Irresistible junk food
Jan Stuart
Newsday

Time is of the essence in the new sci-fi thriller "Next," and all the major players wear expensive watches to prove it.

It's just fun.
Roger Moore
Orlando Sentinel

Who says preposterous junk can't be fun?
(3 stars out of 5)

Solid but not dazzling
Justin Chang
Variety

The tagline says, 'If you can see the future, you can save it.' For that matter, if you don't see Next, you can save 96 minutes. What starts out as a mildly diverting thriller blows itself to smithereens in the final reel.

The whole thing ends up collapsing under its own weight
James Berardinelli
ReelViews

The film fails to play by a consistent set of rules and, while it's possible to justify that endgame twist, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Some viewers will feel cheated by what Next does, and it's hard to blame them.
