Okay, 4 stars for the setting and Tom's sake

It's a good sci-fi movie. In 2002, there was a sci-fi movie with good script and special effects scenes. There are many sci-fi settings in it that may not seem like much now, but there are also many novelties, such as the ubiquitous eyeball recognition (the part of changing the eyes made my eyes hurt), AR scenes, strange-shaped guns, vertical roads And driverless cars, etc. In addition, maybe because this film is a bit suspenseful and criminal, the whole scene is dark, and it seems that the city in the future high-tech era is still messy. (It’s really dirty, Yue said the plot, this setting is good, there are many strange future sci-fi settings in the United States. In the future, people can use three prophets to prevent crimes, but in order to maintain the whole system, the boss will He used a loophole in the system to kill the Prophet's mother, and later designed the male protagonist to kill and go to prison. After the truth came out, the boss committed suicide, and the system was abolished.

There are a few points that are more confusing. First, do people like prophets really exist? Are they four-dimensional creatures? If you have to go into battle to kill yourself, it would be better to hire another killer. Third, do prophets have no human rights? After they agree, they will put people in the fourth place. How to sentence someone who is premeditated to murder and impulsive murder is arrested in advance? It is not mentioned in it, and the criminals who kill people in modern times can also let the wind out, see their relatives and so on. But the criminals who are locked up in the movie are all in tubes and can't seem to do anything. Fifth, it is unreasonable to release all criminals unconditionally at the end...

Sixth, the system itself is fragile, because the nature of the system is human. It depends on the prophet, not without the female prophet. It also depends on the police to solve the case in time to find the location and the murderer. This is not very reliable. , and the prophets don’t know everything, why should they treat them as machines, and let them tell them where they are directly? In short, the prophets should be able to know more information, which should be more reliable than the police themselves in solving the case.

Seventh, the plants in the movie are really... as if looking at plants in another world

Eighth, why are you taking advantage of Tom?

In short, I think the highlight of this film is mainly in the suspenseful crime and the last two problems.
