FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

eHurts Sooo first of all. I can't recite you any line from the film, but it ain't a bad thing at all.The plot got better with the progression of the movie. The blank spots got filled and made it that "ooow sh*t mate how effed up is this guys life?" like for real this kid has lived an eccentric existence. This film made me think, question the concept of existence. But it more to do with my current personal state of affairs. It made this more profound for me than the average watcher.Nonetheless, I recommend this movie to the lost ones. Life has meaning taking it is bullshit now. Just live fulfilled That is what I got from it. Take this review with a grain of salt. It's me first one and I'm not sure this is how reviews are supposed to be written but hey... let me know.

Davis P The Butterfly Effect starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart is a twisted roller coaster of a movie. It is about Evan (Ashton Kutcher) and his ability to look at different entries in his childhood journals and go back in time to change something bad that happened in order to save someone in his life, it's almost always to save the love of his life Kayleigh (Amy Smart). The movie plays kind of like a dumbed down version of other smarter more sophisticated thrillers. I really do feel conflicted about the film. It has it's intriguing moments and it features good performances by the actors, especially Amy Smart. But on the other hand, there are times in the movie where you just roll your eyes because it's the usual teen/college aged crap you see in stereotypical youth targeted films. The college/sorority section of the film was the main part of the movie where I felt that way, the way the characters acted was dumb and almost laughable, and it was hard to buy, but then in other sections the material was solid and I bought the whole thing. That's why this film as a whole is a mixed bag, there's some pretty good things in it, but it never really reaches greatness, and it doesn't rise above character stereotypes that dumb down the movie. Another good thing I liked was how it ended, it was kind of touching and different. Overall I'd say a 6/10 is the fairest and most accurate rating for The Butterfly Effect.

Elden Wang A very impressive and profound movie! Sometimes I regret what I have done or haven't and wish once again I can fix them all. However, this movie has taught me that things happened could never be worst. If I had a chance to experience that time again, I am not sure I could do better than I did. I once heard a story saying a boy spent all his childhood playing with pinball and ended up nowhere. When he was grown up, he regretted his old time badly and begged the god to give him another chance to make things right. Then he was there twenty years ago. Walking home alone, he saw some of his friends playing with pinball on the side of the road, he excitedly joined them. His life was then the same without any changes. This movie tells a similar story that we are not god and we cannot make everyone including ourselves happy and perfect - there must be some not good ones. Wish I could make the best of now, and not regret anything in the future. Dairies, albums, and what's the next? I am looking for the sequel.

marianajb Wow! What a lot of crap I just saw, incredible! I have too say that the only brain damaged during this film was mine. It really impressed me the thousands of clichés that this movie has; it was one after the other one, and it never stopped. Do not get me wrong though, the plot and the whole idea of the butterfly effect is pretty cool, you just need to know how to express it; since it is a very complex idea. Many people say that these movie is underrated because of Ashton Kutcher's performance, but in my opinion, everything else is so bad (and I mean really bad), that I probably didn't pay much of attention to him, but for example, if the direction is bad, and if the actor is not really good, he or she obviously needs that support of the director;and since the direction of this movie its awful, and probably one of the worst I have ever seen, there for everything else is wrong, and awful, and bad, and list goes on (in this movie). There was even a part were I almost cried of how terrible it is.
