Visually Stunning

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2003)

Minority Report has some of the best special and visual effects I've seen in any movie. It's refreshing to see Max Von Sydow on the big screen again. (What was the last movie he did?) With all the murders going on in the world today, it would be nice if we had the kind of technology they did in the movie and could catch the murderer before he/she struck. It's too bad that in the movie the whole program turns out to be a big joke.
Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report, I believe, were originally supposed to be directed by the late Stanley Kubrick. Steven Spielberg has directed both these movies very well, but if Kubrick had taken a pass on that bomb Eyes Wide Shut and did those two instead, it would have been a great way to finish his short but great career.
