Next - with its multiple Nicolas Cages, terrorism plot, and precognition - remains the best kind of terrible 15 years later. catiecart on the movie:
After the two spend the night at a hotel, Liz is willing to stick with Cris even after Agent Ferris tells her that he’s a sociopath. Note that this woman has spent about 24 hours with Cris. He must be a master in bed for her to fall in love with this creepy alleged criminal. I like bad boys too, but this relationship was founded on a few conversations about free will vs. destiny and a shared appreciation for rain.
And then, we’re back in the hotel room, zooming out of Cris’ open eye with Liz draped around him. It’s that morning again, and the entire second half of the movie has been a vision. I can’t begin to think about the rules of Cris’ precognition, so I only assume that, as the movie suggests, he can see more into the future with Liz because of their psychic bond or whatever. Cris leaves Liz, telling her that he’ll find her if she can wait, and he goes to turn himself in to work with Callie. What makes him assume that he’ll be treated humanely? I guess the goodness of Callie’s heart, though she doesn’t seem to show any of that in the alternate vision. Then the movie simply ends.
The “lesson” seems utterly out of place in a movie that could have honed in on American fears of terrorism and how far the government will go to stop it. But, in the end, there isn’t much of a difference in Cris’ mindset. He now trusts the government because he had a semi-non-life-threatening experience with them in an alternate timeline, and his takeaway is that the future can change and is not set in stone.
