Different movie with kind of cool concept

Rating: 6/10 (2 October 2019)

The Butterfly Effect is an excellent titel for this movie, it really explains the whole idea this movie is based on. The movie over all is a bit ridicules and made for teens, that's the feel anyway. Still, it's kind of a cool movie to watch. It takes you on a journey that keeps you interested and entertained. It also makes you think and philosophy a bit about life. The actors acting was all alright as well. Also, they found some very good matching child actors for the adults, they actually looked like them.
Then their was some stupid scenes, that didn't really make a lot of sense. For example when Evan was going to destroy the blockbuster with a knife? Why did it have to be with a knife? And why did that fail right away, just beacuse his mother found him with a knife in his hand, couldn't he just make an excuse and then find an other way to destroy it?
It was plenty of scenarios like this where Evan just acted very poorly in the situations and made bade judgment and decisions, even those times when he already knew what was going to happen. Also, it seemed this 'gift' was cursed, didn't matter what he did, it always got worse.
The scene when his father trys to to kill him. It was a bit over dramatic to me. Why wouldn't his father try to help him instead? Also, what did his father do that was so bad? I mean he managed to get a beautiful family, why wasn't he satisfied with that result? But sure, we don't know, might had been anything. Or he's just dramatized by the whole thing. But trying to strangle his son? Really? Wasn't he a good guy? But the idea behind the scene was pretty cool, so I guess I understand.
Yes, their were some cools scenes. And the whole concept of the movie and take on time traveling was cool too. It's new and you really didn't know what was going to happen the next time he jumped in time and changed things. All the different time jumps do blend and mix with each other well. Their is no real plot holes, just more that you just question the characters decisions and actions. I did anyway. Nothing got explained also, but personally I don't need an explenation, it's a movie, trying to make up some hum bug logic for this magic would probably only be just stupid and add unecissary time to the run time. Overall, still, pretty good movie. You might be a little bit more aware of what you do after and how your actions might effect yours and others future. Something to think about...
