What was interesting about Minority Report is that the technical consultant for the interface depicted in the movie is a guy who is actually working on a real solution; John Underkoffler. Contrast that with most movie computer interfaces that involve a lot of inane keyboard slamming or hand waving that has no real chance at ever becoming an actual product, and you can see where the difference in interest comes from. That's not to say that no other movie used a notable technical consultant, but Underkoffler's group have come closer to implementing the real thing than anyone else I know of.
