Seen to shake the possible future of 2054, Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is arguably the most intelligently provocative sci-fi since Blade Runner. Like Ridley Scott's "Black Future" classic, Spielberg's gritty vision was freely adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick, with its central premise of repression "Precrime" totally dependent on three isolated human "Pre-Cogs" capable (due to drug-related mutation) to consider the murders before they occurred. As Precrime confident captain, Tom Cruise preempts these killings like a true action hero, only to run his life when he is himself involved in one of the visions precogs. Inspired by the brainstorming of expert futurists, Spielberg packs this paranoid chase with potential conspirators (Max Von Sydow, Colin Farrell), domestic tragedy and a heartbreaking precogs pawn (Samantha Morton), while the speed performance gains in depth and substance to every scene.
Make judicious use of astonishing special effects, Minority Report brilliantly extrapolates a future that is quite convincing, and too close for comfort.
