if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I saw this movie when it came out and liked it, but wasn't blown away. Forgot about it honestly. I just watched it again 14 years later and I am floored. I can't believe I didn't get it the first time. Simple one of THE best movies I have ever seen. Hands down.

This might seem a cheesy plotline, but is actually very entertaining. To make things short, it's just what the title reveals; small changes, if you could do them; and who has not ever thought of what would had happened if you just kicked that horrible bully in the teeth/took that seemingly amazing opportunity/ stood back from taking a certain step, intervened when you never did, would have resulted in 20 years later? A better life, or a worse? In all its silliness, it's a damn entertaining movie.

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)

This is 3.5 am in the night . I just finished this movie and honestly i never saw any movie like this. this is the movie for people who wanted to know the meaning of past,present and future.... the butterfly effect is real...here is the proof you are always creating your future, what you are doing right now creates your future .. for example if you smoking right now your future will we cancer or any lung diseases but in real life you cannot go back in time and fix it.. SO WHAT ARE YOUR DOING RIGHT NOW IS IMPORTANT AND IF YOU WANT A HAPPY LIFE . YOU SHOULD FULLY AWARE OF WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW . IN LAST ITS A MOST MOTIVATIONAL MOVIES I EVER WATCHED AND ADVICE EVERYONE TO WATCH IT ONCE IN HIS OR HER LIFE
