The Butterfly effect (ive) !!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2010)

When i first sat to watch this film i did not expect much from it. In fact i was reluctant to watch it as i thought this will be just another mediocre sci-fi. But i was wrong ... and i am glad i was.
Ten minutes into the film i was glued to the screen, not daring to shift my line of sight. It was thorough entertainment and the acting was not bad either. it amazes me what you can do with such a humble budget, it makes all the 80mn and 90mn films look very ordinary. Great production value.
This was one of the films which i hoped never got over. I would not like to give away any part of the story as doing so will be a criminal offense on my part. Instead, i would encourage you to watch it for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
This film has an impressive story, an elaborately drawn plot efficiently brought out by the director and the good work done by the people in the effects department.
The only reason i did not give this a ten star is that as a good reviewer i must refrain from giving ten stars. I have my reputation at stake (that was a joke, i expect you to laugh ... that of course after issuing me a pardon for my poor sense of humour). Honestly, i thought the acting could have been better. I was half expecting Kutcher to shout "YOU GOT PUNKED", but that completely vanished in the second half where the performances were much better.
VERDICT: A must watch for any audience, irrespective of your preferred genre.
