Minority Report is scary accurate for being ~20years old

It was released in 2002, and I remember watching it when I was much younger and then the concepts were comprehensible, but seemed somewhat far fetched at the time.Now, watching it as an adult, and given the world we live in today, the movie is eerily accurate in regards to technology and law enforcement. Obviously, our reality is lacking the anomaly of the Twins, but with the progression in AI and surveillance (gotta love the Patriot Act) it gives me chills knowing that the writers of this film so accurately projected a realistic future of what life could look like for the year 2054.The scene that has always stuck out to me was when the spiders are released into the apartment complex by the police to locate Tom Cruise and they reach the arguing couple who stop screaming at each other mid-sentence to allow the spiders to scan their retina, then continue the brawl like nothing happened. I could see something similar becoming a part of our “normal” life in the future.The film is almost 20 years old, and were basically half way to 2054. I’d wager the odds of us ending up in a similar society aren’t too far off.Creepy stuff. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2A21XrA
