Very Original and entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2004)

Butterfly Effect comes out in a time when there are less and less original ideas hitting the screen. This movie stands out as very original. The plot has depth. The characters are well written and the story makes you care what happens to them. There were also not many holes in the story as I have read in some of the reviews. There were fewer diary entries each time he changed the past. The reason some of them can remain is because he wrote in the time BEFORE they happened and could then return to the beginning of the memory. I think this was a great story and Ashton really showed his chops. I am not going to say this movie was perfect but I have never seen a movie that was. I will buy this movie when it comes out and I say it is worth a rent. I know it was well worth the $7.50 to get in the theater. Watch it and review it here yourselves.
