A thought provoking and fascinating concept

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2007)

I just came across this film on TV and was absolutely engrossed. The idea that someone can go back in time and change an event is not that novel - it happened every day in Groundhog Day - but this film explores the Butterfly Effect of the title, seeing the consequences that follow each time Evan goes back and tries to right a wrong.
We would all love the opportunity to go back in time and put something right. This film makes you think about the effect that could have on other people.
A terrific film, with some marvellous performances and one which kept me guessing to the end. It is rare to see a film which has a complex, intelligent and involving story line which comes up with some refreshingly new ideas.
