Whoa, awesome movie. The suspense and intensity of this film is what got me so deeply interested in the story. Speilberg creates a strange and intimidating future that blurs the line between justice and power and creates a compelling thriller that definitely gets the blood pumping. The cold colors in the city and the warm colors in the rural scenes set a tone that compliments the attitude of the characters therein. The tracking shots of Cruise give sequences a sense of urgency and the pace of the editing seems to correlate well with the rate of the audiences heart beats. I love the special effects in the movie, from the precrime office to the future highways and even the spider bots that make that bathtub scene one of the most tense sequences in a sci-fi movie from 2002. The dutch angles employed by Speilberg are used in twisted scenes, where the emotions of the characters are unraveling or something unsettling is happening. This film does a magnificent job at influencing mood using lighting and color, framing, and music. Compared to other sci-fi movies or thrillers, this is easily among my favorites.
