Minority Report, 2002. A cop is framed for murder... in the future!
Directed by Steven Spielberg. Written by Scott Frank & Jon Cohen, based on a story by Philip K. Dick. Starring Tom Cruise.
Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent). Very good, up until the happily-ever-after ending. (Spoiler: It's a Spielberg movie.)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad). Lots of pointless action in the first half of the movie, so that by the time you get to the plot, halfway through, you expect the movie to be over. I think Tom Cruise has a contract stipulation that he has to spend a given amount of every movie in free fall.
Cinematography: 1/4 (Bad). They're doing something unique, but I can't figure out what the intended effect is. Mostly it just looks like they mucked it up to camouflage the CG.
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). It's a clever plot, with a lot of memorable moments scattered throughout. But I never really got into it. Despite good science fiction, it's ultimately more of an action movie (with not particularly good action).
Objective Rating (Average): 2.1/4 (Okay)
