one of the most complex films that is still enjoyable as a blockbuster

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2016)

Steven Spielberg Directs another classical film after his A.I fails to deliver the high expectation set by his previous body of work. Minority Report is like a reminder film that he is still one of the best directors of all time.
Spielberg sets Minority Report in the near future of 2054, in which the technology is advanced, but not far-fetched. Cars can drive themselves (which is pretty much what they can do today. Google car) and ride up elevators, computers come with holograms as a user interface, and stores recognize you from your eyeball scan. As all science fiction fans know, however, the genre is not about technology but about ideas. The big idea for Minority Report is based on a short story by the venerable Philip K. Dick. In this future, there is a "pre-crime" unit in the police force, which revolves around three psychics who are able to see violent crimes before they occur. These visions are projected in a flat screen panel and manipulated by detectives with the grace of a symphony conductor. Equipped with futuristic stun guns, jet packs, and search robots, these cops then arrest and intern the criminals before the crimes are committed.
Spielberg, with Janusz Kaminski, his cinematographer for many films, have crafted a visually stunning movie. The special effects are seamlessly incorporated of the world they created.
Tom Cruise does a fantastic job of playing the lead. He is becoming one of the best sci-fi stars around, nearly all of his futuristic films are not only box office successful but also are extremely enjoyable and fan loved.
The film is just delight to watch, and has enormous play back value. It is definitely one of the films to own on either DVD, Blu ray or Digital copy
