Once understood, loved every time...

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2005)

It takes an amount of concentration to actually understand this movie and depict its actual meaning. 'The Butterfly Effect' has a splendidly amazing story line. Undoubtedly, one of the best movies Ashton Kutcher has ever played a role in. Its about a young boy Evan (Kutcher), who suffers from a psychological disease inherited by his father. Due to this disease, he suffers from memory blackouts. That is, there are blank parts in his memory line. When he grows up, Evan finds a way to remember these key events and even how to alter his life, as well as the life of the people connected to him. The movie shows flashbacks when Evan goes back in the past, and they are extremely well done. The results shown after the flashbacks are one to marvel at. The movie is beautiful as it comes. It may dazzle you in the beginning, if you do not grasp the main concept, but once you understand it, u'd want to watch it over and over again. Kutcher does his part very well, and his acting talents are enhanced in the character of Evan Treborn. Kayleigh Miller could've been chosen as someone else apart from Amy Smart, but that can be forgiven seeing the splendid way the movie has come out. Definitely a must see! Even if you're not the Sci-Fi/Thriller type, you need to give this a try - trust me, it's worth it!
