Memorable, crazy movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

After years of passing it over, I am almost finished Minority Report on Netflix.. and what a ride! Cruise is excellent in this futuristic look at crime prevention in the year 2054, wherein teams of officers use the 'visions' of human 'pre-cogs' to anticipate & halt muderous actions. The time frame seems tight at the outset, meaning the team may not make it in time, which of course, adds to the suspense. We learn that the murder rate in Washington DC has dropped to zero since inception, but a law enforcement group led by Colin Farrel (under the direction of a highly-placed official) are opposed to the continuation and expansion of the so-called 'pre-cog' tool.Ethical issues are raised, e.g. how can you arrest someone who has the intent to commit a crime, but gets stopped before the actual felony? Can the 'pre-cogs' get it wrong? Cruise, our man in charge, feels the system is just, and foolproof, but soon finds himself 'accused', and fleeing apprehension. Later in his flight, he manages to secure a pre-cog for assistance, who directs his escape with specific instructions, I.e. buy an umbrella, stop here, etc. To a shocked lady passing by, she whispers, He knows-don't go home. This reminds me of the early flight of Neo in the Matrix, when the 'agents' come to arrest him, but he is hearing a narrative-escape plan from Laurence Fishburn, as he runs.Terrific PG (mostly) entry in a sci-fi flick directed by Spielberg way back in 2002, perhaps perilously close to being forgotten in the wake of the high octane Mission Impossible series. Well worth watching.

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).

Brain storming... Just thanks for did it. We really appreciate it. What a future. What a technology and others. Just when you watch this movie, time by time you see things that make you to think and you like it. I like such these films. Hopefully, you will make new movie. And i want to add that, maybe we can change automobiles with helicopters. maybe.

Before they joined forces to give sci-fi fans their hugely disappointing version of War Of The Worlds, Spielberg and Cruise worked together on Minority Report, a near-future tale based on a short story by Philip K. Dick in which violent crimes can be predicted and prevented from occurring, the perpetrator intercepted before they can carry out the deed. Star Cruise plays pre-crime cop John Anderton, who finds himself on the run after it is predicted that he himself will commit a murder.The good news is that Minority Report is a lot more enjoyable than the duo's H.G.Wells debacle, with an engrossing murder mystery plot, lots of great visuals, excellent production design, and some well executed and extremely fun action set-pieces, all of which help detract from the story's inevitable paradoxical issues and Spielberg's occasional, frustratingly unrestrained direction (Cruise leaping from car roof to car roof on a towering vertical road stretches plausibility a bit too far, but at least it's not 'nuke the fridge' bad).7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for the 'sick stick' a police baton that makes the victim projectile vomit.
