The Butterfly Effect

Post by Executioner »

Saw this movie last Friday, and it was really strange as it took me a while to figure out WTF was going on. Really great flick if you like sci-fi.

It's basiclly a time travel movie, where Ashton Kutcher has black-outs which results in him going back in time where he can change out comes from his childhood years. The first 20 minutes or so, it's hard to figure out what the hell is going on, but after this speed bump, the movie keeps your intrest all the way to the end.

If you like sci-fi flicks, you will like this one.

Saw it on DVD lastnight. Nice to see Ashton Kutcher do something other than comedy. He was actually good in it.

Yea it did take a little while to figure out what was going on, but that added to the suspense. The DVD has two differnet endings, the theatrical cut and the directors cut.

I got the DVD last week and went straight to the director's cut and watched that. I goda say, I was a little board with the begining and yes it took a while to figure out was what going on............ but I got to thinking, it was probably because I was watching the DC and the DC probably has ALOT more story in it. I guess I'm going to have to watch the theatrical version of it now.
Thanks for the 411,
Rob
I will find you

There is a big difference between the director's cut and the theatrical release. I saw the theatrical release at the theater first, then watched the director's cut on DVD. I enjoyed the theatrical release better, but I guess it's your prospective on life.

Rented it and it ain't bad at all. Surprisingly good actually. And original. Kept me interested the whole movie.

I knew some characters, like that one bad creep in this movie, in school. People like that do exist.

Saw this on PPV last night, great movie! Great concept as who doesn't always try re-hashing all the "what ifs" in ones past, wondering how things might later then be different had one taken a different path?

I not only knew guys similar then but have known several others since. We've still got one like that where I work, everyone hates him as he's a "bi-polar" (split personality) type and one never knows when he's presently "possessed".
