The Butterfly Effect - good acting, good premise, good idea.

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2004)

I don't know why people are jumping on the idea that the acting in this film is bad. I was glued to my seat during the entire hour and a half of this film and not once did I cringe at something that was recited wrong, or weirdly said. I liked everything about this film. It's hard to explain what exactly I enjoyed about it - maybe it was the message of faith, or the message of love, or even the message of "whatever happens, happens" since even if we were able to turn back time it wouldn't always save us, our relationship, or even our lives.
Many people are comparing The Butterfly Effect to Donnie Darko. The only similarities I see in both films is the genre (being science fiction), and how both main characters opt to turn back time in order to save their significant others.
It's a good film for those who can handle multi-plot lines, science fiction, as well as a thought provoking premise and ending.
