Watched this with just the kids and I while their mom had to work late. I think my favorite Spielberg films are those that are firmly in the sci-fi fantasy genre. I remember 2002 Kevin being kind of blown away by the visual aesthetic of this film, much of which still holds up fairly well today. I also remember seeing this not too far apart from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones which came out the same summer. They both have very similar scenes in which there’s a chase through a production line / factory. And Minority Report’s visuals looked sooo much better. (End weird personal anecdote). Still love this movie. Introduced me to Colin Farrell with an American accent. I remember it being really jarring to see him do interviews after seeing this movie. (Wait, that’s what he sounds like in real life?). I’m a sucker for films that explore time-travel/past-future and Minority Report actually has a really interesting premise at its center. A paradoxical notion of arresting people for crimes before they’ve actually committed them is a beautifully thought provoking concept. Great movie, great visuals, John Williams Score. Great minor supporting appearances from Peter Stormare and Tim Blake Nelson. Spielberg certainly knows how to put a movie together.
