the butterfly effect review
My Rating: 8/10
IMDb Rating: 7.7/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 33% Metacritics Rating: 30/100 Roger Ebert: 2.5/10 My Favorite Quotes: 1. "It is said that the flap of a butterfly wing can cause a typhoon somewhere else in the world". 2. “Nothing’s all better, okay? Nothing ever gets better! The Chaos Theory Definitely, a great movie for the thriller genre. When Ashton Kutcher goes to Kaeleys house and confronts her father, why doesn't he just ask the dad where she is, instead of grabbing him by the throat and dragging him outside. Anyway, Ashton Kutchers performance was much better than I expected considering how terrible he is in "Two and a Half Men". It's sad to see how little things that happen when we are children can dramatically change the outcome of our lives. It's mind bottling, it's crazy how well they portray what could have happened. Although I am almost certain that if time travel existed it probably wouldn't work like this, I still enjoyed every second of this movie. I feel like shit for saying this, but the scene that involves armless Ashton Kutcher hitting the hallway floor was kind of funny. If you are an anime fan and love the series "Erased" than you will love this movie. It is almost the exact same except a live action version. This film is also similar to the movie 23 in terms of camera angles and special effects. Also, the plot was clearly thought through because of it's immense complexity and ability to use foreshadowing and tie everything together so smoothly. If the film taught you nothing while watching than at least take this away. In life you sometimes have to make sacrifices in order to do what is right for the greater good. |
