I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

The script was originally adapted as a sequel to Total Recall (1990) in that was set in the same universe, the main character was Douglas Quaid, and the three Precogs were psychic mutants from Mars. This script was eventually tossed out - the only original element remaining in the final film is the sequence in the car factory, an idea that Spielberg loved. In the original short story, "The Minority Report" (1956) the protagonist John Anderton is short, fat, and balding, yet here we get action man Cruise, up against the young Federal agent Farrell, who later appeared in another Dick adaptation of Total Recall (2012).

I may be in the minority (lol bad puns), but I was less than impressed with the film "Minority Report". I wasn't bothered by the fact that the movie deviates from the short story of the same name by Philip K Dick. I was looking forward to seeing how the concepts of the source materials could be explored in new and interesting ways as well as with more action scenes. Unfortunately, what we got was a standard action film that pretended to be more intelligent than it actually was. John Anderton (played by Tom Cruise) is a detective who works for a special agency called "Precrime", where he helps prevent crimes before they actually happen using the predictions of a group of psychics known as "Pre-Cogs". The movie briefly touches on the moral and ethical principles of such an organization arresting people who haven't actually committed any crimes when Anderton finds his own name selected as a future killer. From that point on, Anderton is hunted by the organization he used to lead in some of the worst chase scenes I've ever seen. In an attempt to make Anderton look cool, they make everyone else look incompetent. To prove his innocence, Anderton attempts a ridiculously convoluted plan to capture one of the Pre-cogs in order to prove his innocence. This fails and ends up having no impact on the plot other than having the pre-cog become a character. Eventually a conspiracy by the agency is exposed and Anderton manages to clear his name by proving that the Precrime unit was a stupid idea. This whole movie just talks in circles, making simple ideas seem complex and deep. Most of the scenes serve as nothing more than showing off the futuristic environment, where you can't help but think that the future has way too many unnecessary advancements (talking cereal boxes?). Minority Report talks a big game, but fails to deliver anything of real value other than the aesthetics. This movie defines style over substance. Don't waste your time with this trash. There are better action and Science Fiction Films out that deserve more attention than this one.

Sorry, but not even a minority of people could like this absolutely miserable film.With that red ball rolling down, I thought I was back at a ski ball center in Coney Island of many years ago.Pre-crime? Total elimination of crime due to the pre-cogs who can predict when a murder shall happen. This is absolutely totally preposterous, confusing, annoying and too much for the average movie goer to understand.I know that we have all aged but Max Von Sydow is totally unrecognizable here in his villainous-boss role.It takes us forever to realize that Tom Cruise's young son has been long-dead and that swimming pool scene was eerie and just a little too much to take, but that describes this film as well.
