The film Next is about a man, Nicholas Cage, who can see two minutes into the immediate future. Because of his talent, he is tracked down by the government to locate an atomic bomb about to be deployed by terrorists. An interesting scene in this film is when him and the police are in a hostile situation and he proceeds to divided his vision up into a multitude of selfs and explore the area in which there are possible bad guys or sensor bombs. What it shows us on the screen is him standing in one position and images of himself departing from his body in all different directions. What he intends to do by pulling this stunt is test all the possible options of what would happen next if they went in this or that direction. Therefore, if one of his images sets of a sensor bomb and dies, he know not to choose that option and instead picks another route. In this scene theya re in an engine room with many levels and platforms and the camera pans all around the room showing us replicas of Nicholas Cage testing all the different next options. He finally clears the entire area and they proceed to kick ass. It is stated in the film that when one sees the possible options of what comes next, that changes the future. I think by saying this , he means that nothing can be predetermined even if he can see in the future because doing that changes what comes Next.
