Based on a short story by the late Philip K. Dick, this science fiction-thriller reflects the writer's familiar preoccupation with themes of concealed identity and mind control. Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton, a Washington, D.C. detective in the year 2054. Anderton works for "Precrime," a special unit of the police department that arrests murderers before they have committed the actual crime. Precrime bases its work on the visions of three psychics or "precogs" whose prophecies of future

A highly effective thriller whose futuristic panoramas rival those of A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
The director creates a vision of the future that's richly detailed and fascinating.
My own minority report is that it stinks.
Final Report: Good, yes; great, no.
Shallow, noisy and pretentious.
A movie of haunting images and mindless thrills.
Not simply Steven Spielberg's most prescient sci-fi work but also one of his finest.
Violent sci-fi detective movie isn't for kids.
Vigorously entertaining and tremendously weird, "Minority Report" feels like a vintage Action Comics adventure spiked with acid. It's an uncommonly melancholy blockbuster about demons ruthlessly determining our fate even as we relentlessly flee them.
One of the few films I've seen so far this year that I would recommend and it is one to see on the big screen.
While the way in which Minority Report presents these ideas makes them far more incredible and fantastical, it's their truth...that turns the film into something far more dark and sinister.
It's fun, it's exciting, it's shrewd, and it may even be--a scary thought--prescient. (Blu-ray Edition)
...a stylish, thoughtful, and thought-provoking future-noir thriller.
This has to be one of Spielberg's best ever...
The most fun a Spielberg film has been for a long while.
The most exciting piece of work Spielberg has delivered in ages.
It is exciting to watch a director who is in such complete control of storytelling and vision.
A roller coaster ride with an unusual amount of grit.
Hugely ambitious and wildly successful in parts, only a tricky third act trips up a master director clearly enjoying himself in virgin territory. Nonetheless this stands as the best future noir since Blade Runner.
The fashionably fussy, funky veneer may convince some that the film's serious, but it's finally another chase pic, murky in detail, muddled in ideology and strangely predictable in dramatic thrust.
Despite its moldy story twists, this Steven Spielberg spectacular ranks as the best thing he's done since the Indiana Jones films...
If you enjoyed Cruise's Mission: Impossible, multiply it by five!
The movie's ponderousness is relieved only by Samantha Morton's uncanny portrayal of the psychic Agatha and by Lois Smith's turn as Dr. Hineman...
Minority Report is Spielberg's visual masterpiece.
A typical 30's style detective drama dressed in shiny aluminum so's you'd think it was the future ... but hey, that aluminum is really shiny.

Spielberg's futuristic thriller 'Minority Report' is devilishly original and wickedly entertaining. Great performances surround the film, but the script and story are supremely entertaining. The effects are vivid and the camera work is fun. This is solid entertainment from the future.
