Minority Report

I saw Minority Report yesterday, and it was generally quite enjoyable. I still hold that “PG-13” and “good action movie” are two mutually exclusive concepts, and this was no exception. The key here, of course, is that Minority Report was more of a sci-fi flick than a pure action movie.

Favorite bit: the cereal box. In some ways, it reminded me of Eddie Valiant’s reaction after he hits the fire hydrant in Toon Town.

Least favorite bit: the snot. As Americans like to say, that was “uncalled for”. I thought it was unfortunate that the film used the “gross is funny” philosophy of humor from time to time. See also: the scene with the floor grate.

Overall, it was a good movie, and I’d recommend it. The story is intriguing, and the effects are impressive. At many points, the CG cars looked like models to me, in the way that they accurately reflected ambient light. And, for CG, I can think of no higher compliment.
