Mindblowing

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2005)

My parents told me not to watch this film. For it was "impossible" to grasp. But I insisted on seeing it, and it was no mistake of mine. It isn't a very difficult movie if you just try to understand what Evan is going through. He had black-outs where important stuff happens. He doesn't remember it, although all the people around him do. And those events change their lives, and with their lives changes the life of Evan. Evan wants that the people around him are problem free. He doesn't want Kayleigh to die and he doesn't want Tommy in jail. Evan finds out later in life what happened in those black outs. He even finds out that he can change the past and with that the future.
The Butterfly Effect is never boring. You'll be thinking the whole time how an event he changed could change his future. A found myself thinking what he has to change. I really could understand what he wanted with his life and I tried to change it with him.
