The Butterfly Effect (2004, DVD)

I WAS VERY SURPRISED BY THIS MOVIE AND HOW GRIPPING AND INTENSE THIS MOVIE REALLY IS I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE SO GOOD ITS SAD AND SCARY AND FUNNY AT TIMES IT REALLY HITS A NERVE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE! I RENTED IT AND QUICKLY BOUGHT IT AFTER SEEING HOW GREAT IT IS!

Well, it has been 5 weeks and I still have not recieved the movie.
I paid for it that day thru paypal. The seller is corrupt.
He has over 1000 Negative Feed Backs in one year. He sure is making good money ripping people off. Let's see 1000 movies at 4.00; he has made $4,000 at least by ripping honest E-Bayers off! This is horriffic.
This is in dispute as we speak. I want a refund or my dam movie!

Evan (Ashton Kutcher) Takes Us On a Journey Of Trying to Manipulate His Past To Make It Perfect For Him and His Beloved KayLeigh (Amy Smart). These 2 Actors Make The Movie So Real Life Like and Truly Shows Ashton Kutcher's True Potential! To Me The Movie Truly Brings Out That Each Of Us Have a Destiny...In My Description of Destiny...It Means That We All Have Choices And What Choices We Make Leads Us To Where We Are Today!! A Fantastic Movie With Many Twists & Turns On Evan & His Friends Lives...Some Good...Some Bad...But It Is A Really Fabulous Movie and I Highly Recommend It To ALL...One of My Favorites!!

This is one of my favorite movies. The idea of time travel has been studied for years, but now the main character has realized he holds this capability. He decides to go back in time and fix a horrible thing in his past. What he doesn't realize is that this little change will alter his own future life as well as everyone elses' around him. No matter how much he tries to change in the past, the future isn't what he wants it to be. Great movie, great plot, and great actors. Must see!

Excellent acting on everyone's part. Great special effects. This one keeps your attention. Ashton Kucher (sp?) was impressive in this.

I like The Butterfly Effect because it's a very interesting look on the theory of time-rift and it stars Ashton Kutcher, one of my favorite actors, in a more serious role than he is usually in. I hope he does more movies like this and become a serious actor because he proved he can do it in this movie. However, if he does more comedies soon, that would be fine as well.

Lately he hasn't been in movies since he is busy with reality T.V. shows such as: Beauty And The Geek, Adventures In Hollyhood (Three 6 Mafia & Project Pat), Miss Guided, The Real Wedding Crashers, Room 401, and Pop Fiction.

However, Ashton Kutcher will be in 1 movie this year, What Happens In Vegas... (with Cameron Diaz, Queen Latifah & Dennis Miller) and 2 next year, Personal Effects and Spread.

The sequel, Butterfly Effect 2, doesn't come close to how great the original is. Partly because it's a new cast and there's not too many flashbacks to when the main character was younger. There is some interesting scenes such as a friend of his being put through a glass table but not much else. I think the same thing happened with the sequel to White Noise.

I recommend The Butterfly Effect, but not the sequel. The first one is 5-stars, the second is 2-3 stars.

I really like this movie. It makes you come away with a different way of thinking. Each time you make a move, a decision, a left or a right, it will make the course of what your life is. This movie is a bit sci-fi, but worth watching. The message is if you could go back and change what you did, how would it turn out. After watching this movie, you will wonder.....

This movie is great, becasue it really puts you into the story. Personally, i sat there from beginning to end without taking notice any of my surrounding. If your looking for a great mystery movie, you have found one.

This is a great movie, some what like the hit movie "Donnie Darko" that deals with time travel, this one focuses more about the people that you effect once you change something in the past... Its a movie that you'll want to watch if you like adventure, suspense, and action

My Son Read the book, and he liked it, and wanted me to buy the movie, which I did but unfortunantly it had scratches and would not play.but the seller did reimburse me payment.

This movie is very original and has some very good parts. Rent this one at least if you haven't already purchased it.

I think I liked it, I have two in my collection now that I think about it.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Very good transaction. No problems at all! Product is as in perfect condiction as described. Thanks!

It never arrived, So I have no comment on the movie.
I would like to have seen it, but this is America, It's only a dream
(american dream) as if it was better here than elsewhere, Oh Please.
So we buyers just keep getting screwed by sellers who say they sent items,
But how would one know if you are just being scamed, It's becoming to frequent
to just be an oversight or theft in the mails.

KEEPING it Simple...A POWERFUL FILM ABOUT A YOUNG BOY WITH THE ABILITY TO GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE DIFFERENT ACTIONS OF THE PAST, TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES OF THE FUTURE.

Very powerful Movie. I truly recommend. Don't forget to rate my other reviews. I am serious about my movies. Thanks.

Butterfly Effect is a movie that kept me on-edge and always guessing what could possibly happen next or how could it possibly get worse for the characters. It's a movie that "warns" that messing with timelines can be dangerous and may not always turn out like you think it would "if you had only done something differently".
The characters were likable and very versatile. Although at first it was difficult to figure out what was going on, if you stick with it, it will make since. It's one of those movies that if you get distracted by something while watching you can miss something major and lose a vital part of making since of the movie. So, it's best to watch it when you won't be disturbed--so use the bathroom before hand, make the popcorn before you start, and be prepared to watch it straight through.
It's a wonderful movie (This is the 2nd time I bought it, since someone "kept" my original that I loaned them.) that you'll enjoy watching again. THIS TIME I got the one with the Infinifilm so I could watch the extra features and enjoy the "secrets" behind the film. I also have Butterfly Effect 2 (which isn't nearly as good as this first one!). It's on my "Top 10 list".

Ashton Kutcher in his first serious role. Great acting and I fell in love with the characters. Great story with heart touching surprise ending. Definitely a tear jerker

When I first watched this movie, I loved it so much! It's on my favorite movies top 3! So, I decided to buy it and share it with people. I love every little thing about it! It's such a depressing movie, but it's worth your money because it's so strange (in a good way!) =)

The Butterfly Effect stars Ashton Kutcher. Usually known as a funny man, this is a different kind of role for him. Playing a college students who discovers something about himself that shouldn't be possible. He is able to go back to a past part of his life and change the outcome of his actions. Trying to right his wrongs can sometimes get him in more trouble than anything else. The DVD is loaded with special features including deleted scenes and an alternate ending. While not being one of my favorite movies of all time, I would recommend it. It has a great story line and the actors do a wonderful job.

DVD worked fine, but the seller made it sound like it was in perfect condition. It was in the factory plastic (partially), but there was a pretty big hole in the cover.

This movie was cool. It kept me guess all the way through it which is what I love.
The main actor was great. I hope there is a sequel.

I really like it, but probably for different reasons then others. I laugh a lot when he is limbless, to a point where I suffer from breathing problems. You need to be really optimistic about that part to be able to laugh as hard as I did. So rediculous!

Starting off with a poignant quote from the Chaos Theory relating how something as simple as the flutter of a butterfly can ripple into a typhoon, The Butterfly Effect is an interesting little thriller that takes a look at just how every action really does have an equal and sometimes very opposite reaction.

The filmmakers have also done a nice job with the look of the film. Where a lot of times CGI can really and truly suck, here it is used pretty effectively to emulate what Evan sees as he's going back in time. It works well without resorting to a cliché version of him seeing his life flash before his eyes or anything like that. Instead it's almost frightening in its intensity and from a purely visual standpoint, quite eye catching. There is one stand out moment the computer-generated effects are obvious, a scene where Evan wakes up and finds that he has physically changed, but aside from that, the movie looks very nice. The cinematography is slick and effective with plenty of interesting eye catching angles and colors used throughout, and the soundscape, which plays a pretty important part in the overall feel of the film, is well designed and atmospheric.

Both the 113-minute theatrical cut and the 119-minute director's cut are included on this DVD. The key difference between the two is the alternate ending that finds Tommy deducing that his relationship with Kayleigh isn't the problem after all, it is in fact something completely different. It is, in my opinion, a bleaker but better ending that suits the tone of the film better. There is also quite a bit of character development in the first third of the film that fleshes out the storyline quite a bit better. The key point though is the ending, which completely changes the tone of the film when compared to the rather syrupy theatrical ending that New Line chose to use instead. Six-minutes of running time may not seem like an awful lot of difference, but believe me, the ending is far more appropriate and changes what is basically an average quality film into a much better, albeit darker, thriller.

This is a movie of a human growing up having black-outs.(Random states of time that he blacks out for no apperant reason. When he gets to be a lil older, about 9 years old, he starts to write a journal. When he gets to his college years, he discovers that he can change his past during those black-out moments.
This movie would be good for teens and adults.
