Minority Report

Where did they establish the range of the precogs in Minority Report???

They established their "jurisdiction," not their range. In fact, the system was all set to go national. Um, but there were no more precogs. Seems the 3 would have to expand their range considerably.

And, of course, I think it makes perfect sense that the precogs have such a psychic connection with their own mother that you couldn't murder her on Mars without them knowing about it.

(And of course, if something bugs you, it just does. I can certainly see how it seems off kilter in WotW for the ending to be quite so sappy, and slightly less but still off kilter in MR for things to wrap up so neatly. It's the connection to the general and specific source material that make those elements work for me in both those movies. But I'll admit, that kind of thing should not be necessary .... audiences should not have to be aware of source material or genres.)
