Engaging movie that was full of suspense and held interest throughout.

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2004)

I just finished watching this movie which I saw on DVD because I missed it when it was at the theater ( such is life when you have a newborn ).
I found it thrilling and suspenseful, whether or not it accurately reflects examples of the "Chaos Theory" or "Butterfly Effect".
Any good movie engages the viewer and allows for the willing suspension of disbelief for it to be effective and though slow at it's start for the purpose of setting the stage, it takes off and the pace doesn't slow until the end credits.
I thought Ashton Kutcher did a serviceable enough job in a lead role and I always like the under-used Melora Walters who I thought was great in every movie she has been in since "Magnolia" ( Evan's mother ).
So, throw away the textbooks and the theories and get wrapped into the suspense of multiple time lines and their parallel outcomes.
Personally, I don't believe Time Travel will ever take place because the proof of it would already be evident in a world, though even if seamlessly changed, still remains remarkably the same.
The original "Time Machine" with Rod Taylor" ( not the horrible remake with Jeremy Irons ) still stands as the best time travel movie of the lot, though this entry is far more complex and intricate than George Pal's masterpiece.
Watch it and have some fun!
