Butterfly Effect

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: 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: 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: Smart, suspenseful without being insanely graphic, well-put-together.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to wrap your mind around, holes in the theory.

If you're like me, thinking about moving around in time and changing the past fills you with nothing but headaches and dread. This film shows why this is so. Although it hardly answers the contradictions which so often surround changing the past, it ...

Pros: Very original plot and good acting.
Cons: Too tragic and depressing for even me.

For those who haven't seen it.... imagine this, what if you blacked out big chunks of your life at times? Like we're talkin hours...and say you got analyzed for this type of behavior...and your analysist made you write events in a journal, though you ...

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: Ashton Kutcher, script, sound effects, captivating, thought-provoking
Cons: not very educated about Chaos Theory, editing, hard to understand, the overall structure

I have always considered Ashton Kutcher a comic who played for cheap laughs in films like "Dude, Where's My Car" or "Just "Married". I was wrong. After seeing "The Butterfly Effect", Kutcher is an actor who can carry dramatic films. More on that later. ...

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: suspenseful, exciting
Cons: language, nudity

This movie has made it onto my 'top-thrillers' list because of all the excitement in it. This movie always kept you on your toes and next gave you an expected scene. Every moment was unexpected so that made it so exciting. Ashton Kutcher ...

Pros: Incredible new aged twist on an old premise - Great acting!
Cons: I had a nightmare afterward!

I viewed this on demand from my local cable company last week and I was blown away. I really was not expecting much. The movie's star, Ashton Kuchner, had not really impressed me during his run on "That 70's Show" but my husband swore I would like it. ...

Pros: profound learning available if you think about it afterwards
Cons: sound effects and certain parts that need not be that graphic

this is a shock to me in both ways. firstly, at how strong the sound effects were and scared me a bit esp when he returned to his blacked out days. secondly, this film is graphical and shocking in a profound way. Apart from objectively reflecting ...

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: 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: Decent Acting, Intriguing plot,
Cons: Disturbing, The Director's cut, Violence

I didn't want to watch this movie to begin with. I thought it would be boring by the beginning and I'm not much of a movie fan anyway. After the first two scenes it had me hooked. The young man who played Ashton Kutcher's character as a teen was amazing. I really hope to see this boy in more movies. The movie was all in all pretty good, but the whole thing was a bit gruesome and violent. The only thing I can really complain about was the director's cut, that was a little too gruesome to be considered as creative, unlike the idea they had in the theatrical version. This movie was interesting and full of ups and downs, I would recommend it for someone looking for a thriller...not for the faint of heart!!

Pros: Good suspense, plot opens to main character at the same time as audience.
Cons: Climax of movie is never really defined.

Have you ever been asked if you would have done something differently if given the chance to? What was your answer to that question? It may seem like everything would have worked out for the better, but in all reality would it have? As the movie correctly points out, according to the chaos theory, the simple flap of a butterfly's wings can disturb the atmosphere enough to cause a cyclone half way around the world in the future.

This movie takes this theory, along with the human emotions of regret and perhaps even selfishness, and combines them into a great story line.

The movie follows the life of a boy as he becomes a man, a boy that is a little different than others, in that he suffers blackouts. Only once you realize what the blackouts actually are can you fully appreciate the plot of the movie.

It's a great movie for anyone who enjoys suspense with a slightly out-of-the-ordinary touch.
