Involved, Intelligent, Incredible!

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2002)

I just got home from Steven Spielberg's new film, Minority Report. I loved it. The movie was absolutely incredible. Tom Cruise, Max Von Sydow and Colin Farrel all present phenomenal performances. The special effects were fantastic. The plot was intricate and anxiety ridden. It was definitely one of the best films I have ever seen. The story(by Philip K. Dick, who also wrote the story for Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi cult classic, Blade Runner) is of a future where murders can be predicted before they occur by three gifted individuals known as "Precog's". The Washington D.C. pre-crime department has taken advantage of these three persons to help them arrest might-be-murderer's. The brilliance and flaw of the system lie therein...even though these "precog's" say they will, will the person actually commit the crime. Is it worth not taking any chances and accidentally arresting some of the wrong people, or is it better to allow so many more murders to occur. This and plenty of thought provoking questions are revealed throughout all of Minority Report's twisting. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great action film, or an intelligent, complex masterpiece.
