Gotta suspend disbelief!

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2004)

As any Sci-Fi fan will confirm, suspension of disbelief is the core of fiction. It's why we see movies in the first place... escapism. When suspension of disbelief is disrupted, the entire pursuit is for naught!
In "Minority Report", Spielberg has undertaken the task of creating a very complex and detailed future world. A world rife with technical and extra-sensory wizardry.
It is a shame, then, that after having painstakingly created this elaborate world, he throws away the audience's suspension of disbelief with a GRIEVOUS technical error!
As anyone who has worked in a position requiring "card-key" access will tell you, upon leaving that position, the "card-key" is surrendered or rendered useless - eliminating the possibility of access by a former employee.
One of the critical actions that our hero (a fugitive from justice, at this point) takes in this film is to infiltrate his former employer using his OLD EYE (essentially his OLD CARD-KEY)!!!
From that point on in the film, all hope was lost. The security system at this cutting edge, high tech, high security facility simply permits the access of a disgruntled former employee who happens to be currently wanted for murder?!
Despite the impressive special effects and capable acting, I can only recommend "Minority Report" for a good laugh.
