A young man trying to change his troubled past by filling and changing up the gaps in his memory using his journals and inherited trait from his father.

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2015)

Unlike the name suggests, Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber's movie is not something related to the chaos theory which indulge intricate realm of physics. The complex movie title is just to infer the basic fact that future gets changed if your past changes. The movie starts in an asylum with Evan Treborn (played by Ashton Kutcher) breaks from his cell and gets into a room, from where the movie goes into flashback in Evan's childhood.
Deprived from his father's love as his father is a psychopath, Evan lives with her mother and has friends. Evan has a really troublesome childhood, not only due to his friends and family, but also because he is experiencing strange phenomenon of blackouts for which neither he nor medical sciences has the answers. Earlier in the movie, a lot of scenes of Evan's blackouts appear in which after the blackouts, he would not be able to remember what had happened to him. Due to his persistent conditions, his mother makes decision to move from the city leaving behind his friends and all his unanswered blackouts.
The story turns into a new mold after 7 years, during which, no blackouts occurred with Evan and him leading a normal life, until when he discovers something strange with his childhood journals one night. He get his answers of his blackouts by mistake, which changes his whole life. He experiments with his past and tries to jot out the things. It is, at the least to say, complicated. The more he intrigues in his past, more complicated the situation for him becomes. Using his missing pieces of memory, he changes lives of others: killed some, reborn some, completely changed some, even blown and regrown his own hands. Like I mentioned: complicated.
Even the whole movie consisted of several parts and backgrounds, it is amazing that still the whole story is woven perfectly. Considering the characters and the story background are bounced round like pinball, it is quite appreciating how Ashton keep up the same emotion traction during whole of the movie. Also it is quite a work of other characters (Amy Smart, Eldon Henson, Melora Walters) too when your role and character changed this much time as in this movie.
Overall, to wrap up, the movie is very good if someone is looking for suspense and thriller. This movie is pretty unique and one of its kind. The movie keeps up the viewer expectation very strongly about what will happen next. Good acting, direction and editing are surely a plus point which could really make the viewer watch this movie again.
