Overhyped, never ending product placement, but thought provoking.

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2002)

Boy, they sure wanna sell us that Lexus, don't they? I'll bet the car manufacturer was expecting people to be lining up around the block for a copy of Tom's car! I did like the scenes with the vertical freeway systems going up the sides of the buildings, (instead of aircars). I also liked the mall entrance retina scanner, that bombarded Anderton with "personalized advertising", sort of a verbal version of the spam that we all get in our email. But I thought it was stupid that the Gap sold exactly the same styles of clothes that we all wear now. I do think the movie should have ended sooner. *Possible Spoilers* I still can't figure out why Max VonSydow had Anderton set up to meet the fake kidnapper of his son. Why would he want Anderton out of the way? Anderton never knew VonSydow had murdered the mother of Agatha the precog, until after he was set up, near the end of the film. Also, who was the real kidnapper of Anderton's son? I think it was the "surgeon" who told Tom about how he had wanted revenge against him for being sent to prison, while he was under the drug influence just before the eyeball switch. All in all, far too bleak a future for me to live in...
