Minority Report DVD

 4-star DVD of a 5-star film
Spielberg and Cruise have made one of the most thought-provoking films in years. There are too many places on the web to learn the premise of Minority Report, but suffice it to say the story is compelling and has enough plot twists to keep the most jaded film enthusiasts happy. It is easily the darkest film in Spielberg's oeuvre, in many ways hearkening back to the best film noir of John Huston or Ida Lupino. But unlike most movies in that genre, there is an element of hope that puts Minority Report in a class by itself. This is a thinking person’s film; close attention must be paid to the smallest details if you have any hope of solving the mystery before all is revealed near the end of the story. It is also a long film, almost two-and-a-half hours, and the first time through, IMHO it should be watched in one sitting; there are simply too many details to attempt to remember over a prolonged period. All the actors turn in fine performances, but one costar particularly stands out: Max Von Sydow is exceptional in his role as the patriarch of the “pre-crime” division of the District of Columbia’s police department. Regrettably, the second disc (extra features) is too repetitious, and does not add nearly as much to the experience as DVD fans have come to expect, but don’t let that stop you from picking up this set; the feature more than makes up for any shortcomings the DVD producers may have permitted to slip by.

 A really good movie the best!
This movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise is much better than his 2005 War of The Worlds film. That was about aliens who invade humans on planet earth and destroying every lifeform that exist to world war three invasion. Based on H.G. Wells classic film and book. Story was quite good about a futuristic police officer working for PreCrime. A place in Washington D.C. where cops investigate and use research technology to solve an actual crime event that they can predict. Like when or where it will occur and happend then. Every plot in this movie has a twist and turn edgy suspense scenario to who done it makes the characters and story unpredictable here. I like the special and visual effects used in this sci-fi action to adventure movie real creative here. Also a job well done from director Steven Spielberg making Minority Report a classic sci-fi epic to me. Which Spielberg worked with Tom Cruise again in 2005's War of The Worlds movie a second time for them.
