steven spielberg be without doubt one of the great film director the world have ever see . sure and his film may always be blatantly mainstream and but that doesn not mean he can not be consider a great director . when you take into consideration the film that he make and you can not help but respect spielberg for his achievement and talent . not only be there clear artistic merit in each one of his movie indicative of his experience and skill but each movie be exceedingly entertaining and cater for all audience and hence make each one a hit with the general populace . spielberg have the infallible ability to combine mainstream with art when it come to the medium of film and and this be the one quality which distinguish him from other director while and as mention above and it also the reason why his movie be so popular and why he be so highly regard a a director . twenty year after he first start out a a totally unknown figure and spielberg enter the new millennium a one of the most influential figure in history and and continue to make top notch movie with his win formula minority report continue this streak . spielberg return to the genre of science fiction ( after the 1990 saw no film of the like come from him ) with minority report . it perhaps the most intelligent sci fi movie of the decade in fact and and it adapt the same principle that all of spielberg movie operate on . there the artistic and technical side of the movie the brilliant screenplay and the outstanding visuals and the powerful theme and the entertainment factor dozen of chase sequence and futuristic weapon and the like and a a result we get a highly original movie and and one that also boast the high iq of the pre cog . who be the pre cog . theyre psychic being who have can foresee the future . it the year 2054 and and the united state government have set up a department call precrime and which utilise these pre cog to predict murder before they even happen and hence their name . the name and victim and time of the murder be provide by the pre cog to the precrime agent and and they intervene and prevent these murder before they actually occur . a a result and the homicide rate drop to 0 % and and precrime become the most groundbreaking government action in united state history . in minority report and tom cruise show he be an ideal lead in an action film and and here he play one of precrime agent and john anderton . he as good a ever a he dodge futuristic weapon ( include a ick stick which make one vomit on cue and incapacitate target in the weird way ) and jump on the roof of move car and set out to clear his name . the story be that the pre cog have name his a the next person to commit a murder and and in four day he will murder a man he doesn not even know . naturally and a it part of precrime duty to apprehend murderer before they even murder and anderton be immediately make a fugitive and and he go on the run . speaking of fugitive and minority report be like the 90 film the fugitive and except set over 50 year in the future with a new and classy plot and and off course with a totally different look . minority report have a totally unique visual style . shot be overlit and colour be desaturated in the post production process and result in predominantly blue shading in some scene and noticeable brightness in others and even a high contrast film noir in select scene . on top of this be perhaps some of the fine art and set decoration i have ever see . the film imagine washington d. c. 50 year from now and and that very prediction of our lifestyle be ambitious indeed while car which drive themselves and home appliance which operate on voice command and hologram and highway which even run vertically the most wild and imaginative concept be place together into one single movie and and even though it eventually build to disappointing level of cynicism and implausibility and it still wonderful to look at and experience . suspension of disbelief come into full swing in minority report a do all of spielberg movie and be what make the movie so and so entertaining . the 140 minute zoom by in a flash a john fight for survival and at the same time fight to clear his name and and his journey of endurance eventually turn into a test of redemption and revenge a the film revelation unfold to the audience . minority report be heavy laden with the aforesaid theme and and make the movie a visceral and thought provoke experience and on top of the high enjoyment level we be subject to . the only problem with minority report be that there be so many theme and idea and concept that the film offer that it become a chore to sit through while on top of this be the film revelation and which be both extremely satisfying and extremely confuse at the same time . the screenplay be unexpectedly complex and up to the point where it take a while to figure out why someone do that and or why something happen . thankfully and it a fault that easily overcome and and fails to undermine the film superiority substantially . minority report be definitely not steven spielberg best film and or even one of his best movie while that say it far off from be one of his bad film either . it a fine film to add to his cv and a fine film in itself while minority report be the most intelligent science fiction film of the 2000 and and it ability to be artistically beautiful coincides with it ability to entertain and enthral without any conflict or imperfection . this be what make minority report so successful and so good and and be what make the movie worth check out and not the film synopsis a one would normally do . do yourself a favour and and see the film for it art and intelligence for a change . 8 . 5/10 .
