one of Spielberg's best of late

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2011)

From the opening moments of Minority Report I knew I was going to like this one. After a slew of disappointing Spielberg films, this movie based on a PK Dick story was a great change for the better.
It's year 2054. All crime is nearly eliminated by a select squad of agents who stop bad things from happening "pre-crime". This is achieved by using 3 mutant humans named Pre-cogs. They can see into the future and predict crimes. Then comes the twist. The guy who is heading this pre-crime agency, John Anderton, is himself accused by the pre-cogs of committing a murder in the near future. He must count on the dissenting prediction of the one pre-cog who is the most gifted, Agatha, in the hopes the prophesy of his committing murder is wrong. Tom Cruise plays the role of Anderton well.
The movie is also visionary in its use of hands moving images on screens. The scene with the eye replacement was great. All in all, a good watch if you like sci-fi films that challenge the viewer more than the usual.
