I highly recommend that all of you see this movie. I had my doubts about it after seeing the preview as the whole idea seemed somewhat silly, but it is so well done that I just loved it. Stephen Spielberg is just soooo good at creating a future world that seems both breathing and technologically advanced.

Anyway, I won't give too much away. I'll just say SEE IT!

9/10.

The second best movie I've seen this year! (Behind LotR, and that includes Episode II)

I guess Australia opened this film before the rest of the world!!

<font color="silver">Ummm... could you enlighten me on what Minority Report is??

I'm kinda in the dark here. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

It's a movie about the future where one can be found guilty of commiting a crime that he will do in the future. got it? ;)

don't want to spoil you.

Sir Mandorallen 06-24-2002 09:02 AM

<font color="silver">Oh okay then. Sounds good, and don't spoil me any more, cause I might go see it.

If its out up here, I don't really know... :confused: </font>

I just Saw Minority Report And it is AMAZING. It really is a close second to LOTR. You all HAVE to see this movie!!! (or not, but it would be your loss)

Well...that's a bit narrow minded! I guess you'll miss out on a great film.

Why do people have such a big problem with Tom? I've heard similar statements many times!

<font color = lightgreen>Despite the stunning visual effects, I would rate Minority Report as a better movie than Attack of the Clones. AotC just didn't have the impact that Minority Report did, plot-wise. Of course, I usually rate movies based on plot first and everything else second.

I agree with Aviendha--9 for Minority Report, 8 for AotC.</font>

I saw it yesterday, with an 'old' friend. lol, it was great! unfotunaly slightly predictable... hehe. worked out *most* of the stuff by the middle of the film. I think it was too gory to be a 12, but *sigh*, all in all I'd give it 7 outa 10.

Megabot 07-28-2002 12:18 AM

I will see it to when it is available on DVD [img]smile.gif[/img] sounds like a good movie!

shadowhound 07-28-2002 01:33 AM

Saw it a while ago, thougherly enjoyed it (even though tom cruise was in it [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) It would have been amazing if it hadnt have been so bloody predictable.

Oh and Aviendha the reason some people hate Tom Cruise (i dont know if i speak for everyone) is because he was stupid enough to split up with Nicole Kidman for Penelope Cruiz. (A VERY stupid move in my opinion, if he had stayed with nicole instead of the pathetic penelope he could at least pretend to be very successful.)

Does it really matter to you what someone does in their private life???!!! Who cares who's cheating on who! Who cares who was seen at a club dancing with who! And who cares who's divorcing who?

Why should we let that just our perception of a movie?

Apparently Jim Carrey is a manic depressant! Does that effect his movies? Obviously not!

I really don't understand people's fascination with celebrities offscreen lives! Women's magazines are absolutely ridiculous! "Can you believe how much weight so and so has put on? How to have hair like Jennifer Aniston! What celebrities look like without makeup!"

People seem more interested in what celebrities do in their spare time, than what they achieve on the big screen. I mean let's face it, they know absolutely nothing about them! Only what the media wants them to think!

Anyway, I've had my whinge now! I feel better!

I totally agree. Acting is make-believe.

Actually, I would say that if this is true it would explain a lot. I would think riding the emotional roller coaster that a manic depressive does would make it easier to be as wacky and zany as Carrey usually is in his movies.

You can say the same thing about John Nash and schizophrenia. He said that he found his delusions so believable because they came to him in the same way as his mathematical insights. Not that all mathematical geniuses are schizophenic or that all schizophrenics are geniuses, but I think there is a link, at least in Nashes case.

Reminds me of a song by Prince (sound track of the first Batman I think)
"If a man is considered guilty for what goes on on his mind
Then give me the electric chair for all my future crumes"

I will see the movie, I utterly hate Tom Cruise Missile but love Spielberg just as much.

Btw: Thanx for keeping this thread spoiler free [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm sorry but such a brill film just has to be seen a.s.a.p. The futre based film must be the best one I've seen for a long time.(That is excluding lotr)
Mind you some of the people I have asked about the film didn't like it. It depends really if you like thinking about the futre.

Timber Loftis 09-20-2002 05:13 PM

I have to interject and take up for Tom Cruise. Whatever your beef with him is, I think he's an okay actor. Even Anne Rice, who had a hissy fit when he was cast as Lestat, ended up saying she thought he did the character well and could and should do it again. Minority Report is quite good - not great, but worth watching.

Azred -
I note you thought it was better the Attack of the Clones. I think Clones was quite good. Each individual SW movie is not so great as Empire, I must admit. But, the beauty of Clones lies in its underpinnings and ties to the original movies. I'll point to one instance. When Anakin is meeting privately with Palpatine, Palpatine's ego-inflating discussion with him is ERIE. How so? Simple - go compare it to the same basic speech he gives to Luke in the Death Star years later. The newer SW movies might not be fantastic on the individual level, but the whole is certainly greater than the sum of its parts in this case.

Did he just get chased through the whole movie?
