Review: Next with Nicholas Cage is my kind of movie! Exciting and action packed while the main character sees into the future! I have to say it is one of the better movies that I have seen lately! I just happened to run across it at my local library this ...

The Bottom Line: Nick Cage and Jessica Biel give us an action packed film, with a dash of time travel.

Review: the story Cris Johnson is a magician who works an act at a Vegas casino as Frank Cadillac. Aside from his amazing slight of hand, Cris hides a secret from the world about an outstanding ability he possesses, he can see into the future - ...

Pros: Nicolas Cage; Julianne Moore; great action scenes

Cons: Jessica Biel; overuse of CGI; disappointing finale

The Bottom Line: Lee Tamahori makes things somewhat better again in this flawed, but entertaining Phillip K. Dick adaptation.

Review: Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) possesses the unique ability to witness the events of the immediate future moments before they happen. He, of course, uses it during his magician acts at Las Vegas when under his alter-ego Frank Cadillac. Of course, he has ...

Pros: Interesting premise

Cons: Lacking in most every area except for Jessica Biel's looks

The Bottom Line: Despite a few really cool scenes, this movie didn't deliver.

Review: Despite the star power of Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel, Next was a box office bomb that didn’t stay in theaters for too long this past summer. Although it uses an interesting premise, it suffers from too much CGI, a convoluted plot, and is a ...

Pros: great premise, really interesting action scenes

Cons: horrible ending, story doesn't go anywhere, last 1/4 takes away any positives

The Bottom Line: A good premise is totally ruined by an ending that takes away any positives the filmed gained. I don't recommend wasting time on this unfullfilling film.

Review: Never have I been more disappointed in the presentation of something that I felt was such a great premise and story. The build-up of the film Next but all of the key elements necessary to create a successful film, but when it came to the ending, ...

Pros: Some mildly entertaining stuff.

Cons: Illogical decisions, no character development, bad acting.

The Bottom Line: What a shame! A perfectly good premise wasted on such a bad movie.

Review: Next is certainly a mixed bag! It has a very clever premise, but for the most part, it simply doesn't deliver. Nicolas Cage plays Cris Johnson, a man born with a special ability. He can see two minutes into the future. Only his own future. ...

Pros: -Nicolas Cage -Interesting effects -Action sequence

Cons: -Story -Story -Story

The Bottom Line: -Er I can't believe Cage wasted his acting

Review: Cast/Character: Nicolas Cage – Cris Johnson Julianne Moore – Callie Ferris Jessica Biel – Liz Cooper Thomas Kretschmann – Mr. Smith Troy Kittles – Cavanaugh Peter Falk – Irv Story: Cris Johnson has a special ability since childhood and ...

Pros: A somewhat original idea.

Cons: REALLY poor performances.

The Bottom Line: Nicolas Cage looks sick and performs his role with no conviction whatsoever. John Woo's direction reaches new lows. Only the basic premise of the film has freshness.

Review: The basic concept of the film, that Nicholas Cage was born with the ability to see 2 minutes into his own future...and can thus affect the outcome of the future...is kinda fun. That he has become a cheesy Vegas lounge-entertainer / mind-reader in order ...

Pros: hmmmm.

Cons: Cage's performance... on auto pilot. Terrible script.

The Bottom Line: Hollywood butchers yet another work of Science Fiction from author Philip K. Dick.

Review: I'll say it right here and now... the ending of "Next" aggravated me to no end. I absolutely HATE it when screenwriters try to get cute and do that thing where... the first 90 minutes or so mean nothing. Surprise. Ha ha. I guess I had the same ...
