Migraine: 8/10
Movie: 2.5/5

Plot
The plot, as near as I can tell is this: Cris Johnson (Nicholas Cage) can see two minutes into the future, but with the caveat that he can only see into his future. But there's a nuclear bomb in L.A. and FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) thinks that Cris can find that sucker, despite the limitation of only seeing two minutes and only into his own life. So Cris and his love interest Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel) are on the run from the authorities.

Thoughts
I barely (bearly?) summoned the patience to finish watching this movie. I couldn't find any motivation to do so. - much like Cage's character never had any real motivation to run from the Feds, Moore's character had any real motivation to chase after him, or the the terrorists had motivation to blow up L.A. If someone in real life told me L.A. were going to be blown up I'd say, "Oh, no! At least let me get Wendy and Kirk (and family) out!" But in this movie, my response is, "Will it make this all go away?"

Basically, there's no dramatic tension. We're not given any reason why helping the Feds is so horrible that Cris Johnson risks his life by running away; nor are why told why a random FBI chick who just heard of him is convinced that he'll stop the bomb; and said bomb is given such scanty screen time that we're never concerned about its existence, blown up or no.

To sum up: I had a migraine when I watched it and during a migraine screen savers amuse me. This didn't.
