Summary: RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN to get this movie!
Review: Tom Cruise in the future of the United States, three psychics, cool looking cars from the year 2054, and a crime-free D.C. . . . all in all, a stunning movie that left me gaping in absolute awe of what was happening.
Despite the fact that it could never happen in the real world, this movie describes how genetically grown, drug-induced psychics show crimes before they happen, giving the police an opportunity to stop murder, rape, and crimes of passion before they occur. The only legal flaw is that the people arrested through this system have not, in fact, committed any crime, and by the Constitution, criminals are innocent until proven guilty.
But past all that, WHAT AN AMAZING MOVIE!
Tom Cruise portays an officer in the perfect crime-stopping system who is forseen murdering a man he doesn't even know, yet. His next move is to try to find out who set him up, which ultimately creates a complicated chain of events, including a morbidly amusing scene in which Cruise chases his own eyeballs down a ramp.
Also delivering an amazing performance is Samantha Morton, the female psychic Agatha, who sees John Asterton (Cruise)commit the murder.
Morton shows that she can deliver a range of extreme emotion and stress, desperation, fear, exhaustion, confusion, and simple bewilderment of the everyday world.
Reminiscent of an episode of CSI, with no actual crime occurring! A wonderful choice for your DVD collection, with a plot thick enough to strangle an elephant!

Summary: A DVD from Dreamworks is like watching cheese age.
Review: No need to look very far for the DVd extras, there are plenty of them on this DVd set, but it will not make you like the movie any better then the mess it aleardy was. Poor screenplay, Tom Cruise was in it, too much CGI effects, Tom Cruise was in it, poor casting of actors, Tom Cruise was in it, Spielberg's showing us his dark side of film making here was way out of character (what ever happened to his youthful oppotismism on life and his film work)?
It's sorely missed here.

Summary: MediaGab Review
Review: Tom Cruise stars in Minority Report, directed by none other then Steven Speilberg. A futuristic science-fiction movie about the government testing a new tactic in crime fighting called precrime. Precrime is the ability to capture vision of the future from three twins that can envision the future of murders. The system was perfect until it envisioned Tom Cruise murdering some unknown person. But instead of turning himself in he runs and tries to prove his innocence.The plot was solid except for a lingering question that I still can not answer. The technology in the movie was by far the coolest part. to the way the computers were to the 3D projections. The cars that could scale up and down vertical buildings to the rotar-less helicopters.

Summary: Spielberg's Still Got It
Review: Just a year ago or so, I was wondering if Spielberg could still direct. He had been producer of so many films, some of which he had hardly anything to do with, that I wondered if he still had it. This movie shows that he does. Some imperfections and a little long, but generally a very good show. Some of the ideas and effects seem derived from "The Matrix", but in a good way and not too obvious. A good cross between action, drama and suspense and worth viewing.

Summary: "Everybody Runs."
Review: "The Minority Report" is another example of what happens when humans try to play God. It also underscores the repeated lesson that humans are always subject to err, even when they craft the most efficient of inventions. In this case, that "invention" is Precrime, in which police officers, with the assistance of three "pre-cogs," arrest people BEFORE they murder. This system must be working well, because D.C. has been homicide-free for six years. But is the system entirely foolproof? And can we completely trust those who are behind the controls? And how certain are we that Precrime can't be abused to set someone up as a criminal when they really haven't done anything wrong? These questions are brought to light and are addressed with varying degrees of success in this film directed by Steven Speilberg. Of course, Tom Cruise gets top billing as the cop who joined the force following a tragedy that occured six years earlier. He delivers his best work in what is really an underrated performance. Colin Farrell and the ever-trusty Max Von Sydow also hold their own impressively in their respective roles. And the special effects are thrilling, and, thankfully, are not overdone to PlayStation extremes. In its 2.5 hours, "The Minority Report" kept me interested and attentive, though Speilberg has certainly made better films. But considering the dreck that often comes in the form of shameless sequels, lame remakes, or comic book regurgitations, "The Minority Report" is a well-above average summer flick that picks at the brain just as well as it thrills. In my school of cinema, it gets a solid B.

Summary: Spielberg's Best in a Decade
Review: The story is profound and absorbing, and Cruise has never been better. I love that it was sci-fi but not too far into the future to believe. There's a good murder mystery in the center and lots of futuristic thrills along the way. What's not to love?

Summary: great flick --- unfortunately has Tom Cruise
Review: This is a great story -- what if in the year 2054, the goverment has an experiment that uses "precognitive" people whose sole purpose is to stay unconscious and foretell crimes, then have a special "pre-crime" police force arrest the perpetrators BEFORE the crime is committed? This eradicates homicide in the District of Columbia (which, in the early 1990s, was known as the Murder Capitol of the World.) However --- where do human rights begin and where do they end? The criminals have not technically committed the crime for which they are arrested, and there is no subsequent trial. And what about the rights of the "pre-cogs", as they are called, to live a real life? It's interesting, except the aging Tom Cruise is there playing yet another variation of his role in Top Gun. It is so cloying now to see Mr. Unibrow-and-Queasy-Smile dress all in black and pretend to be some type of policeman whose job involves a lot of running. ugh. Should have had Russell Crowe or Ed Norton, just to mix it a bit!

Summary: I cant believe spielberg made this movie
Review: When i first saw this movie I was hoping it would put me to sleep because it was 11 o'clock at night and the begining was normal enough for speilberg movie (set in the future lots of cool looking toys) so i figuered not another AI (Artificial Intelligence) which was horrible by the way. but was i wrong in the begining minutes we learned about the pre congs who saw future murders and other serious crimes. And from there their was so many twists and turns I had to watch it again to fully understand the movie. But if you see one movie this month see The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers but if you watch two see Minority Report. Who am I kidding I mean honestly who watches only one movie a month. So watch both.
