Minority Report

Sõprus will celebrate the new sci-fi by the father of the blockbuster and all-round biggest Hollywood influencer Steven Spielberg by bringing three of his previous science-fiction films back on the big screen. We will start with "Minority Report" on the 7th of June. 

Steven Spielberg’s loose adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s short story is a convincing, tech-heavy vision of a future world where would-be lawbreakers are apprehended before committing a crime. Aided in his work by three psychic ‘precogs’, PreCrime Captain John Anderton (Tom Cruise) finds himself on the wrong side of the law when it’s predicted that he will commit a murder.

An exhilarating blend of neo-noir thriller, whodunnit and science fiction, Minority Report also features a dizzying range of advanced technology, much of which has since become, if not reality as the film sees it, too close to being so to ignore. Iris recognition, self-driving cars, insect robots and predictive policing itself have all come a long way in the, relatively, short space of time since Spielberg’s well-received blockbuster was released. As the director enlisted the help of a team of futurists to devise the gadgetry on display, perhaps this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
