Ugh.... Same as Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds, just read the short story. If you want some good Phillip K. Dick adaptations watch Blade Runner and Total Recall. (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, respectively)
A good movie, that leaves you thinking. The futuristic elements were quite cool and believable.There is a bit of a paradox in the movie though regarding the pre-cogs vision about Anderton killing Crowe. And there were some unintentionally funny moments which made me laugh...although I don't know if they were meant to...

Minority Report, I would say, is one of the best science fiction films to be released over the past twenty-five years, and that is certainly no small feat given some of the competing films released over that time-span.

The movie starts with a bag; a crime is about to be committed and its being foreseen by three "Pre-Cogs," psychic beings ( human) whose visions … more
I can't believe some of the bad reviews for this film. Yes, just about any film that explores time, time travel, the future, etc. is going to have flaws in logic. It is impossible to travel through time, change the future, etc. If you think about it too much, you can always come up with a flaw. If the flaws require deep thought and don't just leap at you as obvious, I have no problem suspending my disbelief and going with where the storyteller wants to take me.Spielberg tells a great story here. … more
Pros: Good premise. Cons: Dull, uninspired action and Cruise does little to help. The Bottom Line: Another good premise wasted. Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot. The threat of violent crime has sadly become a reality for far too many in our society. Compounding this issue is the fact that the nations capitol, Washington D.C., has a homicide rate that has grown steadily over the last few … more
