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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 07/14/2022
It’s colder and more calculating than much of Spielberg’s oeuvre, and is all the better for it. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 02/04/2023
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. Go to Full Review
Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) 01/31/2023
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. Go to Full 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. Go to Full Review

crystal z @crystalzl 1d Minority report is a sci-fi movie that is directed by Steve Spielberg. Tom Cruise playing the protagonist John Anderson I thought the movie was teeth clinching intense and very interesting. It genuinely has you thinking whether people really control their own choice or is it just supposed to happen. The movie uses three siblings that can see the future of what crimes will happen. It's based on John who is a police officer. John really believed in a system that he thought would save people's lives until one day he was accused of a crime that he was going to commit. John didn't know what to think he just wanted to prove his innocence he starts to question whether the future is already decided or can the outcome change John grow from the situation. at first, he trusted the system without doubting it but at the end he learns to not rely on technology this movie is a 10 out of 10 and I would definitely recommend! See more Bryant H. @Bryant.J.Hollins Dec 8 Spielberg proves again why he is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. This thrilling sci-fi action is accompanied by compelling characters, strong writing, and an engaging story that keeps the viewers on their toes. All in all, this is one of Spielbergs best films. A film which deserves to be seen by all, not only now, but in the foreseeable future. See more Mori S Dec 2 My impression on this Sci-fi Action movie was shocking, The amount of amazement I received was based on everyone's performance and the way Tom cruise character made it more realistic.The whole plot was about precrime, this precrime was known as an industry that used People known as precogs who Which predicted the murder of someone before it even occurred.One thing you can tell from the film is that the theme is mainly about destiny and fate, This comes due to the fact of the precogs and the will of human life. Another thing you can see in such a great film is, The main protagonist john starts to grow and develop his form character during the events of him trying to find out another path or to say another part of the future he doesn't see. Furthermore I recommend this Sci-fi film for anyone interested in Such amazing story and development, From this film comes interesting words some of the characters use that could as well be a point into an aspect of life. See more Darcy J Nov 8 solid. nothing crazy, good for a family movie night See more Tyler G Oct 22 The visuals are ambitious, the twists are effective, and the first 25 minutes is irresistable. The gritty world feels somewhat out of place with the Spielbergisms- the yoga scene, the jetpack cooking burgers, etc. The tone is muddled. Sadly, it got a lot of the surveillance, Phillip C. Dick dysotpian technology correct, but basically none of the advanced infrastructure exists now. A very interesting watch. The spiders scanning eyes scene was excellent. Lois Smith was wonderful. See more Griffith J @griffithxjohnson Oct 4 The premise is so unique & thought provoking as it weaves high concept sci fi with grounded politics of law & order. It definitely looks like a product of its time with visuals that did not age well. The high contrast lightning of white & blue is overdone but brings some really cool shots. There’s some quirkiness that isn’t unwarranted but ends up undercutting the serious tone. Cruise is an action star with many awesome moments from him as he drives the film with his charisma & emotion. See more Read all reviews
