Review - Minority Report

"Minority Report" is a science-fiction movie based on a short story called "The Minority Report" by Phillip K. Dick.
Set in the year 2054, society is now patrolled by the PreCrime Division. With the assistance of three psychics (called the "pre-cogs"), people are arrested for crimes before they can actually commit them. However, when the lead officer of the Division becomes one of the accused, he has less than two days to prove his innocence...in a system that has already judged him as guilty. And the truth may be more devastating than the crime itself...
The basic premise for this movie is intriguing by itself - How do you defend yourself against a judicial system that has already tried and convicted you? How do you prove that you were not going to commit a crime that someone claims you will do? Throw in an outstanding cast, one of the best directors in Hollywood today, and a fascinatingly detailed future world (which was designed by sixteen experts on the future, contacted by the director three years before production began)...and you have one of the best science-fiction films in recent years.
For a detailed science-fiction tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat, "Minority Report" is a sure thing.
