MINORITY REPORT (2002) was MIND BLOWING - Movie Reaction - FIRST TIME WATCHING 

Hey everyone! A Spielberg classic for ya today and man I LOVED this movie! The sci-fi setting was amazing and so visually stunning as well as the concept was so intriguing and endlessly interesting. Tom Cruise as well was at the top of his game and I thought he delivered one of his best performances here. Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)

Putting this movie into its proper context: shortly before this movie was released the patriot act had just been passed which for the first time in the US allowed intervention based on suspicion only. It triggered a dialogue at the time and this movie precisely wants the viewer to ponder the question.

Max von Sydow was a world famous actor 5 years before Tom Cruise was born, and acted for 70 years before dying in 2020. Please check out more of his work! Some of his most famous early roles were in Ingmar Bergman films - The Seventh Seal, The Virgin Spring, Wild Strawberries, Through A Glass Darkly, etc.

Phillip K. Dick was quite a writer. If you haven't already, you should see other films based on Dick's novels: Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) Total Recall (based on We Can Remember It For You Wholesale) Screamers (based on Second Variety)

Max Von Sydow is one of my favorite actors, and I always know that when he's in a movie, it's gonna be a good one. He rarely plays a villain, but those actors usually play the best villains. He's also seemingly been an old man since the 1970's.

I think Tom cruise has become one of the most underrated actors over the past 20 years. He has lots of great rolls and I have heard several of the biggest actors out there talk about the some of the most iconic performances would not have happened without the other actor. Like jack Nicholson and Tom cruise in the end of a few good men. Ehthan hawke co staring in training absolutely deserved a best supporting Oscar. My point - Tom cruise in rain man is amazing. Everyone rightfully recognizes Hoffman for his role and people recognize cruise is great in it but I think it’s iconic.

Fun fact: the hotel clerk is William Mapother, real life cousin to Tom Cruise. Personally my #1 favorite Philip K Dick movie adaptation.

"Everybody runs..." Fun Fact: The "Precogs" were all named after famous mystery writers Dashiell Hammett, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie. Bonus Fact: This movie started life as a sequel to Total Recall (1990), since both source materials were written by Philip K. Dick. However due to reasons beyond the scope of this comment, it became a standalone movie.

You might want to research Max Von Sydow's career. He's a film history icon.

Thank you, Oliver! 🧿 Such lavish world-building... and so astutely directed.

Speilberg and Cruise made War of the World's also three years later. Check that out too if you're a fan.

Philip K Dick was the greatest American author. All of his stories have things in common, technocratic dystopias , pre crime , drugs , out of control tech , simulated or false realities , but number one is the human drive for the truth.

Hi Ollie! After your intro, I know you must watch Collateral with Cruise.

Along with Tom Cruise's "Oblivion", I'm so obsessed with the technologies used in the films. I tried to incorporate those tech with my home even to very details of using the glasses and cups used. Check out the Bodom glassware. And speaking of Max Von Sydow, I really hope you react to The Exorcist.

Originally this was supposed to be a sequel to Total Recall, but Spielberg took the reins to make this film Happen.

That guy at the front desk, from "Lost", is Tom Cruise's cousin.

Love this movie! I watched it in theaters, I was mesmerized at everything; story, acting, visuals, music, everything. I’m telling you, when Steven Spielberg has a passion for a project, it shows on the screen, and he was like a well oiled machine at this time, even into the 2000s. I still remember all the amazing shots of this movie. Just some notes: The gun Tom Cruise uses is obviously a future tech but I love the added touch of the way his character “cocks” it because even though it’s a new gun to the audience, it’s just a regular gun in that movie world that he handles with experience, even doing “shortcuts” with is. The guy from LOST is Tom Cruise’s cousin and you’ll see him in A LOT of Cruise’s movies in bit parts. Colin Farrell’s character being a Treasury Officer is kind of like a running joke in movies because originally, when the US started the Secret Service, they used treasury officers as the first guys. In the Untouchables, famed lawman Elliot Ness who eventually brought down infamous gangster Al Capone was also a treasury officer prior to working on the Capone case. As stated by another in the comments, this movie is an unofficial sequel to Total Recall. It started out years before as a sequel. The Precogs were supposed to be the same kind of mutants that populated the world of Total Recall. The producers eventually scrapped that idea but they’re still all based on Phillip K Dick’s stories. Blade Runner could be argued to be all part of the same universe, too. Regarding the bleached bypass look of the movie, I don’t remember if Spielberg said the photography was important to the movie itself but I’m gonna say it wasn’t simply for the fact that he already made two movies before that used it and every movie he made in the 2000s used that photography.

28:38 The guy from Lost (Ethan Rom) is played by William Mapother, who is Tom Cruise's cousin in real life. That's because Tom Cruise's real last name is Mapother. Cruise is just a stage name, because "Mapother" doesn't sound like a sexy lead man. If you look really close, you can see the family resemblance, although Tom may have gotten the better end of the stick.

Tom Cruise also starred in Steven Spielberg's movie War of the Worlds. That movie gets more bleak than this one.

The guy from lost is Tom cruises cousin. He was also in mission impossible 2

"How is it insignificant? It could prove someone's innocent!" Right on. But proving people innocent is less important to a corrupt society than power and control.

Fun fact actress who played Agatha was also Alpha in the Walking Dead

One of my top favorite movies of all time!

Directed by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Cruise as an agent who lives in a world where crimes can be foreseen by the culprits before the crime is even committed. However what happens when a crime is foreseen by Tom Cruise himself

28:40, that's Tom's real life brother.

Great reaction! This film was a sci-fi gem, with Steven Spielberg directing. It portrays a near-future very well, with its technology and scenery. Good sci-fi raises thought-provoking questions, and in this case, the film raised questions about freedom of choice, how accurately can humans predict the future, and the ever-present possibility of corruption and misuse of human-designed systems, no matter how flawless these appear to be.

Max von Sydow was in the Exorcist. You might want to check that movie out, comparing his appearance in that in 1973 to his appearance here, just shy of 30 years later.

One of the greater cool futuristic SciFi Action movies out there that are awesome and pretty realistic!

If you want another blast - try Flash Gordon from 1980. The main villain, Emperor Ming is played by Max Von Sydow. It's colourful, campy, science fiction fun with a great soundtrack! Definitely watch the next Spielberg and Cruise project - 2005s remake of War Of The Worlds. It's not quite as good as Minority Report, but still very tense.

i remember playing minority report game on PlayStation and it was honestly the most fun yet frustrating game ever.

AI with Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law is another Speilberg classic that was originally started up by Stanley Kubrick before his death after Eyes Wide Shut. I think you will love it as well. It is truly a Masterpiece! Minority Report is one of my Top Five Movies of all time, including also The Talented Mr. Ripley, Road To Perdition, Less Than Zero and The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Glad yer back! Love this movie!

Others good SF movies to react to are "Gattaca" and "12 Monkeys"

Exceptionally well crafted movie One of the best in the last century

OH HEAVY RAIN!!! ‘shaun.. the umbrella.. @___@

It's 2048; the Lexus got lots of free advertising.

If you're in the mood for more Tom Cruise and sci-fi I'd recommend Oblivion, also starring Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko. It also has a great music score by M83.

30:15: oh, listen, music that tells what the character is feeling/thinking and that captures the tension of the scene. the disney star wars sequel trainwreck could have been like this, but no. (I know it's by the same guy.)

4:48 - Technically, he's guilty of attempted murder. It's not that he didn't do anything. He just didn't succeed. The problem with the whole pre-crime idea is that the police know well in advance that a crime will occur. While some crimes involve a conspiracy to commit them (like bank robbery) which you can arrest people for, other crimes - opportunistic crimes, crimes of passion - occur rather spontaneously. With enough advance warning police could intervene to prevent both the crime and the intent. Like with this guy. If they had enough lead time, the cops could have called the guy and broken the news of his wife's infidelity giving him time to calm down before confronting her. Or called the wife and told her to not hook up with the dude that day.

Great choice. One of Spielberg's last 5 star films.

If you like this watch Blade Runner , Total Recall (Schwarzenegger version) , Screamers , and A Scanner Darkly. All are based on books by Philip K. Dick. The matrix movies are a rip off of a press conference he held I. 74 to tell us we are living in a simulation.

If your looking for more Spielberg or Cruise sci-fi try A.I. Artificial Intelligence or War of the worlds

"Camera shot"

Chekov's gun

what happens to the prisoners? it seems they're unconscious until they die.

What’s really gonna blow your mind is when you realize it’s possible that Tom Cruise’s character never really left prison and the entire end of the movie is just a fantasy being played back in his mind by the machine he’s imprisoned in. Philip K. Dick loved writing stories like this that bend the truth and leave interpretation to the reader. It’s evident in his other stories which also were made into movies: Blade Runner, Total Recall (the original version), Paycheck, Next, and several others.

nice reaction, love this movie, subnliked

Please be the 1st reactor to do Strange Days (1995) You will NOT be disappointed.

Please react one day to "LA Confidential"

Well, technically in that first one I’d think he’d be doing attempted murder regardless.

If you think cruise a,ways plays a good guy watch Collateral. Or a certain vampire movie.

look up rolling phone samsung:P

precrime- they go back in time and stop it ffrom happening! no... its worse.. its much worse...

2002 old. hahahaha. bro, 1934 is old.
