The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack. Next is many times over the top and silly but it's a movie about Time Travel starring Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel by the name Next. The things i liked about this film was mostly Cage he was very smart and i liked that he could see the future and being a badass at the same time although his love interest Biel kinda felt forced but still i liked it as a movie it was fun and very smart when it wanted to of course. As for Moore she was good too everyone did their parts well but the villains should be much much better but still a pretty nice film 7.9/10

For a movie with more plot holes than a carrot farm, is very entertaining, has Jessica Biel in it and did I mention it has Jessica Biel in it? Jessica Biel would make a race of rocks entertaining and worth watching...IMHO.But to the movie. Watch it, enjoy it for what it is and is packed with action scenes, hateful "government" characters and an army of disposable terrorists to kill as needed. (Arrests in Hollywood?, Nah!) If you are a "make sense" freak or a patient of OCD, you be warned this is not for you.There is no character development, no explanation why, no correlation, logic or sense to the whole thing. Is like a movie filmed in OZ warp hole, with Nick Cage in his worst ever hair do and ...Jessica Biel.8/10

To the pantheon of limited practical use superpowers which includes semi-luminaries such as Aquaman, Robin, Hawkeye, Antman, etc., add Nic Cage's Chris Johnson / Frank Cadillac character. The small-time magician can see 120 seconds (give or take) into his own personal future. So could he find his car in the mall parking lot if he didn't remember where he left it? No, he has to be able to find it in the future to see himself finding it in the present looking forward. Would he have known the twist at the end of "Sixth Sense"? No, that take far more than 2 minutes to happen. Could he avoid burning the roast? No, since it take 2 hours at 425 degrees for the roast to burn, he wouldn't be able to detect that. Apparently, his second sight also can be a little fritz-y like when he needs to be told the bridge has washed out and he will need to return to a hotel 2 miles back - shouldn't he have seen that coming? So why does Julianne Moore's hard-as-nails FBI agent strap him "Clockwork Orange" style to a chair to try to predic when a nuclear bomb devastates Los Angeles and ushers in the era of Skynet? Um....not sure. At best Frank / Chris could only give them a 1 minute 55 second head start to tracking down a bomb, gaining entry to it and defusing it somewhere in LA's 5,721 square miles of traffic-clogged streets. Cage gives his Hello Kitty neutral performance but Moore belies some puzzlement over the plot. Viewers puzzle over Cage's standoffish magician beating up several burly FBI agents once freed from the Clockwork Orange chair as well as the fact that while the room he was held in was locked, the remainder of the building allows for him to saunter out unobstructed. Jessica Biel plays the hot girl who teaches underprivileged Native Americans and brings them birthday presents even when it's not her day to work. She also hooks up with a bad magician who claims super- limited clairvoyance, later sells him out to the FBI and then sells the FBI out to him all in the space of standoff with views of the Grand Canyon. She may not be particularly good at decision-making. What the movie lacks in interesting characters and dubious plotting, it also lacks in decent dialog particularly among the French-speaking bad guys who we are told early in the movie are Russians out to blow up Los Angeles. You don't expect a Cage character to do more than yell and run about but Moore's character spends the movie shouting orders menacingly - you imagine she's not much fun at the FBI offices annual holiday party. Biel's character gets no non-damsel-in-distress dialog. In short, this unintentionally funny production never lets you forget you are watching a movie.

'Next' has a potentially fun gimmick that is completely wasted thanks to its ham-fisted script and sloppy directing. It doesn't take long for the plot holes to pile up, and because the payoff is so weak I wasn't willing to overlook them.I can't even begin to describe how creepy Nicholas Cage is in this movie. He looks like he's got a perpetually wet rodent stapled to his head and his attempts at being romantic gave me a full body cringe. Jessica Biel's best acting is kissing Cage without vomiting into his mouth.Dumb, lazy, half-hearted shrug of a movie isn't worth your time.
