    I didn’t even realize that the Minority Report was originally a book. I loved the movie, I can only imagine it is even more horrifying than the movie was.

      Well, some thinks were based in the fear of the time, and other are completely different. For instance, the precogs were deformed mutants with latent abilities; Anderton was the Police Chief and was close to retirement, and Witver was his young second-in-command; Anderton’s victim is a completely different person; the precogs know the other’s predictions and knowing them affect their own predictions and the future; Anderton’s crime is justified, and when he’s encarcerated, Witver takes his position and wonders if he will be forced to make a similar decision in the future.
