cross"Tek War" with "The Fugitive", and you get Minority Report

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2002)

As good as this film is, it is laced with feelings that you've already seen all of this before.(Its called Movietime Dija Vue) its when you watch a film for the very first time and because of it's similarities with other films , you feel like you've already seen it.--you even seen the plot twist coming. Thats how I felt when I watched Minority Report. The only thing I didn't see coming was Tom Cruise' bald shaven head (somebody get that boy some Rogain).
Dispite all the similarities with other films, I have to give this film its proper credit. The special effect are so good in this film, that I wouldn't be the least surprised if it beats out Star Wars:Episode 2 at the oscars for best special effects.The Special effects in this film are that GOOD. I've seen many other Not-so-distant future films have similar effects and similar digital-computurized futuristic landscapes.(examples: Tek War, Demolition Man, A.I., Gattaca, the list goes on)but never have I seen it done on the same size and scale as Minority Report.(the geneticaly altered plants - I thought that was a bit silly). This film is amazing to watch. The chase scene on a futuristic super-highway is one of the best chase scenes ever!
Although there are aspects of this film that are both groundbreaking and original, you still get the feeling that you've been here before in other films. In many ways this film Paralells "The Fugitive-1993" with the theme of an innocent man on the run. However, on many levels it also paralells those "Tek War" made for TV movies that the Fox network produced during the mid-1990's, with the theme of a good cop addctied to substance abuse,framed by greedy politcians,so he can be made into a public example,to win public support so they can get legislation passed. (Tek War-starring William Shatner and Greg Evigan, was also set in the future, and featured many similar graphics and themes as Minority Report).
I also thought the ending of this film was too anti-climactic I give this film 7 out of 10 stars
