Minority Report: a review

Overall I thought this movie was very well done. Within its futuristic context this movie takes enough time out from wonderful special effects and creating dazzling sets, to pose some interesting theological and moral questions, in an very thought provoking way. The plot of the movie is about 3 psychics that can see future murders. Tom Cruise the main character is a policeman for the future crime division, and is accused of one of these future murders. The plot has a good number of twists and turns, leading to a pretty unexpected climax. The movie poses a lot of good questions about the timeless philisophical debate of predetermination vs. free will. There isn't a ton of action, but there is some, even so this movie should be more than enough to keep you entertained for its duration. With decent cinematography, visually stimulating special effects and scenery, and an intense plot you should more than get your money's worth on this film. I give it 8 1/2 stars out of 10.

I agree wholeheartedly that this is an excellent movie. It is amazing how realistic this future-based movie is, from the "power guns" to the interactive shopping ads. The plot twist was excellent too. What I really liked was the "You know the future, so now you can change it" ideal. Excellent movie!!
