Mind Warp

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2006)

Well, I just watching the butterfly Effect for the third time with the same result. Every time I see this film I am left with a fog like feeling as if I am trying to either remember, or understand something. It always takes a few minutes to snap completely back to reality. No other film hits me quite like this one for some reason.
This film, not unlike Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound Of Thunder", is definitely a mind warp. It's one of those films which no one can really like or hate. The only way I can explain my reaction to this film is that strong, and strange feeling you get sometimes while waking up from a dream, in this case not completely sure whether it really was a dream.
What overwhelms the senses most in this film is the raw truth to it. The evils of the story are inevitably something that consumes your own life or that of the lives around you.
I don't truly know what else to say about this film. Think back to your childhood. Whatever the recollection, try and remember everything you can right down to the most futile of details. Lay back, darken the room, and just remember. Take a few hours to do it. When you have done so, you might have some idea what this movie is truly about.
The Butterfly Effect is the only film that has ever changed my outlook on the reality.
