decent ashton, decent movie

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2004)

'the butterfly effect' has an unique storyline, but that's probably the only virtue to the film. ashton kutcher who usually stars in comedic roles plays evan treborn who has frequent black-outs which create holes in his memories. the whole movie basically shows evan playing with the past to fix his current situations, but what he learns is that he can't change something without completely changing something else. the domino effect. which is a good point to have in a movie, but it could have been displayed better with better editing, better directing, and better acting. although i personally think amy smart played the role of kayleigh miller well.
all in all this movie was decent. rent it. don't waste $8.50 to see it in the theaters.
