Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
davidsammi Second was garbage! This was a great murder mystery! Loved it!
g_imdb-204-244823 There are plenty of good summaries out there so I won't write you another. Lots of time travel, lots of questions, not so many answers. There's also a fair amount of brutal violence so, consider yourself warned.Actors play their roles very convincingly, Rachel Miner especially hit it out of the park, eclipsing Chris Carmack in every scene that they share.There isn't a lot of explanation of what happens and who the characters are - and I think that's intentional, the viewer has to fill in a lot of blanks along the way. It was a lot of fun to watch the past get rewritten and watch the backgrounds and personalities of characters change dramatically as a result. These changes to the present after he comes back from the jump are pretty reasonable and easy to follow; for instance he goes back in time and commits a crime and has a worse relationship with the police as a consequence.I took off a star only because the villain's plan wasn't as simple as it could have been. Some call it contrived as if it were a bad thing - it's surprising and upon re-watching it makes a lot of sense. If you have a keen eye you might see it coming on the first watch.If I could change anything about this movie I'd axe the epilogue completely and spend another ten minutes or so developing the minor characters.
Shahmeer J Good movie, but not a great one. Not one of those movies that make me sit down and imagine myself in the protagonist's shoes. The first movie was thought provoking, during and after the movie. I came up with dozens of tricks and possibilities that I would have pulled off if I was in Sam's place. Revelations was thrilling and well directed, but it did not utilize the possibilities of time travel to its maximum potential, nor did it clearly display the 'butterfly effect'.COMPARISON WITH THE FIRST MOVIE: -In the first movie Evan went back in time with a plan. However, in Revelations, Sam was clueless and clumsy every time he jumped back. There was no apparent purpose of his time travel and it would become obvious that things were not going to end in his favor. -Revelations did not have as many plot holes as the first movie. But that was only because we were not aware what Sam was doing at the time he traveled back. In the first movie, we knew exactly what Evan was doing and were familiar with the scenes.WHAT I WANT FROM A FUTURE BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE: -The original concept of time travel be kept,i.e, the protagonist can only travel back to certain life events. -The audience should be intensely familiarized with each of these events. -The time traveler experiments with his abilities to analyze and memorize every piece of information at these events. -The violence be dimmed down a bit so more people can watch it. -The time traveler THINKS BIG. It is annoying to see that such a powerful ability is used for petty issues, compared to what can actually be accomplished.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" is not a bad movie, but it is not the best of the three movies in the series. That being said, don't get me wrong, because the movie is still watchable and enjoyable.However, the changes brought about in this movie by the jumping back in time events really weren't as impressive as in the first movies. But from the story aspect, then "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" had a rather nice approach to the events that evolved around the storyline.There is a high chance of some confusion arising from some of the scenes. At least right up until the ending, because some of the stuff that was happening wasn't overly coherent at all times. But it was all cleared up towards the ending.As for the actual ending of the movie, well, I will say that it didn't really go all that well with me. But of course, this is a matter of preference.The actors and actresses in the movie were doing good enough jobs with their given roles. Nothing overly outstanding or memorable here though.Personally I found the sex scene to be really tacky, and it shouldn't have been in the movie at all. It is just so 1980's, and doesn't really help the movie along one bit.Having seen the movie now, I think this is the type of movie that quickly fades and dissipates from memory, as most of the previous movies did. Good enough entertainment here and now, but hardly sustainable in the long run.I am giving "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" 5 out of 10 stars, because it was enjoyable enough, but there was just something lacking to make it unique.
