I’ve always disliked Steven Spielberg for the most part. His films always seem to strive for being blockbusters – with the exception of Schindler – rather than being an achievement of film making. It has been awhile since my last viewing of Minority Report (a few years I think) and I was slightly stoked / slightly unenthusiastic to be revisiting the film. Much to my surprise, the film is quite solid. Leading up to the third act, Minority Report is a more than satisfying sci-fi, albeit a few action sequences that take away from the dazzling galore of it. However, once we do hit the third act, much of the film falls apart, winding up in typical Spielberg territory.

Well you need to give him some credit, considering you established his ability to even manage numerous blockbuster worthy films. And he has arguably the most influential film perspective ever. By labeling his work typical Spielberg territory’ based off one film is not ideal. I recommend reviewing Sanctum by renowned director James Cameron, then juxtapose it with his previous work. Spielberg’s not so rough around the edges as we thought, with the exception of his name being on the front of the cover of The Pacific.
