Sci Fi Flick That Hits the Mark

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2002)

Plan to be on the edge of your seat for this excellent offering by Stephen Spielberg.
The year is 2054; the pre-crime unit headed by Tom Cruise has virtually eliminated murder in Washington D.C. The creator of the program, Max Van Sydow is very protective of the program and will do anything to keep it from being taken from him. Three psychics suspended in a watery solution regularly predict murders before they are committed. Tom Cruise is haunted by the kidnapping of his six year old son seven years before. He and his estranged wife (the relationship between the two is warm and believable) have abandoned their marriage because they both are in so much pain from the loss of their son.
The sci fi is very believable. People are identified in shopping centers by their eyeballs. Cars speed vertically and horizontally on invisible tracks.
I've seen the movie twice and enjoyed it even more the second time.
