[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 1015532, member: 527"] SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS Can there even be spoilers for a film as old as Minority Report? Well, just in case. ;-) Anyway, there were a couple of things I found very odd and disjointed. Like the Doctor who fixes Toms eyes. Did that scene go anywhere at all? "I've harbored a burning resentment for years and now I am going to let it all out by making you eat a moldy sandwich!" WTF? PKD does reality-bending like no one else, and this looked like it was going to cause a classic PKD kink in reality, but then it fizzled out. The same with Cruise's addiction to some sort of drug, which is generally glossed over. Again, a reason why the reality we see might be skewed, but a reason that's never followed up. I can't believe that Spielberg was being too [i]subtle[/i] for me, so I just walked away from the film confused by what looked like loose ends from an earlier draft of the script. ;-) Overall its pretty good, but not without its flaws. Certainly in a summer blockbuster world where [i]Pirates[/i] is popular because it is the least stupid of all the movies, [i]Minority Report[/i] would reign as uncontested best movie. But it wasn't the best movie of last year, it wasn't even the best SciFi/Fantasy movie. Harsh standards I suppose. [/QUOTE]
