decent time travel movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2007)

this movie has a good premise.going back in time to change your present or future and the ramifications this could have.it's not an original premise,but it's 1 that hasn't been done to death yet.at least i don't think so.the movie has some good dramatic moments and some suspense ,but i didn't really find it all that compelling.it is quite disturbing in some scenes.i think this is Ashton Kutcher"s first big starring dramatic role,and i didn't quite buy him in the role.he has improved since then,though,most notably in "The Guardian" also starring Kevin Costner.in the "The Butterfly Effect" he seems a bit over his head.Amy Smart is also in this movie,and is good as always.my vote for "The Butterfly Effect":6/10
