The story by Phillip K. Dick was written before computers were common.
Like most movies the story was better, but the movie was still well done.

I had the same feeling about the ball initially, but got past it. I
think the wooden ball was just a legacy of a time when a computer's
primary output device was a punch card instead of a monitor.
* spoiler alert, in case anyone cares *
The premise of the story was pretty intense, that an event in the future
can be predicted and prevented without temporal consequence. The way it
played out as a morality tale, however, didn't appeal to me as much.
I didn't understand why the head of precog would be so paranoid about
that one video after so many years. It seemed to me he could have
remained quiet about it a little while longer and gained a lot more.
Tom Cruise's character was pretty cool. It was hard to fathom how that
chain of events was going to take him where he ended up, and that it was
linked to the actions of the director in the way it was.

This is what i find kinda silly. Why do they have to have the name
carved into a ball/marble? Why not just have it displayed on a screen,
without getting fancy schmancy. If anything, it will save time. I hate
it when they add in this "cool" factor and it just turns out to be
silly...for me anyways
What else did you think about the film?
