Films like Minority Report.

Minority Report (2002) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured sci-fi / thriller, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
