The weirdness of actor Nicolas Cage and the weirdness of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick seem like a natural fit. The premise, taken from a short story by Dick, is a good one: A mediocre Las Vegas magician named Chris Johnson (Cage) can see into the future--but only about two minutes at the most. Just enough to pull off his act and to make some money at the gambling tables, so long as he's discreet. Unfortunately, he hasn't been discreet enough; a government agent (Julianne Moore) has sussed out his precognitive talent and wants to use him to track down terrorists. But all Johnson cares about is a beautiful young woman (Jessica Biel, The Illusionist) that he can see in his future--much further in his future than he's ever seen before. Next has flashes that point to a much, much better movie than it turned out to be. A sequence in which Johnson, clairvoyantly explores all the different permutations of how he might approach his mystery woman is both funny and thought-provoking, and when Johnson avoids pursuers by knowing just the right moment to turn a corner or duck his head, it's smart and suspenseful. Unfortunately, the terrorist part of the plot is utterly perfunctory and precognition is reduced to an action movie gimmick. Somewhere in there is the kernel of a romantic comedy about precognition that's just waiting to be made. Cage gives a solid if unsurprising performance, Moore is basically earning a paycheck, but Biel is unexpectedly good (and her part is considerably better-written than your usual romantic interest); her performance suggests a better future than anyone might have predicted. --Bret Fetzer Beyond Next

 Does not even work in any dvd player June 21, 2009
D. Dillon (USA)
I was very disappointed that this dvd didn't work in any dvd players or on my lap top. I was so looking forward to watching this movie and was very upset it didn't work.
 Good movie, but lacks development April 17, 2009
Kyle Mallory
While Next is an interesting story and not one I've really heard yet, it does lack some development. They should've spent some of their budget on making the film a little longer to develop the stories and characters a little more. Honestly, a 2 hour movie is not hard to sit through. A 90 minute movie that doesn't make sense is hard to sit through.
The story will take some time to understand, you may not understand it until the end but it is a good story, again it just lacks some development. Cage's character definitely lacks development as it is hard to understand how he does some of these things until after he does them. The relationship with Biel's character can be easily explained, however it is somewhat creepy if you know their age difference.
Overall this was an interesting and one I'll probably watch again as it kept my attention for most of the movie and was fairly entertaining. I give it a 7 because it just wasn't developed enough.
 Pleasantly surprised March 4, 2009

Nicolas Cage the psychic. The guy has prophetic ability two minutes into the future, but uses his powers to case Vegas slots and do bad magic tricks.. Terrorists plot detonate a massive bomb in a major metropolitan area. The feisty F.B.I. agent Julianne Moore learns of Cage's ability and wants to use him to find the bomb, and the killer babe in Jessica Biel falls with vacant eyes for our star. All the ingredients for a bad z movie. But it is good. I've watched it twice, and would definitely recommend it. Cage gets around and does some diverse roles, to the say the least. My other favorites of his are Gone in Sixty Seconds [Region 2], and starring Sean Connery, The Rock
Entertaining March 2, 2009
S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)
This is a rather good show that could have been great. It does not live up to its potential, but is still fun.
Nicholas Cage stars as Chris Johnson (stage name Frank Cadillac), a mediocre Las Vegas illusionist with a unique ability. He has the capability to see two minutes into the future. This has helped his entertainment career quite a bit. Unfortunately for him, the FBI and some terrorists have both figured it out also and are trying to get their hands on him. His only concern is a woman that he has met, her safety, and his relationship with her.
The story has quite a few twists and turns and more than a few great parts. It really was very good. It just could have been quite a bit better. Nevertheless, it is a fun way to spend 90 minutes or so.
 I made a mistake, it is happening now! February 22, 2009
Golden Lion (North Ogden, Ut United States)
The plot on this movie is amazing. The bad guys are watching the FBI. The FBI is watching Cris Johnson, who can see two minutes into the future.
A self-referential, infinite regression loop, allowed Cris to see Liz execution in the future. The second alternate reality, they all die in a nuclear explosion. The third alternate reality was not revealed.
Cris is a human quantum computing machine with access to N dimensional pathway capablity, the "One".
Cris can see further into the future when around Liz. Cris realizes his plan will fail and negotiates with the FBI agent, Callie Ferris for an alternative plan excluding Liz. The two drive off without knowing, if that reality saved Liz. Maybe all roads lead to the death of Liz and the detonation. An amazing twist, a paradox, a looping structure with no exit. Should they have done nothing?
Your not sure, if it is destiny for Liz to die and the nuke to detonate. The plot is amazing. Perhaps, better than "Lake House" because the ending seems to be predictable, defeat the bad guys. However, at the end of the movie, did the bad guys get defeated and their plan foiled?
