Very Good (by millerwoodfilms) |
A lot of people say it was boring with no plot twists. Well they must of been watching a different movie. First the ending was really unexpected and you don't see it coming. Second there was a LOT of suspense. You get so into the movie the time goes by very fast. The movie runs smoothly and I didn't see anything left out. And the way they use his ability to see into the future doesn't confuse, or get rid of suspense. The end of the movie what makes it great and no one saw it coming. The locations in the movie were all very cool too. The only complaint I had was in most of the car <more> |
be NEXT in line for a great movie. (by DarkVulcan29) |
What would you do if you could a few minutes in the future? How would you use this gift? That is what Nicolas Cage has to answer, he plays Cris Johnson, a Las Vegas magician, who everybody thinks he full of tricks, but he is not, Cris can see a few minutes in the future. Cris soon realizes that he is pursued by FBI agent Callie Ferris Julianne Moore and her team in hopes that he will help stop a bomb threat. He meets up with a beautiful young teacher Jessica Biel and they end up traveling together. But Will Cris help the FBI before it's too late. A well done movie it is up there with <more> |
GREAT film!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by markbh) |
We got to see an Early screening of Next on Wednesday night. I do not want to spoil it, so i will be brief,except to say that it was great! Most of the people in the theaterseemed to enjoy it. It was adventurous, funny at times,and Jessica Biel gave a great, very natural performance. Some of the scenery was very pretty. It has a fantastic ending. WE liked it very much, it is a definite go see film. Nicolas Cage was excellent in his role as Cris Johnson. He did a great job in his performance. It was interesting to see Alice Kim his wife playing a very small role in the film. She did a good job <more> |
Great action movie (by wesleysparsons) |
I completely disagree with the last review. This movie is one of the best action movies I've seen in a while. The action is not overwhelming, and all the scenes are well done. The best part of all is that, unlike most movies these days, the previews don't give away every good scene. Given, the previews give away almost all of the entire plot, but we are talking about the same author who wrote Minority Report. So, why not a 10? The only downside would have to be that some of the acting is not as good as you would hope. Jessica Biel is not unconvincing as a love interest, but she's <more> |
Unexpectedly Good (by andymcnish) |
I saw this movie on sale for a bargain £3. I had never heard of it, but Nicholas Cage is usually watchable, Lee Tamahori did the brilliant Once Were Warriors and the 'look 2 minutes into the future' Macguffin sounded intriguing enough; so I bought it and put it in the DVD player after dinner for myself and the wife to watch.It was really good and kept us both on the edge of our seats until the end the ending was also very clever IMHO .Actually the best movie along maybe with Watchmen that I've seen this year.I imagine the pitch was something like 'Groundhog Day meets Die <more> |
This Is Awesome!!! Do NOT Listen To The Naysayers Who Can't Understand This Film! (by Elswet) |
I'll start this review by saying that this work will NOT be everyone's cup of tea. It is what my good friend DragonChylde calls a "niche film," and that analogy fits as good as any. What that means is that there is a small corner of the audience-mill who will love and appreciate it for what it is. Only those in a "niche" audience will "get" this film.If you are into science fiction, political thrillers, pseudo-sciences, or paranormal studies, then you will more than likely highly enjoy this work. Otherwise, the plot twists, the time shifts, and the story <more> |
Good. Not cheesy, Not overblown. Just pretty darn good. (by BroadswordCallinDannyBoy) |
Cris Johnson has the ability to see 2 minutes into his own future. He works a low-level magic act in Las Vegas with this secret ability and also makes money gambling. However, an FBI Agent sees his uncanny ability to foresee the immediate future and tries to get him to foil a terrorist plot.The basic plot outline above isn't wholly exciting and can initially smell of outdated Cold War plot lines. And seeing that it is in the hands of Hollywood in the form of big budget action vehicle it will definitely turn many viewers off. The recent highly contrived sci-fi action movie "Deja <more> |
Great mindbender (by timhayes-1) |
Next is one of those films that requires a second viewing. There's a lot going on and the plot doubles back on itself multiple times. Granted, there are some plot holes and some motivations are suspect, but overall it tends to entertain and keep you going more often than not.Nicolas Cage plays Cris Johnson, a man who can see two minutes into the future and predict what will happen. The problem is that the future constantly shifts and every action will change the next future. The fact that he can only see up to 2 minutes ahead also limits him somewhat. It does however help greatly in his <more> |
