Brain On/ Brain Off It is my hope that when they release the DVD of Minority Report that it will include a special feature whereby a tiny brain will pop up in the bottom right corner to let viewers know whether they should be thinking or not. There are so many scenes in which it pays to be thinking about what's happening and, sadly, just as many where you should smash yourself in the head with a hefty dictionary.

Brain On	Brain Off
Murder is stopped by Precrime unit	Silly jetpack battle
Though Tom needs to escape, he shows concern for fellow cop hanging from fire escape	Tom escapes in freshly built car
Tom Cruise conducts the murder board	Precrime going national? If Tom has trouble locating a murder in Georgetown, how can he find one in the woods in Georgia??? or a desert in Texas???
Tom succumbs to drugs: his cereal box talks to him	Tom's eyes bounce away like superballs
Tom gets offered a Guinness	Tom's eyes still open doors after he's a convicted murderer
Tom visits the greenhouse and gets frenched by an old woman	Tom's ex-wife is given his stuff including the murder weapon
Tom hides in the ice bath	Tom gets spider-lasered right in his new Japanese eyball with no ill effects
Tom and precog at the mall	Tom's eyes still open doors after he's a convicted murderer
In the future police use non-lethal weapons	Doesn't anyone work in the Lexus plant? Aren't there safety protocols to shut down the plant if someone falls into the assembly line? (There sure are lots of barrels filled with water around...why? lots of fires in the plant???)
The true evil is revealed--Rollo Tomasi!
Tom fulfulls his destiny and kills
