Paycheck

I loved it. Sure there are plot holes (hey, it’s a movie that screws around with time), but it was tight enough to be fairly convincing. It seems to cover slightly different ground to Minority Report which was also based on a Phillip K Dick story. The pre-crime predictions in Minority Report were a once off prediction and were changeable once you became aware of them. On the other hand, Jennings in Paycheck was not aware of his “preset future” at all, having had his memory wiped. Therefore, it was a case of where the crystal ball machine predicted his future (I don’t think that’s a spoiler, you get told that in the trailer) with 100% pinpoint accuracy, regardless of what he did. But otherwise, the two movies had really similar feels.

This movie has got a hammering by the critics, but I loved it also. I went into it not knowing who starred(after all, if I knew it was Affleck I’d have left), but soon got into it.

Sidenote : Me and my mates agree that Uma is not an absolute stunner, and there are many far better. In fact, the 3d holgram type chick in the monitor at the start was a total babe.
