. Other than that, the focus is on realistic holograms, advanced computing, recreational 3D, robotics, etc. everything seems to be in line with the way humanity is developing.

It is undoubtedly a good movie, one of the best in that distant year of 2002, and it still has room on the shelves and movie channels of our day.… Expand

It's great. Steven Spielberg is back with Sci-fi. This is like the true version/model of all dystopian fiction. However, it was boring few times, and I don't get if Spielberg really had to do that with those eyes.

Certainly one of my favourite Spielberg films. This is an ingenious and original sci-fi filled with dark, heart-pounding and intense events, and an indelible performance from Tom Cruise.

My favorite movie with Tom Cruise in it. Is there any movie that sucks that Tom is in? That guy is intense and I love his acting skill.

He might be the best male actor of all time in my opinion. Very tense scenes without any let down.My favorite movie with Tom Cruise in it. Is there any movie that sucks that Tom is in? That guy is intense and I love his acting skill.

Os fins justificam os meios?

A obra de Steven só não beira a perfeição por conta de um certo tipo de indecisão no que se propõe a ser.

Ao iniciar do longa, acreditei estar vendo algo mais pé no chão; reflexivo. E a fotografia inevitavelmente me lembrou Blade Runner, principalmente por conta do uso das luzes. Já mais pra metade do filme, um aspecto mais aventuresco tinha vindo a tona, nem que fosse em poucas cenas. Alguns momentos cômicas quase me afastaram do filme, principalmente a cena de ação desnecessária que há. Felizmente, o filme não se entrega completamente e volta a focar na narrativa, mesmo que aquela atmosfera inicial não exista mais.

Eu gostei bastante dos personagens. O drama do protagonista me pegou, mesmo não havendo um grande enfoque nisso. Sua personalidade e ideais são bem representados. O mesmo acontece com o personagem de Colin Farrel, que traz contrapontos interessantes e serve perfeitamente de "Red Herring", dando um alicerce muito grande ao plot twist. O diretor Lamar Burgess também é bem desenvolvido, indo muito além do personagem "mal por natureza".

A construção do universo é ok. Não há um verdadeiro enfoque nisso, senão o apelo ao visual - pra 2002, até que chama atenção. A fotografia é muito boa, de forma geral. O suspense carregado funciona bem, nos deixando com interrogações na cabeça boa parte do filme.

Por mais que haja um certo tipo de indecisão no que se diz respeito ao proposito do filme - ao menos, isso que me pareceu; nada disso chega a atrapalhar minha experiencia, que contou com momentos emocionantes e de surpresa considerável. Recomendado!… Expand

Really good movie. This is one of those movies where you really gotta pay attention to it to understand it fully. Great storyline too. I'm sure our world will eventually end up this way. Hope not though!

One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made. Very interesting moral questions are brought up, and the movie feels like it could have been made yesterday. Still very relevant and has aged like fine wine!

Im Jahr 2054 liegt die Mordrate in Washington D.C bei null. Grund dafür sind die sogenannten Precogs.

Grund dafür sind die sogenannten Precogs. Diese können in die Zukunft sehen und die Polizei kann dadurch Morde verhindern die passieren würde. Der Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise) wird selber verdächtig einen Mord durchzuführen und wird dabei von Detective Danny Witwer (Colin Farell) gejagt. Er will herausfinden, ob die Precogs sich irren können und möchte verhindern das er den Mord begeht.
Was mir nicht gefählt ist das Bild in einigen Stellen. Die ersten halbe Stunde ca und zwischen durch auch mal wieder ist das Bild sehr hell und der Hintergrund auch und das sieht nicht schön aus. Es gibt einige Effekte die nicht gut gealtert sind. Es gibt einige Szen die in anderen Medien auch Verwendung finden. In Detroit Become Human ist die Art wie der drogensüchtige Detective Beweise sammelt ähnlich, genauso wie der Charakter John Anderton. Die Szene, wo John blind ist finde ich sehr gut gemacht da sie auch realistisch gemacht wurde.Der Film setzt seinen Humor gut ein und es ist nicht zu viel davon Vorhanden das es nervt oder unpassend wirkt. Ich finde den Film gut, aber es gibt bessere Filme im Science-Fiction Genre.
