I just finished watching NEXT with Nicolas Cage, Jennifer Biel and Julianne Moore. Nicolas Cage is a magician that can see 2 minutes into the future however the movie doesn't even follow it's own rules which is the movies major flaw. It sets up a world of possibilities but quickly regresses into a boring plot and flat characters. I was fairly disappointed with it, for some reason I do look forward to Nicolas Cage films even though he has a terrible track record. I guess his few successes have really stuck with me. But man, this movie is not good. I kept the faith until the 3/4 mark then I knew I had misplaced my faith. With a pedigree of an academy award winner(Cage), a multiple nominee(Moore), an academy award winning body(Biel) and an adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel one would at least expect something special but all those factors could not save this sci-fi failure.
