if you haven't seen minority report, i would recommend that you do. i am not big into science fiction but this film is so much more than just sci-fi. it is a well made mix that i would call "futuristic-film noir". and the film poses some great questions about fate, determinism, free will, foreknowledge, and the theory of self-fulfilled prophecy.
(this post is about TECHNOLOGY, so i will revisit these deeper topics in a later post)
so, if you own this movie on dvd, then you should have the bonus features disc. WATCH IT! they talk about the technology and how they came up with the ideas for everything that is seen in the movie. they explain how they pulled together some of the world's most respected scientists, architects, and engineers to paint a picture of what they felt the world would look like in the year 2054 (or something like that). so all of the vehicles, weaponry, computer operating systems, buildings, transportation systems and media-technology advancements are not just imagination but rather a sneak peak at what is to come. and some of it is already upon us. get familiar!
also, there is this.
