Anyone who loved Donne Darko will love this movie, all about time travel and parallel universes - and pretty jumpy to!

i liked ashton kutcher in this movie. he did a good job. i just hope they dont flake out with a sequel. the point was made clear in this one.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

yeah.......dont do drugs..... :lol:

This movie was absoultely facinating. The prospect of changing th eoutcome of events by regression was totally cool nuh!!

one of my favorites...

i also watched Donnie Darko yesterday, and it was ok... a bit weird though :P

Re: The Butterfly Effect

Yeah, sweet movie

I was skeptical at first with ashton kutcher as the lead role but he impressed me.

loved it as well. i was also skeptical but it came with a huge life impact ending thing. :RockOn:

The movie was okay, especially when little Tommy smashed that guy at the theater.

My problem with the movie was before Ashton went back in time, he never thought about that girl. Then he became fixated on her as if she was his long lost love, but present day he never thought about her. I think the director's angle was wrong. She didn't mean much to him later in life, then he risked everything for her, and we're supposed to be moved by his conviction? No, she wasn't very important to the protagonist to begin with; thus why should we feel like "Well done Ashton, one minute you're soaring through college without a care in the world, the next minute you have no hands." I know he promised to come back for her, but I still say The Butterfly Effect used a great concept for a wanky cause.

6/10

well if you have read the '"alternative reality", david ambrose' [which i iz sure that u will if u like those kind of theories.., Butterfly Effect iz like sunday walkin at the park... The book is much better coz not only give details about these theories but because the writer have create an amazing story whick keeps you up till the last page... I hope someday this book be a movie... coz its Wickid!!

Big up for David and parrallel universes

subtitles in spanish for divx?

pretty intense movie, although a bit over-dramatic. it's like a worst-case scenario of life in differnet situations as a consequence of one action. i liked it, but watching it was torturous. 7/10

Re: The Butterfly Effect

This movie really gives the saying "everything happens for a reason" meaning.

Loved it

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.

Yeah, cool movie! Makes you think a bit which is always nice :)

I loved it! Have watched it 4 times since - fascinating ideas and story lines.

I do agree I hope they don't screw up by making a sequel (or 2) :twisted:

Re: The Butterfly Effect

It was about time for a great movie, with a really nice story. Something that we haven't seen before. Unpredictable and interesting. Really good movie and i would really recommend.

apart from the fact it was crap and meaningless!

i really liked the movie too! best i've seen in a while. it makes you think. i like that in a movie

the movie was pretty good, it was really fucked up though...

Re: The Butterfly Effect

I thought the movie was just brilliantly done...... saw it over the weekend and I felt that the speed at which the movie progressed and the "cause - effect" relationship of actions to possibilities of the future in addition to jumping around them was simply marvellous.

I dont think he was fixated on his GF for any reason. He jumped back and forth in time thanks to multiple reasons (i.e. becoming a prison bitch / mom getting cancer / etc.). But he did have a natural affection to the girl because he couldn't believe that she died and he wanted to make sure that those close to him wound up in a better place....

However what sort of started becoming a little on the HUH ?? side of things was how Ashton started using his power like a Kit Kat bar i.e. at will more than allowing mysterious things to happen giving him nearly God Like abilities...... which I felt was pushing it over the edge.... and finally that baby opening its eyes in the womb and suffocating itself was just ruining the awesome plot the movie had built up....

but still its one of the better movies I have seen in the genre....

-e-

Re: The Butterfly Effect

and what genre is that?

Re: The Butterfly Effect

the genre of weird and whacky science that are embedded into the chaos theories / science fiction / parallel universes / if's - then theories / would you like me to spell that out for ya :wink:

-e-

Re: The Butterfly Effect

no need to spell it out, i already know how to spell 'genre' as previously displayed. :wink:

Re: The Butterfly Effect

Bit like Donnie Darko, also a bit creepy :) Really like the song in the end, its from Oasis ... Stop Crying Your Heart OUt. So true.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

yes...great film...interestin plot!!!!!! ashton kutcher is a surprise!!

Re: The Butterfly Effect

a nice movie with a cool but imposible idea :)

Re: The Butterfly Effect

I liked a lot.

Omm

Re: The Butterfly Effect

It was good but not the best

Re: The Butterfly Effect

[quote]It was good but not the best[/quote]

care to explain. what movie would you compare it to that you think is better :?

Re: The Butterfly Effect

Why not? I think Memento is better than it :) I loved it too much but this can be becauser of I watched it earlier so it dazed me :P

Re: The Butterfly Effect

ohhh i didnt see it :(

all says it s wonderfull

:idea:

Re: The Butterfly Effect

The movie wasnt even that great...i dont get what the hype is all about....only thing that was good about the movie was that Ash was hot

Re: The Butterfly Effect

i think donnie darko was better :twisted:

just got done watching this movie and I thought it was great. I was thinking the same thing that clever mentions below... after giving her up for as long as he did you'd think he wouldn't have had the strong feelings for her, whether they were feelings of love or friendship.

I'm giving it a solid 9.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

good that people are talking about this movie cause i just saw it a couple of days ago, its a great movie indeed, weird and very forward thinking, u really have to get some views to it to understand it all, it makes me remember donnie darko and the i inside. 9\10

Re: The Butterfly Effect

butterfly effect is a class movie,much better than donnie darko by far.

one of my fave movies.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

Watched this tonight for the first time.

Defo one of the best films i have seen in years.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

i love quantum physics and alternate reality theories, but this movie was grade A crap. ahton kutcher is a hack.

Re: The Butterfly Effect

One of the best film in the last years....

Excellent Story and good actors....

Re: The Butterfly Effect

Very good movie. Loved the bit when he gives his mate the knife to.......... but it all goes wrong. Very clever stuff.
