Good crits.

I agree on those points. I don't like the Brazil-like quality of the cops either. One impressive feature of Minority Report to me was its attempt, over and above most sci-fi films, to create a plausible, palpable future. The camp you cite and the heavyhandedness and possibly even the allusiveness of its "Big Brother" elements betray the artifice and, I think, keeps the audience at arm's length.

Interestingly, I liked AI less, but that has more to do with its having fallen farther short of my expectations than did Minority Report, which, frankly, exceeded them on some points. AI fell flat for me, and I couldn't help wondering "what would Kubrick have done?" when I saw it. I haven't seen AI since it was in the theaters, though. Maybe I'll give it another look.
