From small flutters to big events

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2013)

Evan Treborn suffered blackouts as a kid, especially when a traumatic event occurred. However as he grew up and moved towns these blackouts subsided and seems to be a happy kid at college.
When he starts reading journals he kept of these blackouts when he was a child. He finds that he is shifting in time that coincides with these blackouts and also the past and future timeline for himself and the people around him changes.
This is actually a surprisingly clever time travel film and in my opinion deals with some hard time travel concepts where you enter a world of multiverses, split future events, chaos theory and whether you can successfully change traumatic events.
No wonder poor Evan is left confused. If only he watched more Twilight Zone as a child or even Doctor Who he might not had made such a mess of trying to use his powers to fix the past and present.
Ashton Kutcher who is more known for comedy and light romance. He tries his best to muster some acting chops but it is passable, it could had been better with a stronger lead.
Surprisingly, this was a script that was knocking about for some years and it was only Ashton's involvement that gave it a green light.
It starts out puzzling and sinister but leads to a satisfactory thrilling ride as the movie starts to make sense as it progresses.
