Minority Report stars Tom Cruise and a little bit of Colin Farrell in a world where Washington DC has a Precrime department that can predict when a murder will take place. It can also predict who is killing who- then these Precrime Cops get out there and arrest the would be murderer. Apparently pre-meditated crime was eliminated and this crime fighting until has prevented all murder in the District all together. But of course that is not the whole movie-that would be boring! There is some classic switch on a switch, edge of your seat action. Your brain gets a work out while watching this film as you figure out the plot and if there are weaknesses to the Precrime system. As you can imagine with his skeptical eyebrows, Colin Farrell is suspicious and Tom Cruise always looks concerned as he figures out the story was well.
It has been long established that I love these kind of movies that make you think and you feel smarter if you figure out the story before the movie wants you to. But I have also explained to you as my blog followers that even though I have seen all of these movies before, I never remember what happens in them and I am always surprised! I had forgotten about some of the more gross scenes in this movie that involve eyeballs. And snot.
The Precrime Department gets all of its information from these three "Pre-Cogs" who float in this pool of water and we read their thoughts. There are two men and one woman who are the Pre-Cogs predicting all this crime. And of course the woman Pre-Cog is the smartest and the key to the whole puzzle. Her memories and her brain prove to be the key to solving a long unsolved murder. While the idea of three semi-comatose, floating in water geniuses predicting crime is a bit far fetched but my friend Brandon does think the idea of having prisons keep prisoners in halos might be realistic. You know that pinterest pin that uses THINK to describe how we should think as people before we speak or type? While it might appear too juvenile for some college students- the message is important. Gossip is dangerous and harmful on your floor, or at a smaller college where everyone already knows everyone else's business. If we all were a little kinder to each other the world be a better place.
