The audiences journey

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2004)

The Butterfly Effect is like a movie I have never seen before. It is simple to understand yet complex in story, nevertheless it is truely a great piece of film. It takes you on a journey through time and shows us how various actions can cause serious consequences on the future. Evan discovers he can alter his future by reliving his past he never lived because of his "blackouts". Eventually he realises that he can't play God and so, makes one very hard decision that will leave a lump in your throat. The film bascially tells us that the choices we make in life are critical and can effect even the slightest of future events, unlike Evan, we can not transport ourselves back in time to alter our past to change the future which is why we must not live cautiously but live and make choices that we can see the consequences of.
