Absolutely one of Spielberg's best. Easily the best movie I've seen in awhile. What a vision! Special effects actually enhanced the STORY in a very matter of fact way without calling attention to themselves.There is one scene which I can't even imagine how it was filmed (and I have worked with a few FX houses.
Some very strong performances, especially by Samantha Morton as a "pre-cog". Just keep thinking about all the great scenes.
The film is a mix of Spielberg, Kubrick, Hitchcock, and even a little tribute to DePalma.
I have two criticisms though- there is a major logic flaw at the end and the movie is 30 minutes too long. Fixing the length would have fixed the flaw as well.
Someone needs to be a stronger editor for Spielberg, he just has a bad tendency to ramble on as in AI. If Minority Report had ended at on ekey point it would have been a masterpiece.
Go see it everyone, I'd like to hear some comments.
