Movie Info
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

The worst thing about the new Steven Spielberg picture is the title, Minority Report. The best thing about it is pretty much everything else.
Top CriticThough his movie wraps challenging ideas and ingenious visual conceits in a futurist film-noir style, it's pretentious, didactic and intentionally but mercilessly bleak.
High-concept science-fiction escapades often try to impose new ways of seeing, but Spielberg seems intent on blistering our optic nerves.
For its stunning visuals and standout performances, Minority Report -- or at least the first three-fourths of it -- might just be the best movie so far this year.
Ferociously intense, furiously kinetic, it's expressionist film noir science fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present.
A highly effective thriller whose futuristic panoramas rival those of A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
This is a grown-up movie by men who've suddenly realised that their inner Peter Pans have deserted them.
Too much of Minority Report is facile, albeit at a very high level.
This masterfully sleek vision of the future from director Steven Spielberg is an awesome mix of skewed science fiction, twisty Hitchcock-style thrills, stunning blue-grey tinged photography and outstanding design.
[Minority Report] takes themes from Blade Runner, Total Recall and especially the little seen Gary Fleder-directed Impostor and stirs them up into an absorbing thriller.
The movie's combination of old and new influences energizes its believable futuristic elements.
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.
...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.
Brilliantly realised, complex and humane, Minority Report is easily on a par with Blade Runner as one of the best adaptations of Philip K Dick's work ever made.

- Agatha: You can choose.
-
- Officer John Anderton: You see the dilemma, don't you? If you don't kill me, Precogs were wrong and Precrime is over. If you do kill me, you go away, but it proves the system works. Precogs were right. So, what are you gonna do now? What's it worth? Just one more murder.
-
- Danny Witwer: Science has stolen most of our miracles.
-
- Director Lamar Burgess: Shh. Do you know what I hear? Nothing. No footsteps up the stairs, no hovercraft out the window, no clickety-click of little spiders. Do you know why I can't hear any of those things, Danny? Because right now, the precogs can't see a thing.

- Officer John Anderton: Everybody runs.

- Director Lamar Burgess: My father once told me, 'We don't choose the things we believe in; they choose us.'
