I would ask you to read this review, before moving on.I find that the story line was an excellent idea, however it did fall a little short of my expectations. There was such potential there for the script, and the scences... Full review

At first I thought that this was going to be Ashton Kutcher's first pathetic attempt to not be his type-cast blithering idiot character. But, as it turns out Ashton was pretty good here and so was everything and everyone else. I... Full review

I sat down to the movie not knowing what to expect... But from the opening scene to the end credits, the movie grabbed me and held me- very seldom do I exit a theater with such a fulfilling feeling. Though several... Full review

This is quite possibly the most intense movie I've ever seen. Anyone that doesn't give this an A+ is crazy. I was skeptical about see Kutcher in a serious role, but I have to say that I never once thought, "That's... Full review

Too bad--this is such a dumb movie, so full of holes, so predictable, so lacking any degree of depth or complexity.....It's a supernatural thriller that doesn't thrill, a needlessly twisted mystery that builds itself on a premise so weak.... ... Full Review

With this backfield of talent, Ashton Kutcher is able to front a very acceptable science-fiction/horror movie that is not afraid to crack a few heads to make the story work. I would give "The Butterfly Effect" four out of five stars for daring to not be ordinary. ... Full Review

The first half of the film is a little dull: I glanced at the time and noted wearily the film was only an hour old. But ultimately, The Butterfly Effect is a big turkey, and the entertainment value unwittingly gained, is not the one intended. ... Full Review

The Butterfly Effect works as a stunt film, holding attention with its numerous disasters each time Evan alters the future. If the movie loses ground, it's in the ending, which seems too eager to tidy things up when it should have stayed as dark and doomed as the rest of the movie has been. ... Full Review

Overall, a very good film. The film also looks terrific, despite a low budget (I'm guessing the low budget allowed the filmmakers to head into the kind of darkness they do). Audio quality was terrific, with clean/clear dialogue, score and effects. ... Full Review
