Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

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

  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    Next features Nicolas Cage as a clairvoyant who can see events before they occur. If anyone on the production team had similar abilities, they could have foreseen that the film was a folly in the making.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    A schlocky mix of bad special effects and worse Cage hairdos.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    Once you know the rules, it's hardly worth playing. Especially when you find out you've been tricked.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    Colossal waste of time.

    A thrilling, clever and action-packed thrill-ride. It`s full of great suspensful moments, great action sequences and a wicked twist ending that makes yours eyes pop wide-open. It`s cool, fun and very enteratining.

    I really like the idea behind it however it just turned into a mash up of action and bad acting. Cage looks like he mock acting in an attempt to be funny, Moore looks like she's trying too hard to be someone she's really not suited to play and Biel just can't act at… More

    OK where to begin, guess what, I didn't like this either, another Phillip K Dick adaptation and another movie about being able to see the future or a couple minutes ahead anyway. Its a nice idea, hardly original these days, back then sure, now no. 'Minority Report' was… More

    NEXT had lots of neat and visually stunning effects, but they were mostly used to tell us, "Look what we can do with our CGI. Ain't it cool?" Yeah, it's "cool" all right, if you really want to call it that, but Nicolas Cage, your acting skills were… More

    I'm torn about movies like this. Sure, I enjoyed the action moves - like when Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) does his Neo-like moves. But I need movies to be consistent. If Cris can see two minutes in advance, base the story on that. Somehow, by the end of the movie, Cris is… More
