Critics Consensus

Thought-provoking and visceral, Steven Spielberg successfully combines high concept ideas and high octane action in this fast and febrile sci-fi thriller.

3/4

Minority Report does offer a few issues to ponder, and given the mindlessness of most summer action specials, it’s something of an intellectual feast, even if it’s all hors d’oeuvres.

5/5

Certainly one of Tom Cruise’s best (films), and I think one of Steven Spielberg’s best too…. So much fun to watch, a really intriguing thriller.

It’s colder and more calculating than much of Spielberg’s oeuvre, and is all the better for it.

Its first reel is as bravura a display of style as Spielberg has ever offered, as we watch a movie-within-amovie of adultery, jealousy, and homicidal rage being assembled from the visions of the pre-cogs by Tom Cruise and his team of Precrime techies...

B+

At its core, Minority Report boasts an excellent and underrated turn by Cruise as John Anderton, a man who works for a specialized police department that attempts to capture criminals before they actually commit crimes.

3.5/5

It remains a rather captivating sci-fi outing that offers up a fair amount of excitement, some great visual effects, and a tremendous cast.

Steven Spielberg's Minority Report is another thriller that showcases his film making talents. It has a great story that gets you invested quickly. A reliable amount of sci-fi elements and action. Along with a nice script and strong directing. Although it does take some strange and dumpy directions with the plot, it still manages to get to its destination just fine. Clearly, early 2000s enjoyment.

Quite an interesting concept, this movie is slightly above average with a nice plot but evetually nothing particularly special.

Boasting a clever concept, a charismatic actor and enthralling action set pieces, MINORITY REPORT is an excellent sci-fi crime thriller.

My favorite movie with Tom Cruise in it. Is there any movie that sucks that Tom is in? That guy is intense and I love his acting skill. He might be the best male actor of all time in my opinion. Very tense scenes without any let down. Marvelous intrigue, a must watch.
