Spielberg's at the top of his game in this spectacular sci/fi flick
7 July 2005
In "Minority Report," Steven Spielberg combines a very realistic vision of the future with an interesting story about the limits of social engineering.

The result is another extremely well-done science fiction film, which is comparable in quality to "E.T." and "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind."

The movie is mainly about the controversy over whether any social system can be without flaws. Cruise gives one of the best performances of his career as a chief of a "pre-crime" department that prevents future crimes foreseen through the eyes of half-human/half machine triplets known as pre-cogs.

Colin Farrell, of whom I'm no fan, delivers in this film as a man working for the government, and so does Samantha Morton, who plays one of the pre-cogs.

This was one of the most interesting movies I have seen, and one of the best films of 2002.
