Next has been releasing on DVD here in the US. I watched it last night. I can see why it got panned by critics and it is just another victim of the studios trend to do science fiction and horror for PG-13 audience. Though an interesting story and somewhat well developed it could have been better as it came off as a couple cuts above a TV movie. I like to see these kind of films with an "R" rating because that usually means the material has been developed in a more mature manner targeted at an audience over 18. An "R" rating does not necessarily mean gratuitous violence or sex. I recall what Robert Altman said in his commentary on "Gosford Park" that he put in enough "f" words to make sure it got an "R" rating so that kids wouldn't spoil the movie for a film made for an adult audience.
On a technical note this is another film done with the Panavision HD Genesis system which allows filmmakers to use conventional 35mm gear and lenses when shooting HD. You can't tell its not film. The Genesis system uses a single CMOS instead of 3 CCDs and that's what allows it to use 35mm lenses. However it was a good ride and thanks for the recommendation.
