An intriguing storyline overshadowed by poor directing

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2019)

Although the storyline is very intriguing and entertaining, the directing was shallow. The cinematography was bland. The story had a lot of potential, however the execution was shallow in parts, for such deep characters. This movie gave the feeling of an adult kids movie, which I'm not sure if I liked or didn't like. Overall, The Butterfly Effect is entertaining, captivating, and intriguing. If the directing was better this could've been a icon film.
