The Butterfly Effect
The best thing about a parallel universe is that you can see what your life would be like if you had ordered the Clubhouse Sandwich for lunch.
Fortunately, the time traveller in this sci-fi movie is interested in things more important than alternate lunch timelines.
As a kid, Evan (Ashton Kutcher) suffered blackouts anytime that something bad happened. Now, as a university student, he finds it difficult to recollect much of his childhood–save for his crush, Kayleigh (Amy Smart).
One day, however, while re-reading his old diaries, Evan discovers that he can re-live those moments when he lost consciousness, fully cognizant and capable of modifying them.
Targeting pivotal moments involving young Kayleigh, Evan begins to adjust past incidents, with mixed results.
With an able cast, slick production and mind-melting material, Butterfly Effect is an agreeable example of alternate realities.
However, in a different reality, I probably hate this movie. (Green Light)
