Into chaos

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2004)

I'll start of by saying I never really liked Ashton Kutcher. He seems stupid, at least judging by all the film's and shows I've seen him in. However, a few months ago I read the premise of this film, and being a student of Chaos Theory, was intrigued. The actual butterfly effect is a great theory, because it's true. Anyway, the first trailer came out, then the poster. More and more I was intrigued. Then, I saw it. And loved it. I even liked Ashton Kutcher's acting. The lovely Amy Smart did, as usual, a great character who constantly changes. From the very first moment of the film, I was creeped out, but in a good way. The feeling of fear in my stomach only grew with each passing moment. Every time he would attempt to change one thing, and cause an effect that alters the course of his life and others made me actually think. Not many movies can make one think, very few in fact, but this one made me think and wonder. So, if you like to think about the movie you are watching, and be creeped out at the same time, The Butterfly Effect is your movie.
9 out of 10
