Pretty good, 2008-12-16
I watched this movie not thinking much of Kutcher's acting ability. I was pleasantly surprised.

Poorly Executed, But Still Worth Watching, 2008-08-26
Overall, I liked The Butterfly Effect, but it feels poorly executed. Until the movie started really getting interesting, it felt cliche, had a knack for getting under my skin, and was laughable at the same time. I never really connected with it, like 12 Monkeys. It twisted and turned all over the place too, yet becomes the exact opposite, very predictable, once it starts getting better. There is just something missing in the beginning... I don't really know what it is, but even though the movie gets much better later on, it can't make up for it. On the positive side though, the plot line and ideas were really good. I love alternate realities, time travel, and memory, and the story connects them all without being too out there or unrealistic. It reminded me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, same with it's special effects as well. Ashton Kutcher, and many of the actors, weren't bad either, but nobody really blew me away. I'm not sure if I would recommend the movie. If you want a trip, then yes, see it. Or if you're into dark movies, I would recommend it too. It's really depressing, and of an existential manor. That is both a good and bad quality. Just seeing how everything gets rearranged with disastrous results can make anyone question their lives and "What if?". The Director's Cut ending follows suit too, but it wipes the floor with the original theatrical ending. Whether you like it or not, it fits perfectly with the overall theme of the movie.

Good value, good movie, 2008-08-01
$8.99 is an excellent deal for this movie. It's very original, and Kutcher and Smart play their parts perfectly. If you liked this movie in theaters then definitely buy this because it's a classic movie to add to your collection. And it's nice to have all the Infinifilm bonus features.

Wonderful, 2008-07-30
This movie is a really good! I recommend everyone to watch it. It had me do a lot of thinking like, "What if I were him?" I've watched it so many times. BUY THE DVD. You won't be disappointed.

Psychological time travel, 2008-06-30
What if you could change your past: br /remove that very bad thing that happened to you br /or your friends when you were young and foolish? br /The journals that he started when the blackouts began br /serve as 'memory' devices that allow his mind to travel in time. br /Each time he changes thing they get progressively worse: br /somebody dies or goes crazy or ends up without arms. br /He finally solves the riddle of their lives, but loses br /his true love in the process!
