Embarrassingly Poor Movie - Pg13?

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2002)

SPOILERS======================================> First off, I wonder how this film could have received a PG13 rating. No way. The film starting with a violently staged stabbing? Child abduction? Adults Having Sex? Plus the feel is not PG13. Someone must have pulled some strings to increase their profits? $$$$$$$$$ This aspect of the film angered me, it was totally inappropriate. Doesn't Speilberg have enough money?
But placing that aside, the acting, filming etc... are all fine - no problems, there are some cool things in this film
but
The story is the goofiest, most predictable nonsense i have seen in a long time. I was totally bored with this film. The annoying aspects of this film constantly brought me out of the magic of the film experience by presenting ridiculously incoherent situations, even within the internal logic of the film itself. The future, high-tech world it presents us with thre pre-cogs, these very cool large computer screens interfacing by waving hands like a conductor. But the names are carved on a wood ball, something to do with unique wood grain. - I just started laughing. These silly inconsistancies continue giving us all a good laugh throughout the movie, these guys get paid for this?????
I do not want to go thru each item, but the most awful of all was the comically predictable scene where the wife says something to the effect of "But i didn't say she was drowned" - thus exposing the Old Man. (I thought i was in A Scooby-doo film) I lost it at that point. Maybe it that plot twist was not used again until 2052 it might work but as for now - it is comical.
Then there is the absurd items with the eyeballs - high tech world and the only security is an eye scan. Plus a cold - dead - eye scan, from a wanted criminal-to-be.
Then the annoying product placement, we are suppose to be amused by the new annoying methods of pusing products at us, systems knowing too much about us. The movie shows that time is not is the future - it is now.
Then there is the ending - much too long in getting there. But there is a "happy ending"??? The precogs get to live out their lifes in seclusion and the world goes back to normal. And they get back together and have a baby. ugh. But that means that they abandoned the system that basically worked - so are we suppose to leave saying feeling good - or bad for all the people who will be murdered now that things are back to "normal"
