The Thing About the Future

“Here is the thing about the future. Every time you look at it, it changes, and that changes everything else."

How is it for a thought? Nicholas Cage's well delivered dialogue in NEXT. He enacts a man who can look 2 minutes into the future. Sees his girl shot down and saves her on time. A sci fi movie diluted with commercial material. The scene where he replicates himself and goes in search of his girl is a good one. Otherwise, nothing mindblowing in a so called sci-fi action flick.


There is a demanding premise running through the entire movie. And that is 'If you can see the future, you can save it.' which incidentally is the movie's tagline.


Here's some thought: If you see the future, and you change it, then, What you saw as the future, will no longer be the future. Right?
