Minority Report

Good, solid sci-fi flick. Nice balance of story, characters/acting, visuals, etc. In fact the visuals are excellent -- a whole world of future Washington D.C., with a lot of cool tech, but some oppressive overtones, and then plenty of seedier parts of town, country homes, and so on. I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but he does a nice job as lead. One of my favorite Spielberg flicks. I appreciate that he doesn't dumb it down -- you have to pay attention, there's a lot going on, and you have to think through the implications of being able to "know" the future ahead of time, destiny vs. free will, etc...
