The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Couldn't think of a title^ anyways, don't be a hater and try to point out the plot holes in this movie and take it as it is. This movie has a sick idea and creates a emotional and thrilling story inside of it. I don't really like the name Evan, and was kind of mad i found myself rooting for a guy named Evan, but that just shows how good Ashton Kutcher is in this movie. I'm a die hard Charlie Sheen fan and was not a fan of Ashton Kutch in Two and a Half Men, but he is really good in this. CONCLUSION- If you are looking for an good movie that you will be surprised and intrigued by, watch this. PS The directors ending/cut is the way to go.

I really love it! It's my favorite movie, I see it more than once.It gives us a great life lesson demonstrating how each action, however small it is may have secondary effects, so I think that before doing something we have to ask twice. It gives us a great philosophical teaching! They should show it in schools

Evan Treborn suffers blackouts during significant events of his life. As he grows up, he finds a way to remember these lost memories and a supernatural way to alter his life by reading his journal. The Butterfly Effect packs some really good story elements from here and there that of course aren't very original to be perfectly honest but the entire time travel although it does get a bit tiresome after a while it's easily the best part of the movie. Ashton Kutcher is doing a "fine" job in the title role but they could have picked a much better actor in my opinion, Amy Smart is really beautiful as Kayleigh and i think she has the most interesting backstory, plus the film had a much better ending than i was hoping it would have a "happy ending" kind of closure. The time travel as i said is really good, the cast is doing a "fine" job and the soundtrack really fits well with the mystery of the movie. It's not a Masterpiece but it's not a complete failure either. (8/10)
