Daftly entertaining action flick...

PaulaWestwood from , 7th May, 2007

I think Nick Cage isn' t the only one to see in the future as this is one of those 'if I can't guess whats going to happen - I might as well give up' sort of movies. It has a deli counter full of cheese and is remarkably wooden in parts, but in a way that all adds a bit to its hook, and it makes it all a really quite entertaining movie. Its an action film rather than a thinker, but has some good little bits hidden in it. So if you don't expect too much and want to be entertained for 96 minutes it won't let you down. I enjoyed it and would say it is worth a recommendation.

Brilliant!

Helen from Doncaster, 10th May, 2007

Not a fan of Nick Cage but traffic, got to the cinema late, missed the start of Spiderman 3, you get the idea, so ended up seeing Next. I am so glad I did, it was brilliant. The concept of the story is fantastic but translated well to film and the effects are really good. We were on the edge of our seats then there was a genuine jaw-drop moment, the sort that makes you want to yell 'No way!' at the screen. The whole cinema took a sharp intake of breath! Bloody marvelous, can't remember the last time I enjoyed a film so much. Going to Amazon now to buy the book.

Silly, senseless ending!

A Customer from North London, 28th April, 2007

This is not Cage's best work.Supposedly, Cage's character Chris sees 2 minutes into his own future, with the exception of when he saw days beforehand the Jessica Biel character come into his life, which makes no sense seeing that he's a 2 minute man. FBI track him down to get him on board to save the world from mass destruction. Anyway, not going to give away the ending, as you'll need to see it for yourself, but as I was exiting the movie people looked confused and I heard a few saying ' Is that it?' another one said 'Did I blink and miss a whole scene, cause that ending makes no sense!'...anyway, that was pretty much what I was thinking. It's a shame as the movie certainly gets the viewer involved (despite Cage rather bizarre, flyaway hairdo!) but leaves the viewer senselessly hanging in the end.

Worst Script Ever. And The Worst Wig.

XXX from from Wolverhampton, 2nd December, 2007

I used to think I could watch Nicholas Cage in anything. Then The Wicker Man was released. So much for that theory. He's still possibly the best leading man in Hollywood. Anyone who can carry a movie while wearing what can only be described as a Ken Dodd wig must know a trick or two. 'Next' feels like a hurried and rather blatant rip-off of Deja Vu. Both movies feature a central character who can see backwards/forwards in time. Both stories are nominally about our hero stopping a huge bomb from going off, but are really about our hero saving the life of one hot chick. But movies climax with big waterfront action sequences. But Deja Vu, with Denzel Washington, is a much, much better film. The problem with Next is that the script is truly wretched. Nothing makes sense. Nothing is explained or resolved. And the ending will leave you feeling cheated. It has its moments. But not many of them. Nicholas Cage really needs better material than this. And I don't just mean on his head.

Glad I didn't pay to see it at the cinema

LMAO from , 14th March, 2010

The 'flickering' opening titles should have warned me that I would not enjoy this much. It was ok, but that was about it really, good idea, average delivery, but I personally don't like films that jump about, and YES, before you jump about and shout that is the whole point of it, I found it vaguely irritating!

Absolute rubbish

Bojarkus from , 9th March, 2010

I hated this film. Cage is normally very well cast, but this was honestly appalling. De Ja Vu has a similar feel to it. Watch that instead.

Next

A Customer from Sunderland, 22nd February, 2010

I really enjoyed this film. Great twists and turns, action packed. Nicholas Cage plays the part excellently. Defo worth a watch

and Bobby came out of the shower...

bittertwist from , 16th February, 2010

really enjoyed this film. loved the idea, seeing two minutes into the future, you'd wonder what the point was. But the choreography of Cage's hasty exit of the casino at the beginning lets you know what to expect. quite, unassuming, smart tricks. A greatly entertaining film that kept me going and pleasantly annoyed at the ending! lol
