I'm sure I'm in the Minority.

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2002)

This movie was okay. The tech stuff at the start of the movie was really interesting but it fell back into the same stuff we've seen before. After the gadgets the story was the same as before. One of the main problems was that the issue was only a personal one not one that had any greater social significance. A simple example is that Anderton did not, to any great degree that I could tell, question the fact that what had happened to him could be happening and could have happened to others. The process of law that he was so gung ho to be leader of turned around and bit him in the ass. He never questions(looks inside of himself)the ramifications of this problem. Anyone involved in such a sweeping law of justice would have to question what he has been doing. Examples of movies that reach outside of just the individual are Matrix, Fight Club, Blade Runner. These films find the connection from the personal to the community. They also show characters questioning the 'idea' of their problem. Example, in Blade Runner, Harrison Ford's character ends up questioning the definition of what it is to be human. Film's like Minority Report are great when your young(audience and filmmaker) but the really great movies capture all ages with a deeper meaning; ie Matrix, Blade Runner.
