Pretty good for a mainstream sci-fi

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2005)

Saw it at the cinema a few years ago & took the opportunity to watch it again last night. I think the futuristic feel of the city & appartments was very good. The technology to make adverts respond to individuals through retinal scans isn't really all that far away although I guess the bit that stretched it for me was the eye transplants. I supposed society will respond to that level of surveillance, but it seemed a bit basic compared with the level of technology of the time it was all set in.
Performances were solid, Cruise better than some of his films, but Morton screamed a bit too much for me. A good twist at the end and enough complexity to push it above the pre-teen "Battlestar Galactica" audience. As long as you're prepared to accept the concept of precrime without too much argument, then you'll be rewarded.
