Anyone here see Minority Report yet?

Post by EvilHorace »

The previews look good but I'm surprized that no one here's commented on it so far. Decent flick or not?

I thought it was ok. Wasn't outstanding or anything, but was worth the money I spent.

I thought it sucked. :D

Filmed with a grainy-washed out look (suppose to be arsty and moody) and with little color, in fact it looks more black and white than color. Some ok effects but not enough to make up for the many bad things about this movie. Only positive I'll add is that new actor Colin Farrell was far more fun to watch than cruise. But then I've never been a cruise fan.

I suggest The Bourne Identity instead. :)

Haven't seen it yet but I will shortly. I really want to check it out, it looks very cool to me as I love sci-fi. It's been getting great reviews as well... I'll put up my opinion when I get a chance to check it out...

I too am still planning to see it as soon as my kid shows up, even though it got Blades "two thumbs down" rating ;) (a rare moment here at PCA).
Besides, it's hotter than hell outside now (too hot to think about yard work or bike riding) and I'm bored.

I just got finished watching Minority Report and I must say that I found it boring. Not one of Steven Speilberg's better films. I am glad that I was watching at home in my room while laying in bed. I fell right to sleep and when I woke up i just saw credits rolling by


Don't waste the money on a movie ticket for this film

Well I got to finally see it over the weekend and I thought it was definately worth seeing at the theater. There's not as much action as the trailer would lead you to believe, but the action scenes were well done, the story was good, and the "sci-fi feeling" to the movie was pretty cool. Not the best movie I've seen, but it's worth seeing if you usually like sci-fi type movies. It's doing very well on the IMDB as well: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0181689

Finally saw it last night and we liked it. As Tunis mentioned, the action isn't as intense as the previews made you think but I think it's good story.
The part when he gets new eyes was a little weird as I thought that that guy would really mess him up bad yet doesn't. I was glad that they didn't show the surgery as I would have had to turn away. Anything with eyes make me very uneasy.
