Minority Report Report
I saw Minority Report today expecting a Blade Runner/A.I. hybrid and am glad to say I was sorely disappointed in that regard. The future presented in MR is far more feasible than A.I.’s version of tomorrow and seems like a radically updated version of Blade Runner’s vision. However, the drastic advances in technology, while certainly possible someday, seem very unlikely for the year 2054. The film itself is surprisingly good, and the special effects are fantastic. In fact, they’re better than those found in Star Wars Episode II. My one complaint with the film is that the last twenty minutes seems to be one ending after another, but not to the extreme of A.I.’s dozen or so consecutive climaxes. Overall, Minority Report is certainly worth the admission fee.
