A Thriller with Little Thrills,

Rating: 4/10 (3 November 2018)

The Butterfly Effect is a poor movie with a shoddily developed plot and an ineffective cast. It is certainly an ambitious film that had interesting ideas, but unfortunately it all becomes muffled. There was a sense of overenthusiasm and confidence in the idea that did not help in giving it any weight or scope.
There was so much that it could have done right, personally I love the idea of time travel, and I thought the way that he was going back in time to his body and age that he was at that time was immensely interesting, but it never ended up doing anything more than being lightly amusing.
The cast is pretty lackluster, the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart just do not belong in a film like this, it brings the caliber of the movie down to a noughties teen romp, which they fit fine in to and are fun to watch, but they did not do anything to benefit this mess.
Convoluted and overbearing. Filled with great ideas that are never executed well, avoid The Butterfly Effect.

A man discovers he can time travel to the bodies of his former self and alter the present.
Best Performance: Ashton Kutcher
/ Worst Performance: Amy Smart
