Amazon.com:
Despite box-office dominance during its opening weekend, The Butterfly Effect is better suited to guilty-pleasure viewing at home. When writer-directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber (who penned Final Destination 2) aren't breaking their own haphazard rules of logic, they're filling this sordid thriller with enough unpleasantness to make eternal damnation seem like an attractive alternative. In a role-reversal from his That '70s Show persona, Ashton Kutcher plays a college-age psychology student who discovers, by re-reading his childhood journals, that he can revisit his past and alter traumatic events, hoping to improve their previously unfortunate outcomes. Instead, this foolhardy experiment in chaos theory (the titular "butterfly effect," popularized by Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park) results in a variety of nightmarish permutations, each having dire consequences for him and/or his friends. This intriguing premise is explored with a few interesting twists and turns, but with subplots involving child pornography, animal cruelty, and profanely violent children, it's a stretch to call it entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

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

- What a Trip
Asthon Kutcher gives the performace of a lifetime in this supernaturally charged thriller! It is very intense and dramatic and at times incredibley dark and disturbing. The script was intelligent and well written and all of the cast could not have done better in their roles. I am going to say right now that this film is not for everyone because as I said ealier it is very disturbing but I loved it, and would recommend it to anyone that could stomach it. The DVD played superbly and the sound and picture ... Read More

Rating:

- Kind of bad in a way,
but in a good way... at least for me. I thought it could have been a little deeper, like the way "Pi" was, but all around, it was pretty interesting. I think for me, it was the familiar characters. They were like people I know or knew, and I was always a bit like Evan. It gets a little pretentious at times, but if you're not picky like me, you'll be able to enjoy it.

- A completely Nasty film experience
As I watch this film I just keep saying, "Oh, man, what horribly disturbing thing is going to happen next??"
If this thought thrills you, then give this flick five stars, by all means.

I really don't know what to make of The Butterfly Effect except that its few interesting concepts (and they are very few) are completely drowned out by a deeply disturbing and manipulative series of events which are supposed to be a story.

This is a nasty film. I don't say things like that ... Read More

Rating:

- Almost perfect.
One of the best films I have seen in recent years, about time-travel and its consequences. Ashton Kutcher is a revelation and, although the film is slightly let down by a not very good ending this is not enough to derail what is a very good movie. If not for the ending, I would have given this movie 5 stars out of 5. Nonetheless, watch this movie!
