Critics Consensus

Numerous plot holes and poorly motivated characters prevent Next from being the thought-provoking sci-fi flick it could've been.

This busy sci-fi thriller often seems like a page full of equations rendered meaningless by an early misplaced decimal point.

It's debatable whether Cage's supernatural ability is any more interesting than his strange coiffure.

Another failed attempt to bring Dick's deliriously paranoid mind-set to the screen.

It missteps from time to time with its narrative and tone, while also stumbling badly at the conclusion.

The concept behind it is fine, but the execution is terrible.

Tamahori and the phalanx of writers implode Dick's intriguing premise into a pedantic thriller.

Next is a lot like the Disney Channel sitcom That's So Raven because Raven Symone and Nicolas Cage can both see into the future but Next is the science fiction version of That's So Raven. Next has an interesting premise and most of the acting is not great but Nicolas Cage brings intensity and charisma that makes it interesting enough to keep you entertained. I enjoyed Jessica Biel's performance because she is trying with a script that is only bland at best.

Despite Nic Cage and Julianne Moore's ham acting, this movie is just for some reason very charming and entertaining. I think it's probably just because I'm a sucker for sci-fi, even this kind of clairvoyant sci-fi. The idea that you can look into the future in minute detail is really interesting and fun to watch. I'm not a fan of how Moore's character is so ends justify the means when it comes to saving lives, and I think that there is a problem with this kind of thinking (when it happens int he real world).

An excellent movie that makes you think hard, and end with excited frustration. Trippy. Couple sensuous scenes.

Have to wonder if this Phillip K Dick adaptation might have done better with different choices as actors. I personally liked it, and kind of hoped there would be a sequel.
