just saw this movie today. i enjoyed it. ive enjoyed pretty much any philip k dick movie adaption ive seen. even 'through a glass darkly' which some people grumbled about. i think its because ive either never read the stories or if i have it was when i was in primary school and the memory is too weak to compare...

patrickl:
I recently saw that movie too. I thought it was an entertaining movie, but I felt it was (unintentionally) more of a comedy rather than a thriller.

The computer effects were often overly visible. Nicholas cage's "tough guy" walk looks more like the walk of a clown in cowboyboots (does he have some problem with his legs or something?) More importantly though, I felt the story was annoyingly repetitive :P They pull the "ha ha we fooled ya, it was only a view of the future" trick way too often.

It's also completely unbelievable that he can go through all possible futures and still have time to react. At least the way they show it in the movie he goes through the future in about real time and then he goes back. That would mean in real time he would instantaneously see the outcome of his possible futures. Which sounds odd. OK I know it's all nonsense, but I felt was unbelievable nonsense  ;D

shmokes:
God I can't stand Nicholas Cage.  Then, of course, he does something like Matchstick Men and I remember that he's actually talented.  Then he goes back to doing absolute, thowaway action movie pieces of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for the next few years and promptly forget again.  For every Raising Arizona there are five Ghost Riders. 

shardian:
I enjoyed Next, though I thought it was a bit creepy that the hot 7th heaven girl was his love interest. Ahh, the benefits of being the producer of your own stuff - you get to choose who you want to make out with and film sex scenes with, and they actually do it for "the art". :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Oh, and Ghost Rider sucked major balls.

patrickl:
OK compared to Ghost Rider I have to agree that Next was an award winner. Another horrible cage movie was The Wicker Man. I won that DVD, but I had to get rid of it as fast I could.

I liked Leaving Las Vegas, but I guess that had more to do with Elisabeth Shue than Nicholas cage.
