Minority Report is what it set out to be: a fast, gripping thriller, aimed at a mass market of idealists who love to see the right guys do the right thing - against all odds. The faultless presentation and technical clarity of the dual layer Disc 1 delivers Minority Report into your head directly (especially if you're speaker-surrounded) and if you have not seen the film on the big screen, make sure you are comfortable before you start watching. ...

And now we have Minority Report - which combines awesome visuals with its tangled, gripping plot to such winning effect that it might just emerge as the best film of the summer so far. For many seasons now big-budget "event" movies seem to have relied solely upon their stunning visuals at the expense of such trifles as a coherent plot, intelligent script or rounded characters. ...
