    Minority Report

    is so good....that's twice now I've seen it and its just as good second time.

    Tom Cruise does a good job....the story rocks, there are no bad loose ends in the tale.

    I like it a lot..if you haven't seen it ....do....and even if (like me) you don't like Mr Cruise......ignore its him...

    he's nothing like normal (well...he's still short, but you know what I mean)

    Awesome film, saw it at the cinema and watched the dvd a fair few times now aswell, based on a story by the same dude that wrote blade runner.

    Unfortunatly paycheck which was also written as a short story by the same dude isn't nearly as good as it should have been

    I have to agree too, this has to be the film that really ended my blind "every film Cruise makes is utter pap" mindset.

    Great film, great fun, nice mixture of gloomy future/bright future, all round quality. I'm sure it has some weak parts, but I'm not enough of a critic to spot them.

    I loved it, and my wife (who isn't much of a sci-fi nut but IS a criminologist) thought it was a great film also. She really picked up on the idea of predictive incarceration, and it's true that if you look at the whole "but you were GOING to kill someone, weren't you?" stuff and compare it to today's situation where you can be locked up indefinitely without having committed an offence as long as you're diagnosed with a "personality disorder", it has some pretty far-reaching ramifications. How far is our risk averse society prepared to go to protect itself? Exactly how much freedom and due process are we prepared to sacrifice in the name of "safety"?

    Yeah... I think I enjoyed it more the second time too. There's so much to it, you can really concentrate on the ins and outs of it without worrying too much about understanding what's going on the second time!
    Ace film


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    Have you seen it just the once trig?

    I was a bit miffed coming out of the cinema after seeying it- probably just confused me :O

    but i got it on dvd anyway for a bargain price and i have watched it 2-3 times since and i love it. Definately better the second time. I would probably watch it more often if it wasnt so long...

    I really enjoyed it first time, but it does get better as you watch it more often. I wasn't miffed comming out the cinema, went with my GF who I'd been dating for about 2 weeks
