This movie is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. So many films have been adapted from his works including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, and the TV show The Man In The High Castle, among others.

[@Psilocybin77]

All of which were beamed into the head of Dick by V.A.L.I.S. ; ) It wasn't just a novel he wrote.

[@andmicbro1]

Having read many of the books the movies are based on Philip K Dick didn't have an amazing writing style. Sometimes his stuff was rather dry, sometimes kind of predictable. But the ideas behind the stories are what really capture people's imaginations. Which is also why most adaptations are pretty loosely based on the original story. They punch up a lot of the story in the movies, expand on it. But one story of his I'd like to see adapted some day is the story, The Variable Man. There are some real crazy ideas in that story, like an interstellar cold war fought mostly by computers predicting the outcome of a war. Or a man out of time who can repair any technology. Or an FTL bomb designed to explode a sun, wiping an entire civilization's solar system out. It's also quite cinematic, more so than many of his other stories. The ending is kind of predictable, but if you punched up the story a bit, a la Minority Report, or Blade Runner, it would be a film for the ages.

However, he said that V.A.L.I.S. was a different entity and was more than just a passing hallucination and often spoke to him of the future and showed him his past lives. He later wrote the story V.A.L.I.S. in an attempt to codify his experiences.

[@cbretschneider]

Man, Samantha Morton (Agatha) absolutely knocked her part out of the park in this movie. The amount of emotion she can deliver is outstanding.

[@ThomasCorp]

One of my favorites of 2002. Roger Ebert summed it up well when he wrote, “American movies are in the midst of a transition period. Some directors place their trust in technology. Spielberg, who is a master of technology, trusts only story and character, and then uses everything else as a workman uses his tools. He makes Minority Report with the new technology; other directors seem to be trying to make their movies from it. This film is such a virtuoso high-wire act, daring so much, achieving it with such grace and skill. Minority Report reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place.”

[@natmanprime4295]

yes, and the mark of a great film is that it leaves you with certain shots, certain scenes, images that stay with you even if you only watched it once many many years ago, and you dont know why. just magic. maybe its a meditation upon the concept of the Angel

Sean was taken and presumably murdered before Agatha's recruitment for pre-crime. I'm pretty sure Anne Lively's murder was the 1st "on record" and as such the 1st with a minority report. I don't think she was seeing Sean's potential or hypothetical life. As heartless or cruel as it may sound Sean is no more, his life ended when it did leaving no possibility of any other reality for him after his time of death. I think she is seeing the life of their next child, a son, who, unlike Sean, will grow to adulthood, fall in love, marry, have children and everything else they wanted so badly for Sean. Perhaps they name their new son Sean? I certainly wouldn't, I can't imagine any sane person would but it is fiction so who knows.

In the UK, we called the 10 year period after 2000 as the 'noughties'

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

The “aughts” for 2000s is actually an old timey term. People used to refer to 1908 as “back in nineteen aught eight” and such. Brooks Hadlin says it in Shawshank Redemption too.

[@mjc1389]

In American English naught and nought mean zero or nothing. Aught is often used as a placeholder for zero in the pronunciation of calendar years despite aught and ought mean all or anything by definition. There’s some mathematical reasoning in there as well. In simpler terms people using aught or ought in place of naught or nought is though to be from people mishearing the correct term (naught as aught) and it becoming synonymous with naught or nought. You hear someone say nineteen aught eight when the correct term is technically nineteen naught eight but aught has become acceptable. Cassie saying the 2000’s being called the aughts works but it should be the naughts.

On a downer note, there’s a theory that everything shown after John is haloed didn’t actually happen-it was just his halo vision of what he *wished* would happen. If you rewatch the film with that in mind, it makes sense-his ex-wife suddenly turning into supercop, somehow getting ahold of the still-usable eyeball, managing to free John and get him out of the facility, setting up the whole elaborate streaming video/audio system at the gala ball, etc. The entire final 15 minutes or so turns the ending into a tragedy.

My only _technical_ difficulty with the theory is reconciling the warden’s statement with the fact that the haloed visions seem intended to be part of the punishment, making them relive the would-have-been crime, over and over again.

I saw this one at the theater. Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow (RIP), and Neil McDonough all with significant parts in one movie... and the premise, plot twists, and characterizations are all SOLID and have LAYERS (at least by sci-fi standards). The more attention you're paying and the more you're starting to dislike Danny, the worse you feel when he turns out to be on the side of the angels and is abruptly murdered in cold blood. Still, despite everything, the movie ends on a high note (well, for everyone who isn't Danny or Lamar), with John getting a new start with his wife and their child-to-be, and the precogs getting a chance to live more-or-less like normal people.

[@Kero868]

I actually think it ended good for Lamar. Because he got broken out of his evil reality, and was sorry for it at the end.

[@aaronhoy3410]

@jimclayson4828 I wish I were good with words because there is an important connection between the fact that most people watching this movie thought: 1) The concept of the whole pre-crime process in the movie was great. 2) Agree with you that "the movie ends on a high note (well, for everyone who isn't Danny or Lamar)..." 3) Had a growing dislike for Danny throughout most of the movie [as Cassie herself did.] I'm not very good with words though, nor particularly smart, but here's some thoughts to bear in mind: A) Your "everyone" seems to not include the people [who were numerically the overwhelming majority of the "everyone,"] who were the people imprisoned for up to 6 years in a way where they could not even turn their body around, let alone actually move. Without a trial, or really any sort of outside the police overseers or even observers, all for something they hadn't actually done. B) A pardon simply says that whatever portion remains on the punishment they were given cancelled. They are still claimed to be guilty. It's still on their publicly accessible criminal records, the financial resources/assets along with their stuff that was taken by the state or given to their spouses/families/etc... are not going to be possible to regain or be compensated for. There is no wrong for which they could seek compensation for what was done to them. They are also ineligible for all but 1 or 2 assistance programs of the government [based off our current laws & conditions of eligibility.] C) "Many" of those who were released & pardoned were also still spied on for years to come. Beyond all the pretty easily imagined difficulties they are going to have to deal with by having a criminal record that says they were guilty of "future murder(s)" [I think is what they called in the movie,] they are also going to have who knows what physical & mental health consequences from being forcefully held in 1 position for up to 6 years & whatever the hell the halo thing was doing to their minds. D) I feel the need to reiterate that all of this was on the basis of 3 "severely brain damaged people" had who knows what drugs, substances or whatever forced into them were able to know with certainty what someone was going to do in the future. With no trial or even anyone outside the police themselves being allowed to observe any part of the process, let alone having any independent oversight involved. E) I mean even setting aside the fact that in the movie itself we see that the visions can be wrong, even without the intervention of the pre-crime police unit [as with John & the guy he was supposed to kill & Lamar at the end.] But, the entire concept is horrific. You can't actually know what choice will be made until it occurs, we aren't talking about some fundamental law of nature or something. It is an entity with the ability to think & make a choice in a situation with more than option to choose from. All you are doing is guessing, you may guess right some proportion of the time, that proportion may vary between people, & it may have more or less logic, knowledge, & reason behind it than someone else's. But at the end of the day they are just guesses because it hasn't happened yet. They are literally being punished for something that they have not done ["future murder(s)."] F) The Danny character was a federal law enforcement official sent to look into a 6-year program whose description can be found in the previous points because, well yeah of course he was. That's the guy that you, Cassie, & I'm sure most people watching this movie had an increasing dislike of throughout most of the movie. The guy who poses a threat to the continuing dystopian system described above... oh he also chews gum in an extremely annoying way. Like I said there are probably some pretty insightful observations that can be made from considering those things with the 3 initial observations that are likely true of most who watch this movie by someone smarter than me

@@aaronhoy3410 A) Yes, I DO include those who were imprisoned based on crimes they hadn't yet committed, as all of them ended the movie in a better state than when the movie began (even the guy who was imprisoned when he nearly killed his wife, as no one died and he now knows his wife was cheating)... hence "the movie ends on a high note." B) See "A" above. C) See "A" above. D) Same reasoning as "A," only applied to the precogs. They got everything they wanted. E) ...and pre-crime was abolished based on the events in the movie, doing away with the "horrific" institution. F) Not seeing your point here. Sorry. Did the movie end in rainbows and unicorns and undo all the bad things everyone in the movie had ever experienced in their lives? No, it did not. It didn't bring back any of the many people who died in the movie and it didn't erase the trauma anyone suffered... but it showed that people can survive and heal and move on with their lives, and that it's okay (and even good) to be unsure what the future holds. Just sayin'. YMMV.

Kinda funny- you're in Canada and wearing a USA shirt. LOL So fun watching you transition from "Wait I thought this was about aliens... to "what is happening?" "Oh, this is messed up on so many levels." Your reactions are so honest and fun to watch! I'm up to you asking if Peter Stormare (the eye doctor) is ever in anything nice. Others have recommended "Armageddon" (Bruce Willis) to you. Peter is is that and he's "nice" and funny.

[@alfreddreamer9097]

Hey, wait a minute there buddy, Peter Stomare is a nice guy in Constantine...Wait. Nevermind.

[@lionlyons]

Re: Peter Stormare "Is he ever nice?" Not very often, no. He's nice in _Armageddon_ where he plays a Russian cosmonaut. He becomes friends with the American astronauts and is the best man at the wedding when Grace (Liv Tyler) and AJ (Ben Affleck) get married at the end.

This one's one of my favs, currently rewatching it for my Tom Cruise marathon, it's brilliant. You've gotta watch Vanilla Sky next, it's another one of Tom's. It's amazing, you'll LOVE it

​​@@ct6852Oh wow, tough question, there's so many films where his performances are amazing and these ones aren't all of them, but they're definitely favourites of mine. 1. Top Gun Maverick (also tops my fav movies of all time list) 2. Top Gun 3 Vanilla Sky 4. Mission Impossible 5. Minority Report

[@ct6852]

@@irrumnaaz Seems like people have really come around on Vanilla Sky. It got very mixed reviews when it first came out...but it seems like a lot of people put it near the top of their list of favorite movies now. Interesting how that happens over time.

Max von Sydow… what a legend.

Since you love mysteries and mentioned Memento, definitely explore Christopher Nolan's filmography. Don't know which of these you've already seen, but Dunkirk is the only one uploaded on your channel: Insomnia, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Tenet, The Dark Knight, etc...

The naughts is the one used normally to specify the 00s.

[@NeverGiddy]

Funniest cinematic scene in just about any movie I've ever seen. On the balcony, just as Lamar is about to shoot at who we think will be John, the tight two shot of Max Von Sydow and Tom Cruise together, Tom Cruise looks to be about the same height or a bit taller than Max Von Sydow. Tom Cruise is about 5'8'' tall. Max Von Sydow is 6' 4" tall. In a real shot like that, Tom Cruise wouldn't have barely been in the frame. The magic of Hollywood.

[@redviper6805]

Tom Cruise’s story arc on struggling with loss was brilliant. The pre-cogs were named after mystery writers. Dashiell Hammett, creator of Sherlock Holmes stories Arthur C Doyle and the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. I knew Agatha was gonna grab Tom Cruise from the pool but Spielberg still managed to scare me!! Love how they used Schubert’s music when Tom was browsing the images early in the movie.

[@jessebutler1728]

I think Peter Strowmare IS technically nice in this. He's not malicious or cruel. He's almost jovial.

Do you guys get the swedish translated when you watch this movie? It's so funny thinking about y'all not knowing what they are saying but I do. And it's really stupid harmless shenanigans. He says stuff like "wipe your ass darling/bitch and get out here" and she sings "the little frogs, the little frogs are so funny to look at". The latter being a classic swedish childrens tune.

Love this movie! I think Tom has specific genre of Sci-Fi movies that just click with me. Minority Report, Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow. All great movies to me 😃

Notice the sounds if you watch it again. John Williams does the score and you can hear the StarWars like music throughout, especially in action scenes. Williams is so good :)

She's clearly working her way through the Tom Cruise filmography. Can't wait until she gets to Vanilla Sky. I'm always interested in people's opinions about that one.

Same. Just recently watched it actually, on a Tom Cruise movie marathon, and it blew me away. Didn't expect the plot to be like that, but also I think it's one of his best films.

You and your sister are my favorites reviewers, there is real reactions, no forced over the top ones.

[@ColinPoole]

The ability to use facial recognition out in public to identify and target an ad on a display to people exists right now in hardware I work with. I think the reason nobody has done it yet is they prefer people don't even know they CAN. We scan your faces when you enter or exit and can determine your mood and many other factors with current software - 30 years from now who knows what it will be. Right now we use it at movie theater ad signage in little embedded cameras to record how people react to the movie poster - happy/angry/scared/sad - we COULD have the poster change if we wanted to based on that info - we just don't - but we do keep it for demographic study/sale. To move from moods to specific human beings is just a matter of storage space and processing power - and access.

[@Deined]

Nice reaction, Cassie! Just saw Minority Report myself this week, and I have to agree it's one of the better sci-fi films I've seen yet. In fact, Minority Report might possibly be the best movie Spielberg's made so far in the 21st Century. As far as Tom Cruise, I'm willing to bet that this is up there with Rain Man as his most critically-acclaimed movie.

[@senno9910]

A theory floats that everything you see after he is put in the prison is actually the dream that he is told he will have. If you read the book, this is explored a little more, but ultimately it's up to the reader/viewer to decide if it's real or dream at the end.

[@susanmctavish6639]

The theater was totally full on the weekend this came out. Heard people in the theater say it wasn't just Spielberg's direction but the writing ( script ) was superb.

[@colcon]

This is a great film. One of the few films that gets better with age. Cassie should love it.

[@WastedPo]

It really does get better. When it was out, I really liked it, but I had a lot of nitpicks, ways that I thought it could've been better. However, it's one of those movies you don't stop thinking about. It does so many things well -- the acting, the provocative premise, the performances, individual scenes the world-building -- that over time, you just accept it as it is.

[@Cmoss114]

"Aliens rotting in the milk" was the description I didn't know I needed today

[@WastedPo]

So glad you liked Minority Report. (I was kind of assuming that Carly would be watching as well, since it was Tom Cruise. Still, a great reaction.) You guys still have to watch "Born on the Fourth of July." Cruise is honestly fantastic in it, and it was nominated for multiple Oscars. Also, I don't know how you feel about RE-watching movies, but if Carly hasn't seen "A Few Good Men," then I think it'd be pretty entertaining if you rewatched it with her (kind of like how you redid Lord of the Rings).

[@BillKrayer12thMan]

Since I can't swim through 4,000 member comments and I missed the live chat, I'm gonna point out that the doctor who did the eye replacement was also Lev in Armageddon!!EDIT: The "creator" with the plants is Aunt Meg from Twister!! Having said that, glad you liked it!!! Greetings from Seattle!!!

The TV show of the same name turned out to be quite good, even though it only lasted a season before it got canceled. I do recommend it.

[@CrashWizard]

"That guy is always like this. Is he ever nice?" That's the wonderful Peter Stormare. If you'd like, he played an eccentric movie producer in a film alongside Nicolas Cage. Can't remember the name of it though. 🙂

[@SubterrelProspector]

Awesome reaction! Minority Report is a top 10 best Scifi of all time for me. Absolutely masterful execution. It's bleak but hopeful, and has a lot of things to say. Not to mention it's a fantastic mystery/thriller. One of Cruise's best performaces too.

A movie which hit way close to home in the year 2002 right after 9/11 and the Patriot Act.

That’s a great point. I was born a year after 9/11 so I never experienced the fear that led to people giving the government so much power but after studying that time period I can see how this movie relates to it.

Comparing the patriot act to a person being arrested bc of thoughts they had in their head is one of the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard...

I have been a huge Tom Cruise fan ever since I was 14 and my brother took me to the theater to see Risky Business. I think the only movie I have not seen of his is Eyes Wide Shut, and only because the premise just does not interest me. But I love everything he does, because he always puts 200% into all his roles.

[@tbirdUCW6ReAJ]

Eyes Wide Shut is great. I recommend.

[@tjgray2815]

@vwlssnvwls3262 Trust your instincts. Steer clear of "Eyes Wide Shut." No need to tarnish your image of Tom and your appreciation of his catalog of work. His performance in "Eyes Wide Shut" actually feels forced (easily his worst), and it makes me uncomfortable watching it. I remember hearing him interviewed shortly after he had committed to it, and I think that he just was starstruck about working with Stanley Kubrick. Sad that he exploited his relationship with his real-life wife to allow the acclaimed director to film them like that. As if the movie isn't creepy enough, it has that extra layer of "ick" that makes it something you can skip.

[@randall-king]

Eyes Wide Shut is an enthralling film.

[@maryohara6192]

Cassie, that is such great news that Ben is doing so well, on the up and up, thank God! I'm so glad you are there having a wonderful vaca. You all need this time. This movie is amazing! Wow!

The perfect happy ending right? Maybe a little too perfect....... Maybe it didn't happen at all!? After all, when you're halo'd, your whole life flashes before your eyes. Personally I think it can go either way, if you want to believe the happy ending or you believe that the whole ending was John's halo dream, it works.
