I can't believe some people are comparing Minority Report to Bladerunner. Not even close.....

The storyline of MR is so formulaic (I predicted the ending about an hour into the movie) and "safe". Looked like something created by an accountant and a Hollywood exec. And the ending was pure drivel. The fight scenes looked like something from an Arnie movie. I also hated the trite attempts at humour. Would someone please make a hardcore sci-fi movie (like Bladerunner or Alien) not pitched at the lowest common denominator.

On a postive note, I loved the special effects - they were used sparingly to enhance the movie, not dominate it.
