Butterfly Effect

Pros: Great acting, great story, great ending
Cons: None

This is one movie that left me pondering my life in whole. I mean, what would the world be like if I wasn't around? Would people be happier? Would things be better or worse? What would happen to my family and friends? That's what Evan (Ashton Kutcher's ...

Pros: Acting, fresh approach to old concept
Cons: Depiction of cruelty to animals

The enigmatic title of this 2004 film is explained with an epigram before the opening credits, in which an old proverb is cited, referring to how the simple movement of a butterfly’s wings can cause a typhoon halfway around the world. Basically, the ...

Pros: good acting, excellent and unique plot
Cons: none for this movie, but I wouldn't recommend the sequel.

If you like science fiction movies that are very complicated and suspenseful, then you will love this movie. You never know what is going to happen next so it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The main character, Evan, played by Ashton Kutcher, has ...

Pros: Good performances, interesting look at time travel
Cons: Serious logical missteps detract from the experience

I'm a sucker for a good time travel movie, so Butterfly Effect was a no-brainer. The premise is that Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher, in a surprisingly good performance from the stoner-cum-actor) was born with something of a curse. He frequently blacks ...

Pros: Brutal. Evil timing
Cons: Too complex for some people.

Ashton Kutcher is an actor normally known for doing comedy films and buddy movies, but this movie opened some real doors for him to do more serious films. This was the only movie of his I really bought and liked. Amy Smart plays an instrumental role ...

Pros: Excellent acting, great plot
Cons: Some unsettling subject matter

Movies dealing with Time travel have generally been interesting to me so I thought the Butterfly effect looked good. Unfortunately I had to wait a while before I could fully see the movie but when I did it was worth it. The film reminded me of Donnie ...

Pros: Actors and actresses fit very well in this film.. Excellent story line..
Cons: Too good of a movie to have any cons ...

The Butterfly Effect is the premise of the chaos theory, which states that everything you do in life has a direct or indirect consequence; for example, a butterfly flapping its wings can result in a huge typhoon halfway across the world. That's the basis ...

Pros: Good movie premise, although it has been done before
Cons: Mediocore results

I want to like Ashton Kutcher, I want to know what Demi sees in him. I want to understand Punk'ed, and find it funny. I want to think he's sexy, I know he was a model. Alas, I still don't get it (except for the one ending shot of him with hairless ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

At some point, everyone looks back at some event in their life and wonders how things would have been different if they have fixed a few mistakes. What if you could not buy a car that turned out to be a lemon? What if you hadn’t fumbled when asking ...

Pros: Impressive cinematography, and some unique ideas.
Cons: Nothing is ever done with those unique ideas. Plus, Ashton Kutcher.

Some films feel important, as if they have a purpose or a message, several even from last year. Unfortunately, The Butterfly Effect just thinks it's important and has a message to tell. Donnie Darko is a film that many of The Butterfly Effect's ...

Pros: The storyline is strangely compelling, Kutcher does better than expected.
Cons: Execution is messy, plot holes, needs the audience to view without prejudice.

Ever wondered what you would do if you had the power to change the past? Imagine you could change that thing you said that upset your mother or perhaps take a different route to work that would have seen you avoid an accident. Eric Bress and J. Mackye ...

Pros: Intelligent, moving, very well acted, good score
Cons: A few plot holes, I thought the ending for the Theatrical Release was much better

I love it when a movie comes out that meets my expectations. Lord of the Rings, Spider Man 2, Signs. Each one I expected to be great, and great they were. But it is infinitely more satisfying when a great film comes seemingly out of nowhere to thrill ...

Pros: Fun and complicated premise, decent performances, good thriller aspects
Cons: Pacing, weak special effects in places

I find the entire idea of chaos theory (layman's definition, of course, the mathematical definitions make my eyes glaze over) fascinating. That one small action can cause a virtual cascade of reactions eventually resulting in something enormous is ...

Pros: Very Suspenseful throughout, Ashton at his best! Well done background research
Cons: Definitely not suitable for children! Rated R, due to language, sexual content, and traumatic events.

A movie theme that's been done many times: Time Travel. The Bill and Ted movies (which I find very hilarious), The Time Machine, Time Cop, Timeline... I can't remember the rest but it's been done a lot. This movie, by New Line Home Entertainment, is ...

Pros: Cast, Photography
Cons: Story

Genre: Thriller Sub-categories: Chaos Theory, Suspense Predictability: Somewhat Predictable Look-at-these: No Nudity Synopsis: A college bound Evan Treborn discovers that he possesses the power to alter events of ...
