this does not relate to the gadgets, but the thing that drives me nuts about this movie, and i'll have to read the story to see if it has the same problem--haven't gotten around to that yet, is that it has a fatal flaw of logic. if anderson is being framed, and the precogs see the most likely future, then one would have to be able to manipulate the precogs' visions and make them see anderson commiting murder. otherwise, the precogs are seeing something IN ORDER that it may happen. think about it, if there's no vision of him doing the crime, he never goes and does it. self-fulfilling prophecy, which seems the exact opposite of the point of the precogs. they see the most likely course of events, right, so why would they see something that wouldn't happen, UNLESS THEY SEE IT? if there's a flaw in my logic, please point it out.
i really enjoyed this movie when i saw it, btw, but about 20 mins after i left the theater this problem occurred to me and i lost a lot of respect for the movie.
