lacks atmosphere

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2015)

This is a film with a good story, which is no surprise being an adaptation of the writer Philip K. Dick's short story 'The Minority Report'. What the movie lacks is an atmosphere which is one of the most important elements of such films. All the futuristic implications of the film comes from gadgets and poorly designed cars. Urban areas doesn't look much different from present day cities and the film doesn't care much about the social developments of people in the 2050s. When this is the case, one expects more about the characters and their psychology but you don't get much out of them either. Behaviors of the precogs sometimes gets distractingly comical. On the good side of the movie it has some humorous moments well placed in good action. This is more of an action film than sci-fi and when you watch it as one, it is an enjoyable action-pursuit movie.
