In an age where scifi becomes less brainy and more action-packed, comes this surprisingly clever, well-directed and visually interesting flick. A true delight for genre-fans. There are some eye-rolling moments (get it?). But the moment you think you have it all figured out, the film surprises you with wonderful twists and turns. Glued to the seat, until the very end.

Visually it's a pretty impressive film for sure. I don't think that Tom Cruise is a great actor but he's certainly not a bad actor by any means and, as usual, he does a good job in this film. I was disappointed that Neal McDonough's character didn't get more screen time however. Anyhow, it's an alright action movie with a distinct visual style that I was pretty impressed with. Nothing great but still worth checking out if you have the time.

I'm actually of fan of some of Spielberg's more ambitious, but less regarded work, and I include this in that category. This is a very exciting movie, that has a highly creative, but not unbelievable version of the future, and it also deals with an interesting moral question.

One of Spielberg's best. It's not without problems (Precrime going national would be impossible) but the movie rarely gives you pause to reflect on such things until afterward. It's hard not to get caught up in the film noir tone (thanks largely to Scott Frank's script), or its convincing vision of the future. It's got great action sequences, a strong cast and a story that rachets up the intensity all the way to the end. Beautiful style, though Kaminski's going a bit heavy on the bloom lighting.

Underrated and overlooked in Spielberg's filmography, Minority Report had me gripped from the very beginning. It lacks the refinement of his period prestige pieces from the 2000s, but it more than makes up for it with a beautifully twisting plot and excellent noir sensibilities. The meditation on determinism versus free will says a lot about surveillance in this modern age, and the worldbuilding makes the future seem not too terribly distant from the modern world.

The depiction of the future in Minority Report is vivid and largely convincing, with Spielberg even showing a long-dormant flair for creating tension and the grotesque. However, the film has numerous flaws, including a twist scene ripped straight from LA Confidential and a contrived resolution. Still the closest Spielberg has got to his glory days in some time.

Is Spielberg the right vessel for Philip K. Dick? I think no. Everything except the illegal doctor felt to clean, there wasn't the contrast between the clean and the dirty that, IMO, is important to Dick's work. Also some of the visuals aged awkwardly. That said, everything (including Spielberg's direction) was pretty good, the story is classic style PKD, and, despite dragging in a couple parts, is fun throughout.

I pretty much always love Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise on their own, so it's only natural that I love when they pair up, especially in a sci-fi universe as imaginative as this. It's not either of their *best* movies, but it's definitely still got a special place in my heart.

Second only to Raiders of the Lost Ark in my Spielberg rankings. It's visually magnificent, wonderfully acted with intensity and commitment from everyone, completely suspenseful, hugely imaginative, has a few killer action scenes, and doesn't fall into easy narrative traps (his son is dead, the killer will never be found, period - brilliant!). It's like a sci-fi version of The Fugitive.

Some of it is still awesome (namely PKD's vision of the future and Spielberg and Co.'s expansion of this world), but the plot is less than amazing, the humor and the special effects are somewhat dated, and Samantha Morton needs to chill.

This falls somewhere between mediocre thriller and sci-fi masterpiece. It's got elements of both including some cliche plot twists and disappointing character depth mixed with a really unique concept and fine attention to detail. It has to be given some extra credit for originality. Now days summer blockbusters are almost all sequels and reboots of old franchises or remakes.

Minority Report is another great adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story to the big screen. I tend to harp on movies that are too long. I think it is a problem in recent Hollywood movies but this movie was long but it was paced perfectly and it kept the audience engaged the whole time. Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise. I don't have anything bad to say. Colin Farrell is pretty forgettable. Standouts like Stormare and von Sydow are wonderful in this movie. I've seen this a few times and will see it again too

This is certainly no Blade Runner, nor even Total Recall, but once it takes off after about 30 minutes of relatively dull setup it becomes a compelling cyberpunk action-adventure. There are flaws, namely the precog paradox and some huge plot holes, but it manages to be a fairly enjoyable movie. In spite of the strange love-or-hate thing going on with this one, I feel indifferent enough to have fun with it.

Great movie. Jew did good directing this time, fabulous camera, scenography, editing. Great script. It is based on Phillip K Dick short story with same name. Not exactly the same, cause Dick's story isn't about a good moral man. And it not ends with happyend like in the movie. But nevertheless, great story, intense, watchful.

Maybe it could have been more sci-fiy, and less action for my taste, but what's the fun in that? Also, my DVD copy of the film was terrible. Not sure if that's how the film was shot, but it was super grainy, and while the attempt was to make a dystopian world, it came across off kinda shitty. Also, wish Spielberg would stop using the HUGE GLARE in every scene, where a character's face is obscured by a big ol' glob of light.

Minority Report is one of the few Steven Spielberg films I've never particularly cared for. There are lots of interesting ideas, the overall direction is impressive and both visually and tonally this looks and feels original. But from the outset and throughout I was at no point wholly onboard with the premise or the plot. Tom Cruise carries the film and he adds the star quality to keep interest. And the set pieces are all enjoyable. But concept wise I struggle to invest myself in this film.

There are all kinds of themes (seeing, surveillance, advertising, law, revenge), yet the ideas animating the plot are silly rather than thought-provoking; Spielberg wants to create a “dark” atmosphere and “dystopian” setting, yet cannot prevent himself from infecting the whole thing with sentimentality. Some of the acting by the supporting cast seems a bit exaggerated, some of the light relief seems jarring, the colour-filtering makes for unappealing images, and the Williams score adds nothing.

A bit of a difficult film to rank. The premise is strong, surprise surprise that's because there's one of the greats in sci-fi writing behind it. The movie itself however seems to carry some similarities with the later released I, Robot: take an iconic writers vision, scramble it up into the regular Hollywood omelette and serve on a piece of flawless looking toast, the kind of bread that's produced for looks and never tastes as good as home baked.

Eh, it's okay. As an action film it works, with slick production design and several large set pieces that only occasionally induce a roll of the eyes. The film initially touches on the more interesting moral and social implications of its "pre-crime" plot, only to abandon those themes in favor of Spielbergian character schmaltz and predictable revelations. It's not all it could be, but it's... adequate.

The futuristic society of Minority Report is depicted very well indeed. I also enjoyed the action sequences, and Tom Cruise -- whom I generally don't like very much -- did a good job. The movie does, however, have some well-known and much discussed plot holes, which I won't go into any specifics about here. It serves as yet more evidence that time travel (of which pre-cog could be said to be a specific variety) is nearly impossible to get to make sense.

A tight, twisty, satisfying sci-fi movie. The story is rich in thought and in theme. I owe much of what I love about this film to Dick's source material, but I also love the look and feel of the film. One of my favorite depictions of the near future (second only to Children of Men). This is one of the few great sci-fi films to come out in the last ten years.

Spielberg still amazes me. Sci/fi or historical, He seems to pull if off (sometimes) and here he did it pretty well too. Cruise is good as is some of the supporting cast and it's an entertaining fantasy movie about a man who is being somewhat framed. Looked cool.

Dumb action, a shaky plot, and Cruise's lousy acting combine into a fine unintentional comedy. I laughed out loud a good dozen times, which is quite rare for me. John doing drugs and speaking to his dead kid! The "what-if" scene at the house! The cartoonish bad guy planting a gun right right under a spotlight. "Did the house have an open door?!" The magic glove scenes with the classical music... dear Lord. Hard to imagine how this was considered "thought provoking" back in the day.

An interesting sci-fi flick with beautiful stylistic features. It could be said that Tom Cruise manages to even at least adequately convince in the genre of sci-fi, where here he manages to more than just do it. He has a believable frantic pace about him that suits this kind of genre. His acting is on par with the story, which is both captivating and gripping.

The first hour and 45 are awesome. Great world-building. Murky and atmospheric in parts. Morton is great. Then the last act happens, and it's all too feel-goody and the catharsis doesn't feel deserved. I really believe this could've been one of Spielberg's best if he had thrown the sentimentality out of the window and went with a more bittersweet/tragic ending like A.I.

This did not interest me and I don't remember it very well. I might be wrong but my impression was that the set-up contains a huge ethical problem that was never really explored. We seem to be bogged down proving whether these clones or whatevers predictions are accurate or not, and finding out they can be manipulated, instead of asking whether citizens should be arrested based on predictions at all.

Minority Report is a really good sci-fi action film with a mind and with a lot of intense moments. The only real problem I had with it was how the main plot is set-up, but that's quickly forgotten about when I realized that I was on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating each scene. Pretty much everything works here, and it's an incredibly fun film to watch, thanks to the fantastic technology not getting in the way of its human element.

I expected the zillionth banal man-on-the-run thriller, but Spielberg imbued this film with an intelligence and aesthetic that transforms it into something much better. The film still telegraphs its biggest plot points and under-utilizes its supporting characters, but I found myself very impressed with the amount of thought the writers put into the screenplay. For such a strange and abstruse film, I commend its internal consistency.

Minority Report is definitely well made, but at the same time I felt disconnected from it. The movie focuses so much on premise and plot that the characters and their motivations feel underdeveloped.

For all of the futuristic movies I've watched recently, Minority Report does actually feel futuristic. Sure, there are some things that make you amused, watching it in the current day (20 years later!), but it does a pretty good job of building up a world of the future. The plot is very compelling and while I was laughing my ass off at the 'sick stick's that the cops had, or them zooming around on jetpacks, I liked the tension and the characters a lot. Not perfect, but solid.

Viewed September 28, 2016. Spielberg's visceral technothriller ended up being a lot sillier than I expected it to be. It's just a couple of steps removed from Terry Gilliam, really. There are parts of this that are really great, the smeared, blown out visual style is a fitting way to introduce a world just slightly different from our own, and Cruise is in full-on movie star mode, which is always nice. It's good stuff, but definitely not a favorite of mine.
