yawn

Rating: 1/10 (25 August 2008)

The combination of the big names Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise turned Minority Report into a predictable futuristic thriller that comes nowhere near Bladerunner, for example, in creating atmosphere and threat. The addition of humor and wacky characters sinks the feeling of a bleak future because Spielberg wanted to make entertainment for the whole family.
Minority Report is full of things to impress people who are impressed by Tom Cruise. He is a big star but not much of an actor. He is a big boy in a big boy's action adventure. The best thing in the film is Samantha Morton. That's it.
Too much product placement. All that money and it's still not a classic thriller. Steven Spielberg makes big expensive films that are supposed to become blockbusters. This film was probably a big hit but it will just be remembered as a Tom Cruise vehicle. Lame.
