Minority Report

I've seen the movie but I hardly remember it from scene to scene. I only know about the general idea and that it takes place in the future like the story does, with a few minor differences. In the movie, I believe the names of the precriminals (hah!) were branded onto small little golf ball sized alloy balls. In the story version, the future is still dealing with 1956 model punch-cards. Phil Dick didn't think that one out.

I don't know how such an innovative answer to crime would end up in the law's hand in the film version. The government would be controlling every little bit like in the story. The last thing I can't possibly believe is that some general would come around trying to discredit Anderton, when this operation prevents 99.8% of all crimes from ever happening. It can't be done. What's even worse is that Anderton ends up killing him because he apparently fell for his empty threats.

92% on the Tomatometer. I don't remember this being all that special, but I'll probably enjoy it more this time around after reading the story. So glad we are watching a movie tomorrow! Happy Friday everyone!
