Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Minority Report does offer a few issues to ponder, and given the mindlessness of most summer action specials, it’s something of an intellectual feast, even if it’s all hors d’oeuvres. Rated: 3/4 Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Victoria Luxford BBC.com Certainly one of Tom Cruise’s best (films), and I think one of Steven Spielberg’s best too…. So much fun to watch, a really intriguing thriller. Rated: 5/5 Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) It’s colder and more calculating than much of Spielberg’s oeuvre, and is all the better for it. Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand This is a portrait of a society that has passively bartered away civil rights and left much of the population in squalor, living in slums and surviving in the cracks of a surveillance society that has no use for citizens it can’t monetize. Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Maybe the precogs could foresee a worse filmmaker than Steven Spielberg sometime in the far future, but right now, as far as I’m concerned, he’s got no challengers. Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The visionary quality of Minority Report's cinematic world is matched solely by its endless influence on both film and real-world technology since its release. Rated: 4/4 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph C Another spielberg blockbuster in the projection booth. Spielberg never misses with this science fiction based film based on a short story from phillip k dick. it's a story of redemption, invention and relevation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Andrew A How can you not love this Sci-Fi thriller? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Christian K Disheveled, buzzcut Cruise is kind of bringing it in this mostly silly, inconsistent, and ugly film. I do think, eventually, the desaturated lighting becomes too much of a headache to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Monica P Minority Report by Steven Spielburg starring Tom Cruise made me feel fascinated and amazed. Minority Report is a Sci-Fi genre. In Minority Report the protagonist grew as trying to prove his innocence over something he was reported guilty for. And figuring out the truth about what really happened with the death of Anne Lively. The antagonist in Minority Report is Director Lamar Burgess, he claims innocency but in the end the conflict is resolved that he was not proven innocent. I believe you should watch this film its very interesting and has very many good plot twists and will definitely grasp your attention. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Mia A Minority Report” by Steven Spielberg, starring the critically acclaimed Tom Cruise is an emotional Sci-Fi rollercoaster. In this Sci-fi thriller John Anderton (Cruise) is the Chief of the “Pre-crime” division in Washington D.C. in the year 2054. John is a cop who plays by the rules of the system but once he realizes that he will be murder a man he has never met he has no choice but to figure this mystery out. Mid-movie John is faced with a choice which humanizes his character to an extent where you can find yourself relating to him. This film is full of twists and turns and at each point in the movie, you are kept guessing. The director did a great job with portraying each scene and the phenomenally talented actors only made the film better so I cannot recommend this movie enough. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Ariana M Minority Report by Stevn Spielberg made me feel amazed, surprised and astonished. This movie is Sci-Fi because the story is set in a future where a specialized police department called PreCrimes uses advanced technology to arrest individuals before they commit crimes. One important theme in "Minority Report" is the tension between free will and determinism. The PreCrime system is based on the idea that the future is predetermined and can be predicted with absolute certainty. The protagonist, John Anderton, experiences significant growth throughout the film at the beginning, he is a dedicated officer fully committed to the PreCrime system. However, as he is accused of a future crime himself, he is forced to question the system he once staunchly supported.The antagonist is Chief John Burgess who frames John Anderton for a future murder to cover up his own crimes and maintain the illusion of Precrime infallibility. I would definitely recommend this movie it offers a thrilling and engaging cinematic experience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
