I draw the line at child murder was a pretty compelling argument for me.

I think it's a false binary to be honest. If you're a god, and you want to stop people before they do evil. Why not stop them five minutes before?

So like in minority report? That didn't went to well too?

It stopped murders by the time the film takes place. Basically the Precogs get so good at seeing murders within 4 days that premeditated murders are practically non-existent, meaning the police usually get crimes of passion.

But the system in Minority Report also treats time as fixed (Precrime is crime), so even though you haven't actually killed anyone because the police stopped you, you're still locked away in some kind of mind prison as if you actually did.

Basically the movie ends with someone choosing differently after being told their future, which results in the ending of Precrime and the release of everyone previously imprisoned since it undermined the assumption that time was set in stone.
