Minority Report (Single Disc Edition) Reviews
"Can You See?" ~ Choice In An Otherwise Predictable Future
'Minority Report' is a fascinating excursion into the future, 2054 to be exact, where pre-cognitiion is used to read the minds of the public at large and prevent the crime of murder before it occurs. Interesting concept don't you think, incarcerating someone for a crime before it's committed. However what looks at first like a error proof system, a flaw seems to appear when police officer John Anderton (Tom Cruise), chief of the the pre-crime division appears as the murder suspect in one of the pre-cogs visions of the future.
Be prepared for an entertaining adventure that boasts not only wonderful special effects, but a lot to think about as well.
The evils of big government...one of those "warning" films.
This one really makes you think. It's frightening to imagine a world where the gov't monitors so much, has that much control, always knows where you are (the eye scanning, the spiders running around the city checking IDs). Not surprisingly, Libertarians promote this film.
Creepiest scenes - eye transplant, Agatha's lake memory (especially discovering the identity of her mother's killer), the greenhouse with the weird plants, the floating prison cells.
And then there are the obvious ethical questions - is it right to arrest someone before they actually commit a crime? I mean, people are arrested for attempted robbery, rape, and murder, but you don't get locked up for the rest of your life (although plenty or murderers and rapists certainly DESERVE life in prison...and/or castration, in the case of rapists). It's a tempting idea, but how do you know what you're going to do until you do it?
If I were one of the potential victims, I would be grateful to the Precrime Unit for killing the criminal before harm came to me. It's a sort of self-defense. If the police didn't kill him, maybe I would have, and that would have been legal. Like I said, it really makes you think.
