Essentially under-whelming

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2002)

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg team up for Minority Report,the latest big film from each star respectively.
When Spielberg helms a WW2 film,depicting the horrors of that evil era,he churns out classics like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List.And he has directed some fine good time films as well.Jurassic Park is an undisputable classic.
But MR is simply too far-fetched and uninvolving.In trying to be an intelligent vision of the future,like Blade Runner,it instead simply doesn't make any sense,causing the viewer to lose interest.It wouldn't have been so bad had it been may-be half an hour shorter,but instead it just drones on (especially towards the end) losing more and more credibility as it goes along.
Cruise remains the main name in big budget Summer blockbusters of this ilk,and some of the action sequences are pretty exciting,but otherwise this is merely another case of effects-over-script.**
