Goofy !

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 2004)

rewrite: Goofy ! I felt MR's tech effects were a hollow and irritatingly amateurish attempt to copy Blade Runner which was immeasurably a better story and also tech presentation than MR. This was a real let down and esp after reading Ebert's and others' glowing reviews. MR never explained what the heck a minority report was either. Just a bit goofy in the overall. Incredible futuristic story line also. From Three Days of the Condor with Von Sydow, we already have seen the finale story line in its full blown presentation. This MR bordered on being a tiny copy of his role in 3 Days. I could recommend this movie but only with taglines of "grade school-blocks level copycat" (the space vehicles were from circa 1925 level of competence) and an overall "goofy." It just wasn't worth it, except for the Agatha actress. Tom was good of course, but Spielberg's, etc storyline and tech effects made it just too goofy for me.
