Minority Report 4K 2002

Another exceptionally high-quality film from a versatile director who has given the world more than one remarkable movie.

Minority Report is not Spielberg's first film set in the future.
In Hollywood films, the future can be very different. Here, it is quite good: in the sense that there are no consequences of world wars or deadly epidemics.
The fantastical world is interesting, and it is curious to follow the characters around in it.

However, it is all filmed in extremely specific, gloomy tones (these cinematographic techniques are very similar to those used by Kaminski earlier in Saving Private Ryan).
In addition to Janusz Kaminski as cinematographer, Michael Kahn (editing) and John Williams (music) are once again collaborating with Steven. They are masters of their craft, incapable of doing a bad job.

There is not much to say about the actors. Given the genre of the film, it is difficult to show anything outstanding. The actors are all in their places, from the not-so-attractive Samantha Morton to Tom Cruise in his typical role.

The plot. Tell me, how can a plot that dances around predictions of murders that have not yet happened and questions the predetermination of all existence be uninteresting?
While watching, I was mentally transported to the plots of many other films. The theme is not new, but it is invariably exciting.

The plot is multi-layered and constantly full of surprises. In some ways, it is underdeveloped and does not measure up to the best screenplays, but there is no question of the script being second-rate.

The film is very watchable. The slogan “Pure action!” (these words are on the box with my DVD) is not entirely true, but 133 minutes of unprecedentedly interesting viewing are guaranteed.

Minority Report is science fiction with a capital S.
An excellent representative of the genre!
