The rave reviews I'm reading about this film,(except for Ron's), are making me salivate. I was already planning on seeing the film but now I'm really anxious to see it. I don't ususlly go to films on opening weekends but in this case I might make an exception.

Matt Stone · Jun 20, 2002

Same here Jay. I'm going to hit the theater straight from work tomorrow. I can't wait!

Scott Weinberg · Jun 20, 2002

My review will be up later tonight, but Minority Report may be my favorite movie so far this year. (I need to see it again to be sure.)
From my good buddy James Berardinelli's review:
Now that's some high praise indeed!

I checked the times for Minority Report, and found it odd that each theater I looked at only had about 4 showings in a day of the film. Anyone know why that might be? It will be very crowded.

It might be only showing on one screen at said theaters, but I highly doubt that. If you're looking at Fandango's site or any site that takes their info from Fandango, you might want to check again tomorrow as they usually don't post all the times till opening day of the movie.

After all the rave reviews, I'm going to see the film either tomorrow or Saturday. I can't wait to see what Spielberg has in store for us.

And it's a somewhat-longer-than-usual movie, at 140 minutes (plus previews).

Craig S · Jun 20, 2002

I've already purchased my ticket for the 4 PM show tomorrow!! Now I'm just praying that no emergencies pop up at work tomorrow PM...

Peter Kim · Jun 20, 2002

Not sure if people are aware of this little fact (I wasn't) - Minority Report is based on a short by Philip Dick (1956). He also wrote the short story for which Blade Runner is based on.

Pretty fine pedigree...I'm anxiously awaiting this movie. I've never seen so many movies on opening night in one year. This one will probably be added to the list.

Mark McLeod · Jun 20, 2002

I'll be seeing it in just over three hours. Man I love being well hooked up.

Roger Ebert's 4 star review of Minority Report:

A month ago I was only slightly interested in this movie, but now I can't wait. Tomorrow can't get here soon enough!

Steeve Bergeron · Jun 20, 2002

Rotten Tomatoes has 45 reviews for Minority Report. Only one is negative! That's very impressive!

Bill Slack · Jun 20, 2002

A little off topic here...

So I go to buy tickets for it. But I can't buy them for MR at any AMC/GC in my area. What the heck? I can buy tix for it at the Loews and other theaters. I can buy tix for any other movies. No, it can't be that all the shows for the next week at 20 theaters are sold out...

Anyone else run into the same thing and know why? (It's been like this for a couple days.)

Rich Romero · Jun 20, 2002

Minority Report definitely looks like a movie I will love. I like futuristic city type movies. I loved Blade Runner, Total Recall, and the beginning of Episode II and this looks even better. Spielberg is most definitely at the most interesting point in his career. A.I. was easily one of the better films of last year, even if it was a modern remake of Pinocchio.

Scott Weinberg · Jun 20, 2002

OK, my review is up in the appropriate thread. Plus it's on the TOP of the Minority Report page over at Rotten Tomatoes! (I love when they list the critics in Z - A fashion!)

This seems to be one of those movies you like MORE a few hours after watching it. Hope you guys have a great time with it!

Kami · Jun 20, 2002

Nice review Scott...I am so looking forward to this flick. Gonna see it tomorrow FOR SURE.

Nick Sievers · Jun 20, 2002

Thanks for posting the review, much better than I can put into words

. You nailed it Scott, its better a few hours after viewing it.

Seth Paxton · Jun 20, 2002

I'm not reading yet because I want no spoilers, but this is the only place that I can say that I'm more excited because I forgot that Scott Frank was writing and that I LOVE Get Shorty and Out of Sight (the 2 best Elmore Leonard translations IMO).

I'll be joining the club tomorrow and noon Indy time.

Sarah Temple · Jun 21, 2002

did anyone see ebert when he reviewed Minority Report on his nice little television show? i happened to be watching, and he showed clips from it that gave me intense goose bumps!! he kept showing the combination of classic film techniques and new aged technology and how they are intertwined to make a masterpiece. i am so psyched about seeing it tonight!!!!

Jim_C · Jun 21, 2002

One critic here in Boston has given the movie 4 stars. He NEVER gives sci-fi more than 3 stars. He seems to have a biased against sci-fi IMO.

I was thinking that this was a DVD purchase but now I'll be headed to the theater asap.
