Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) Review

This film puts you on the edge from the opening scenes. This storyline is fully tricked out, and takes you on a roller-coaster ride in your mind. Tom Cruise plays the part of a captain of a PreCrime Team that stop murders before they can take place.

But all is not well for him, as he is haunted by the guilt of losing his son, and this was followed by a divorce.

The film is set about 50 years into the future and the transport systems are way cool, and include: complex auto tranport systems, jet back packs and hover craft type military transporters.

Observation is the key to following this film. All is not what is seems to be, the plot is as thick as plots can get. Figuring out the bad guy in this film is almost impossible, because he lies in wait quietly for his victim and is as smooth as a snake in the grass.

This is a top notch sci-fi thriller and it's loaded with high-end special effects, but the stroyline also packs a great punch.

Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) Specifications

Set in the chillingly possible future of 2054, Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is arguably the most intelligently provocative sci-fi thriller since Blade Runner. Like Ridley Scott's "future noir" classic, Spielberg's gritty vision was freely adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick, with its central premise of "Precrime" law enforcement, totally reliant on three isolated human "precogs" capable (due to drug-related mutation) of envisioning murders before they're committed. As Precrime's confident captain, Tom Cruise preempts these killings like a true action hero, only to run for his life when he is himself implicated in one of the precogs' visions. Inspired by the brainstorming of expert futurists, Spielberg packs this paranoid chase with potential conspirators (Max Von Sydow, Colin Farrell), domestic tragedy, and a heartbreaking precog pawn (Samantha Morton), while Cruise's performance gains depth and substance with each passing scene. Making judicious use of astonishing special effects, Minority Report brilliantly extrapolates a future that's utterly convincing, and too close for comfort. --Jeff Shannon
