The story involves the creation of a machine that can view the future.  It starts predicting war, and by consequence creates it.

There's also a scene where the machine is rigged to explode and the antagonist sees himself running out and being blown up, then runs out and gets blown up.

How about trading us a new beta!!   


It sounds vaguely familiar to me but I can't recall a title I'm afraid.

Oh, I love this movie...Paycheck with Ben Affleck, Aaron Eckhart, Uma Thurman and Paul Giamatti .
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Thought about it and dismissed it because I thought that this would be too easy.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Thanks!  I had considered and dismissed it as well - I remember the whole plot device of sending himself innocuous items but I had thought it was a very similar movie.  It's so similar it's exact!  Man I am getting old...

Thanks again!  Off to watch it w/some family who haven't seen it.

No, no, no

It could have been Minority Report lol

Paycheck is a pretty bad film when is John Woo going to stop with all the slow motion walking dove flying in nonsense.

He is Chinas Michael Bay.

Although his Hong Kong stuff is mostly solid.
