Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

alejandramoore 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

vamsikiranp What if your past haunts you? Have one of these thoughts crossed your mind:1. that you could go back in time and change the past so that your present looks much simpler?2. If few incidents that happened in your life have not only affected you but devastated your friends' lives ?3. Sacrificing a budding relationship is all that is required to ensure the rest of the lives of all important people in your life will be normal and happy?Its fascinating and enthralling watching this movie!!

Davis P The Butterfly Effect starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart is a twisted roller coaster of a movie. It is about Evan (Ashton Kutcher) and his ability to look at different entries in his childhood journals and go back in time to change something bad that happened in order to save someone in his life, it's almost always to save the love of his life Kayleigh (Amy Smart). The movie plays kind of like a dumbed down version of other smarter more sophisticated thrillers. I really do feel conflicted about the film. It has it's intriguing moments and it features good performances by the actors, especially Amy Smart. But on the other hand, there are times in the movie where you just roll your eyes because it's the usual teen/college aged crap you see in stereotypical youth targeted films. The college/sorority section of the film was the main part of the movie where I felt that way, the way the characters acted was dumb and almost laughable, and it was hard to buy, but then in other sections the material was solid and I bought the whole thing. That's why this film as a whole is a mixed bag, there's some pretty good things in it, but it never really reaches greatness, and it doesn't rise above character stereotypes that dumb down the movie. Another good thing I liked was how it ended, it was kind of touching and different. Overall I'd say a 6/10 is the fairest and most accurate rating for The Butterfly Effect.

markbyrn-1 As I watched the Butterfly Effect, I wondered if the writers were influenced by an episode of Star Trek Voyager titled, "Year of Hell". The story premise was exactly the same; a man (Ashton Kutcher) is driven by the love of a woman to travel back in time to rectify a mistake but whatever he does results in a new future that is no less nightmarish than before. Overall, I found it to be an semi-interesting yarn but eye-rolling ridiculous as Kutcher keeps going back in time and coming up with idiotic fixes that naturally result in a worse future. His final solution to avoid ever having befriended the love of his life is predictable and flat but it had to end somehow.
