After reading Stealth spoiler:
Ah, so it's a predestination paradox without any actual time traveling. Thought that might be the case.

I don't suppose this movie has much talking about how this "crime prediction" works? Yawn... and anyway, if someone perfected predicting crime, what else would they be able to do rather than crime prediction?

they didn't perfect predicting crime, it's just that these 'poor children' that dream of murders that come true can be linked to computers, and... well... see my previous post  i guess in a way they DID perfect predicting crime, but occasionally they make mistakes, called "Minority Reports"

Hm, looks like the Punisher 2099 "criminal intent scanner". Damn, was that thing funny.

I want that Lexus.

i'll tell you what i want...:


SPOILER (HIGHLIGHT) :
when Tom Cruise is running away from the 'agency' in that car-manufacturing warehouse, and he steals that gun from one guy... the one that you fire like this shockwave thing, and then you twist it around and fire again... remember that?



THAT's what i want

My point is, you can't be arrested of a crime if it never happens.

You have been charged with a precrime.  Please stay calm, do not run.

That depends on whether or not reality is deterministic.

Erm, sorray, but it's, well, not.

It's funny, becuase everything that everyone is saying is talked about in the movie.

As someone said they do no time travel and yes they do talk heavily about how the crimes are seen. The paradox that some of you are getting oh so worked up after is actually a scene in the movie and as such you simply must see it. It won't all make sense even then but you'll have a good idea anyway and believe me it's worth it. Now I just have to wait for it to come out on DVD.

There is a scene in the beginning in which the Justice Department agent is talking to Anderton (cruise) and states, basically, the same thing.

Anderton rolls a ball across a ledge toward the agent. It rolls off but the agent catches it.

"Why did you catch that?" asks Anderton.

"It was going to fall," says the agent.

"How do you know? It might not have, but you knew it would. Just because you stopped it from falling doesn't mean it wasn't going to happen," Anderton concludes.

Excellent flick. About 30min too long. The chase sequences needed to be cut a little, the green house scene needed to be reshot without the wasting so much time at the green house, the jetpack scene could have done with some cutting, but other than that, it was incredible.

And if anyone has questions about the end, if you catch me on ICQ in the next few minutes, I can explain it all.
