Feeble sci-fi, ludicrous police procedural, hodge-podge movie

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2014)

Just a so-so movie IMO. In spite of its huge budget, it barely makes it as a sci-fi epic: there's only one jet-car, for example. The scene in which Tom Cruise (as Anderton) grabs on to a cop and uses his jet-foil to escape is colourful, but silly. (There's even a blatant continuity error, in spite of the massive budget.) The plot is absurd, with so many holes in it that that our heads spin with the multiple flashbacks, or flash-forwards or whatever they are. The female "pre-cog" has a see- through garment that exposes her nipples while she's in the water, but later there's an undergarment that makes her decent. We're never quite sure whether Anderton committed the murder or not, which is wildly confusing. The ending is just discursive, via a cell-phone call, and bang the bad-guy shoots himself. Really disappointing. There's not even a chase at the end: very poor film-scripting! Overall, miss this one is my recommendation.
