Igor S @Igor_Sena Oct 30 I watched this movie again, after about 15-20 years, and maybe i'm older, more demanding/critical with the movies i watch, but it wasn't as good as i remembered it to be. It is full of forced, incredibly poorly acted scenes, that i almost turned it off. It is also very dark and depressing. Having said that, it it gets better as it goes, and the concept, as well as some of the elements are really good, making it still worth watching in my opinion. It became a classic with audiences for a reason. Plus, one thing i didn't notice when i was younger and this was of my favourite movies, is that, although slammed with a hammer throughout the movie, the overall theme of the movie is more about trauma, the negative chain that it can cause in people's lives, and how 1 small decision can bring a completely different outcome. Maybe back then, the much younger me was so focused on the cool sci-fi/time travel aspects of the movie that i ignored its main theme.

Don’t care what the haters say! See more Alexander S Oct 20 The Butterfly Effect is a uniquely strange film that works to its advantage, particularly with Ashton Kutcher's dramatic performance, which will intrigue some audiences and leave others feeling it's a bit corny. Nevertheless, I found the film intriguing. Grading: B See more Michael G Oct 7 Critics get off on being controversial but honestly just read half their reviews and you can see where they like on the IQ charts 😂 This movie is a staple in its years and it is definitely a classic I have only heard good things about it from countless people. It surrounds the main character having memory deficits that present from blackouts. The character grows up around damaging conditions to anyone in their early to adolescent development years and the audience sees the impact and direction it leads characters down in their lifes. To help with his memory the main uses a tracking method in attempt to fix the issue and finds a power in remembering that leads the movie through the importance of every decision and how it may impact our life trajectory. It is one of a kind in this area of psychological thrillers but leans towards the psychological portion. It is very interesting to think about and makes you think how we as humans are imperfect and sometimes dwell on our past mistakes and forget to capitilize in the present. Do things really happen for a reason in our lives and can you guarantee correcting a mistake will lead you to a better future?
