As we go to the movies, we expect a lot of shows to be all that we want them to be and often they fall short of our expectations. Butterfly Effect is everything it should be and more.
The whole concept of being able to change your past is quite a simple idea really. Nonetheless, Butterfly Effect makes you feel like time altering is possible and very real. Who wouldn't want to go back in the past and erase a bad ordeal or save someones life?
Butterfly Effect is a brilliantly written movie. The filming and editing are very well done. Directing was superb. Special effects and camera work are excellent. Every aspect of the film is just right.
Ashton Kutcher has taken a big step in becoming a serious actor. Although not worthy of an Oscar, his performance is very good and you watch the movie without being reminded of "Dude, where's my car" or "That 70's show." Amy Smart does an incredible job playing many different roles and really should get more roles in the future.
Butterfly Effect is a gritty, moving, intense and clever show. You won't want to miss this one.
