The Overall Effect Of The Butterfly Effect

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2013)

*Possible Spoilers!*
In the movies, whenever it comes to the likes of time travel, it always seems to me that heading forward into the future is about 10 times more successful than going back into the past.
This, of course, makes a lot of sense since the future really isn't set yet. (Unless you believe in fate) So, it can, sort of, be tampered with or altered to some degree. But mucking around with the past and events that have already taken place is a lot like skating on extremely thin ice.
For the most part I found the Butterfly Effect to be way too disjointed in its format to be seriously considered really good entertainment. (What an editing nightmare this film must've been)
I do give the director a lot of credit for making a darn good attempt at trying to convince me that traveling into the past is, indeed, plausible.
But since the main character came from such a dysfunctional life to begin with there was absolutely no way in hell that he was ever going to remedy things no matter how many times he tinkered around with things.
