Cult Classic in the making....

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2005)

I have seen this film several times now, both the Director's Cut (DR) and the theatrical cut (TC). The fact of the matter is that this is a truly brilliant film.
The acting is superb, Kutcher proving he can be a serious actor (whether he is ever accepted as one is another matter!) and combined with interweaving plot lines, a sense of realisation is created. It is a haunting and tragic film (not feel good but not depressing in the way requiem for a dream is).
In my opinion the TC was a better movie than the DC (basically because the DC just copies Donnie Darko). I would suggest watching the TC first, then you will appreciate the DC.
Have heard that the Butterfly Effect 2 is in pre-production. It could be good (a prequel perhaps). I just hope it is good, because it would be a shame to spoil the good work this first movie has done.
Great Movie.
Great movie.
