<--- so very jealous right now!!!
how did u get to see it?
and the borg queen, she'll be interesting hehe
ebert and roper raved about this movie in todays show. hell they devoted extra time on a bit on certain scenes and stuff. finally decent movies to watch, in a few days atleast
From Oscar Watch Forum :
Roeper: Ok, our next movie is Steven Speilberg's "minority Report". A masterful work infused with beautiful and haunting visuals, outstanding performances from Tom Cruise & a gifted supporting cast, and a story that challenges the mind and engages the spirit.
(synopsis of film w/ stunning clips)
Roeper: (ending synopsis) ...Screenwriter Scott Craig and John Cohen have expanded the story into a spectacular scifi film noir and the brilliant Speilberg and his special effects team have created a believable vision of the near future...(thumbs up)
Ebert: This movie is a great movie! (thumbs up) This is a brilliant movie; this is one of Speilberg's best movies, and he's a great filmmaker.
Roeper: Right.
Ebert: ...(Speilberg) puts it all into a package that absolutely fascinated me from beginning to end. I loved this movie...
Roeper:...It's one of those movies that afterwards you can pick it apart and say well did this happen this way or it could have happened this way but that's part of it's brilliance that it has you thinking about it so much afterwards and the cast, including Tom Cruise, AGAIN, continuing his streak of excellent performances in fine films.
Ebert then goes on to go in depth on 2 specific scenes...
you'll have to see this; it's too hard to describe
Ebert: ...that's why Speilberg is such a great director, not just because he's a mastor of all the new stuff, but because he begins in the classical style with story and character.
Roeper: (Speilberg) really respects the strong writing in this adapted screenplay, and actors, Samantha Morton, she can make the hairs on your arms go up just with her voice in this film.
Ebert: Tom Cruise is wonderful in this film! He absorbs that character and you begin to identify with him as he's up against this situation where he's being framed in a world where to frame someone would be the perfect crime because he can't get away with anything.
Roeper: This movie succeeds on every level.
