I just came back from watching "NEXT". As you may know...most of the reviews for this movie have been negative. And trailers for movies make them out to be what they aren't, and tend to set the movie up for disappointment.
Also...I don't like how the movie industry uses PKD, saying that the movie is "based" on one of his stories. It would be like me producing a movie that takes place in deep space where there is an "evil" villian out to get three brothers. The evil villian destroys two of the brothers' ship...but the third brother prevails, as his ship is too strong and more technically advanced than his brothers'. And the evil villian is killed in the same fashion he killed our heros' brothers. Oh... the story is "based" on
Three Little Pigs.
However, I'm glad to report that I was NOT disappointed with the movie. And, the trailer doesn't do the movie any justice.
Granted, the only "elements" that were taken from the PKD story,
The Golden Man, were some of the character's names, the fact that the main character, Cris, is brought to a lab, and the fact that he can see into the future. The rest was created by the screenwriters. But...it still made for an interesting movie.
Despite the negative reviews, I really enjoyed the movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes action, and alternate reality scenarios.
Did I mention that I wasn't disappointed?
