Watch The Man Who Saw Tomorrow For Free

That was an excellent one.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I saw this movie in 1998 and warned my family and friends not to be near NYC in 1999. I felt a bit foolish until 9/11 happened 2 years later. the date was actually based on some planetary alignment predicted 500 years ago. New city of man made mountains, Fireballs, A secret leader from the middle east, terror terror terror.He further predicts that the leader will not be caught but will go into hiding and then emerge after forming an alliance with the dragon (asian nation?)If Osama bin Ladin doesn't form an alliance with (the dragon) then I will have to admit that this movie is just a big coincidence and cant be used to warn us of the future. I recommend watching this movie and decide for yourself.

I don't know why losers complain about movies ever being made--as if there HAS to be a true purpose for it. There's nothing worse than literalist kill-joys pointing out the obvious, like Orson Welles is fat--really? Jesus, who'd have thought. Of course, the fact that Welles did more by the age of 30 than LoathSuldy from Norfolk will ever do in his lifetime has nothing to with it either (but I'll say it anyway). Proof proof proof. Some people have self-worth issues that can only be validated by disproving things. This movie is great fun and will give you a delightful tingle and an edge of terror, and Welles is always at his finest as an actor. His matter of fact delivery of predicted terrifying events is half the charm. Have there not been earthquakes, and droughts, or a turbaned man out of the Middle East? The fact that rubes like the guy from Norfolk make fun of Saudi ties to Russia is all the more reason to ignore him: today Iran and Russia have reached tentative agreements for "a joint nuclear venture;" how long before it is the Saudi's too? Guy could use a dictionary next to his computer too--oops, I guess I'm pointing out the obvious now.

Ensconced in an elegant drawing room -- furnished handsomely with books, hourglasses, a grandfather clock and a telescope -- celebrated Nostradamus scholar Orson Welles guides us through a detailed examination of the 16th century physician-turned-prophet's visions of the future.Nestled next to a crackling fireplace, cigar in hand, Mr. Welles informally recounts Nostradamus' early life and exploits (he developed an effective treatment for the plague), analyzes the prophecies which have already come to pass (the French Revolution; assassinations of world leaders; pasteurization; and the development of the submarine and all manner of flying contraptions, from the hot air balloon to modern spacecraft), and postulates on events still to come.Mr. Welles' erudite narration is nicely complemented by historical footage and tasteful reenactments. The smoke from our host's ever-present cigar lends a dignified air of mystery which frames the film well.Much attention is paid to Nostradamus' concept of the Antichrist: Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, both Antichrists, and a third whom the seer referred to in his quatrains as "Mabus." Mabus has yet to be definitively identified; he could be a mighty world leader or an obscure subversive. (Some have even suggested that Mabus could be the name of a powerful weapon or bomb.) With Mr. Welles' unexpected death in 1985, we lost one of our most impassioned Mabus hunters. In the days that followed, as the world mourned and came to grips with its loss, sadness and confusion gave way to suspicion and conspiracy. Today, twenty years later, the same question is still on everybody's mind: Did this Mabus contrive to eliminate Mr. Welles before he could unmask Nostradamus' dreaded third Antichrist? It seems Charles Foster Kane has taken another secret with him to the grave.

I saw this "documentary" on HBO in the early '80s when I was an impressionable youth. It, too, scared the hell out of me. But then I grew up, and realized that though history DOES repeat itself; it's only because blind human nature and ignorance leaves the steering-wheel to chance all too often...and the side-show master, Mr. N, was intelligent enough to realize this. It's far easier to open your ass to prophesy than to assert your will.The fact that The History Channel deigned this hour of tripe as being worthy of airing astounds me. I would never imagine that a reputable outlet of education would broadcast this fantasy within a couple of months of the horrors of September 11, 2001. Perhaps the Jihadi have it right when they condemned us to death for being Godless (or is it Allahless?): we readily consume this freakish "entertainment" instead of respecting the sanctity of our dead. Hooray! I have something to pontificate about at the water-cooler on Monday! As if I had an education and some social bearing.Then we have other morons who will spout the quatrains as fact. Like that idiot reporter in NYC on the DAY of the 9/11 attacks; with the smoldering wreckage of the WTC in the background, he quoted the fiction of Mr. N. I imagine this ass-lick was attempting to improve his career. Congratulations! I hear Santa and the Easter Bunny are plotting Apocalypse too. Next time, try to respect the slaughtered before manufacturing drama. I suppose it was all `inevitable' though.right?If you have any respect in yourself, your fellow man, and free will; view this fiction for entertainment purposes only.And please, PLEASE, shun the ignorant. In your heart, you know what need be done.
