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

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 27, 2020

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

| Oct 16, 2018

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 23, 2009

Nobody said this had to be great art, but why couldn't it be a satisfying thrill machine?

| Jul 7, 2008

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.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 17, 2007

Predictable Cage sci-fi tale may entertain teens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2007

Someone that can change the future like Cage does here is a bit like Superman, but without any Kryptonite . . .

| Oct 22, 2007

Obscurely motivated terrorists with Eastern European accents are preparing to explode a hydrogen bomb in Los Angeles.

| Sep 22, 2007

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

| Sep 22, 2007

Suffice it to say that I'm a big time warp movie fan and this is a good one.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 22, 2007

Yes, Cage is woefully miscast, but he isn't what derails the movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2007

Despite a distracting hairdo, Nicolas Cage delivers a solid performance in this fast-paced actioner.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2007

Philip K. Dick is credited as the source of the film. That poor giant of SciFi has been more abused posthumously than anyone else of his genius.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2007

Next isn't a great movie, but I enjoyed it anyway.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2007

It's noisy, nonsensical, and will fade from your consciousness even before you make it out of the theater lobby, but it's entertaining enough, and Tamahori throws us a few curve balls to keep things interesting.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 22, 2007

It's all complete nonsense, of course, hampered by a clunky script and Tamahori's uneven direction (which elicits unintentional laughter throughout and, unforgivably, a dull performance from Nic Cage).

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2007

A truly great bad film, one for future generations to ponder and consider and then turn away.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Sep 14, 2007

Everything that happens is preposterous, and the filmmakers make no attempt to help us forget it.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 14, 2007

The premise is wildly preposterous, yet Nicolas Cage makes Next fun to watch
