Minority Report (2002)

Minority Report is a stylish neo- noir science fiction from Steven Spielberg destined to become a classic of the future. Taking place in 2054 it concerns a group of police force which are equipped with the capability to foresee a crime about to happen with the help of three mutated humans called "precogs". Unfortunately for John Anderton (Tom Cruise) as he sets up to work on the next crime about to happen he is horrified to see that the offender is he himself. What follows is a cat and mouse hunt which involves his entire corporation and then some. The visual effects are amazing, and the tone of the film is finely balanced between dreary, rainy grey and futuristic blue. Cruise and Colin Farrell star. Great movie.

Why Agatha's mother (Lively) couldn't understand that her child could save lives when Agatha works for PreCrime?Why Burgess have to kill Agatha's mother? Realistically Burgess could just explain to Agatha's mother how her child is saving lives and Agatha's mother could just accept

Had high hopes about Minority Report. They said it's Spielberg. They said it's one of the best sci-fi movies there is. Both times wasted. Visuals could be better (even taking in consideration the year 2002 and its budget) but it's not the main problem. The problem is the plot itself. It's weak and shows its flaws to you straight from the beginning. After a while you just realize that you don't want to waste two and a half hours of your time on this movie. Save it for something worthful.

Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton in this somewhat lengthy but still really cool sci-fi crime film. I'd say this is one of his best movies, with a mix of awesome visuals and a good story with a solid performance from the lead. This movie reminds me a lot of The Fugitive from 9 years ago, with the constant chasing and mysteries being unravelled as the movie progresses. Spielberg mixes the futuristic time with raw emotion here.The futuristic designs looked pretty noice for a 2002 film and a bit unique, especially with the hover-car designs on those huge highways. Cruise's what- looks-like-a-stylised-Bugatti car was sleek and looked like something you'd think we'd have today but no. The sci-fi nature coincides with Spielberg's previous stuff (Spielberg is an automatic bonus in most cases) and I noticed someone from Band of Brothers (done by Spielberg too) in the movie too as one of Anderton's friends. They did spend a lot (and made a hefty profit), but did not rely on the effects to entertain - the dialogue was paid attention to, thankfully. There's also a hint of politics in the film.Colin Farrell (the mean guy from Fantastic Beasts) performed well as a cocky and young new agent almost trying to bring down the PreCrime unit, later leading the chase for Anderton. The interactions between him and Anderton showed a sort-of rivalry and pursuing Anderton gave Farrell's character (Danny Witwer) a sort of satisfaction (he tries to look for flaws and finds a human one). You almost kinda feel sorry for Anderton, when you see what he has to do, how low he has to go and how he was manipulated. His son is a key point in the movie and he's almost used like a toy for Anderton to grab at. Agatha was, at times, cryptic and annoying, but nonetheless helpful to Anderton in his search for the truth (couldn't think of a less cheesy way to put it). The situation that Anderton creates for the villain (who shall remain unnamed) is crafty, combining genius with passion. The ending was unfortunately a bit out of place, not really following the rest of the film, seeming rushed and understandably a main point of criticism.
