A Review

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2002)

It's important to note that I thought A.I. was a piece of trash, and that made the stunning Minority Report even better. Never had I been more disapointed after seeing A.I., and I'm glad to say that, despite the astronomically high hopes I had for this movie, it was better than I expected in every regard. I don't think I've ever been so engrossed in a movie since I saw Jaws on TBS when I was five. Tom Cruise gives an excellent performance as Anderton, and Spielberg shows off his genius behind the lens in almost every shot of the film. The story is genius, with enough twists to keep you guessing, and the score by John Williams is a brilliant pair with the tense, mysterious story taking place on screen. Perhaps I was just so happy to see Spielberg making something worthwhile, but I enjoyed Minority Report better than any other film this year, and probably this decade. Go see this film now. ****
