Minority Report [Blu-ray]

One has to wonder, will we come to this. Social credits are a scary thing and pre crime, it's not a stretch. Great Tom flick.

In 2054, the Precrime department, led by John Anderton (Tom Cruise), is able to predict murder before it occurs using three psychics called "precogs" with superb results. Eventually, Anderton is suspected of future murder and he races to clear his name and find the person he believes set him up; but, what if the precogs were correct?. Minority Report is a brilliant and exhilarating SciFi film. Minority Report has an amazing concept and engaging storytelling; it balances the science, the mystery, and the action almost flawlessly. The story moves at a great pace, which kept me glued to my seat. The chase scenes in this film are also great, especially the jetpack scene. The futuristic setting is also immersive and often stunning. Most of the special effects still hold up today, despite being 10 years old. The acting was also amazing; I enjoyed watching Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell. The music in this film matched the atmosphere and I loved it; it had a "Star Wars"/SciFi vibe and positively added to the film. I own the two disc blu-ray. The first disc of this blu-ray only has the film. The second disc holds all of the special features. This does not come with a DVD or a digital copy. The quality of this film is amazing; the picture quality is a stunning update from the DVD and allows it to compete with recent films; the sound quality is also crisp. Definitely a film worth owning in HD. Overall, Minority Report is an immersive, exhilarating, and ultimately brilliant film; despite it's 2 hr 20 min runtime, this film rarely has a dull moment. I highly recommend a purchase, especially the high quality Blu-ray version. Minority Report has violence and blood. No sex or nudity.

A nice upgrade over standard Blu-ray, but the uptick is not as noticeable compared to some other 4K releases due to how the film was shot.

4k video is amazing. This is a great sci fi story with great acting, thrilling action sequences, sublime direction and a compelling mystery.

This is a review of the BD version of the film. I am sure most reading know the atory, so I won't get into all of that, though it must be said it is a chliing. exciting, and brilliant vision of the future down to its details. I have seen a couple of reviews that note the issue of "grain" on the image. Here's the deal with that...the grain is supposed to be there. The most common misconception about bluray is that it offers a more enhanced and retouched version of a film. High Definition lets you see the film as it was intended by the filmmakers. Mostb SD DVD has been treated with something called Digital Noise Reduction (DNR). This wipes the image so that it is smooth and waxy. It also distorts the colors, textures, and the original artistic vision. Bluray provides deeper colors, blacks, eliminates edge enhancement, halos, and other issues. Minority Report is intended and was shot to have a gritty feel, hence the grain. This is how the film is supposed to look. It has a kind of washed out, skip bleached look with lots of swirling film grain. This creates an emotional impact that informs the story and the characters. This movie looks fabulous. The grain renders the fine details and textures much harder to see in 480i. 1080p allows us to see it as it looked in the editing bay. Colors are fully accurate and resolved. Blacks are inky and detail is gorgeous, making the special effects all the more dazzling. This transfer was closely supervised and approved by Spielberg. It is the best this film will ever look and the HD DTS soundtrack is tight, robust and exciting. This is one of the films I have been waiting to see in this format and it exceeded my expectations.

Great 4K picture andvsound. Same extras as the blu-ray. Definitely upgrade.

Loosely based on a story by Philip K. Dick (as many great sci-fi movies have been), "Minority Report" is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. With excellent direction and visuals by Steven Spielberg along with great acting by Tom Cruise, Samantha Morton, and others, it's an enjoyable movie for all. The story provides some interesting questions about life on a basic level, as well as what direction technology is headed. Cruise plays Chief John Anderton, the head of a new pre-crime police unit in Washington DC in 2054. They are an experimental unit which arrests people based on crimes which they "will" perpetrate, as opposed to ones that they have done. They have three special individuals called pre-cogs who have visions of crimes that have not occurred yet. Based on these visions, the police arrest the people before they have a chance to commit the crimes. This raises the question - can we change the future or is it all pre-determined? It's the old question of predestination vs. free will, but played out in a rather fascinating and different way. If we can read people's thoughts (like some practical science is getting closer and closer to) or predict their future, how much can we really act on it? Anderton believes strongly in the system and defends it to Danny Witwer (Colin Farrell), who is sent by the government to investigate the unit before pre-crime goes national. Witwer digs up dirt on Anderton, discovering that he's into some illegal drugs, likely as a result of the disappearance of his son years ago. Things get truly complicated for Anderton when the pre-cogs have a vision of him killing someone who he doesn't even know. He is forced to run and work on his own in order to clear his name. Can he prevent the vision from becoming reality? Is it possible that the vision is wrong? Why would he kill someone he doesn't even know? I find this movie enjoyable even on subsequent viewings, though naturally there are some twists which are best during the first viewing. Still, the acting is great and the effects are stunning at times. There are chases which get you on the edge of your seat. It is an entertaining mix of action, science fiction, and crime drama. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested at all in any of those genres.

Precrime detective John Anderton is identified as a future murderer and must prove his innocence, while his specialized police force tracks him down. This movie has amazing special effects, a futuristic world, minority report, coolest weapons/cars, lots of action and a fantastic storyline.
