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.

Fabrícia F O drama futurista e inteligente de ficção-científica que questiona o poder e o controle do sistema sem tornar a experiência do cinéfilo decepcionante. Show de ação e originalidade que jamais perdem o timing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Twiggy H Cinematically great; actually quite good for a sci-fi action film; great acting - but not so great for the notion of the basis of the film writing. Obviously, as a fictional piece it (and the entire point of the fictional genre) is that it is strictly unrealistic and undoable, so here the 'not so great' i'm writing about is of the stand-point of arresting and punishing to a 'pre-crime', fortunately it does acknowledge this itself within the movie.. but the one many flaw it forgot (but i guess in order to actually make the movie) was that no organisation would ever spend so much time and money, going against all legal law and human ethics, to build an entire premise and technology etc etc especially that relied on actual humans contained in tanks of fluid (guessing against their own will) for the sake of something that was both immorally wrong and totally illegal to everyone involved. P.s- what is it with some sci-fi film producers with having so many ridiculously high-rise block flats? Pretty certain people aren't immortal and having kids every flipping year *lol* Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Conrad C While the central concept is the stuff quality science fiction is made of, the occasional extra bit of weirdness waters down the impression. The idea behind this film takes some time for the viewer to work out, but once you do you can sit back and enjoy, especially the Tom Cruise action bits. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Jonah K pre-crime is a nice thought, but we haven’t even figured out how to properly handle post-crime. more importantly, why wasn’t his name just anderson? whose decision was it to name him anderton? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Carlos F El concepto es muy bueno, sin embargo el potencial no es bien desarrollado. El guion y la historia no desarrollan el concepto de predecir las muertes y las consecuencias sociales que esto genera. Esta muy alejada de la realidad, de lo que haría el gobierno por obtener la tecnología y lo irreal que es que seres humanos sean los que tengan visiones. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review 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.
