The opening of NEXT EXIT is reminiscent of the ALIEN logo, but if it is trying to look science fictional, it does not succeed. It is more fantasy, taking a new approach to life after death. A man and a woman "meet cute" while trying to rent a car to get to the center investigating this. He has a credit card but his drivers license is almost expired; she has a drivers license but no credit card, so they team up for a road trip. The dialogue is amusing and worth a chuckle or two, but in the end the explanation for what is happening is dissatisfying sci-fi, and it could have used a better ending.
