William D @Iangargan 1d I’d give this a 83. Can’t believe it’s its in the 30’s for critics See more Erin M @Mightymotes 3d Great movie…watched it when it first was out, and revisited it 20 years later when I found at thrift store on bluray! Movie critics are out of touch living in a bubble of pretentiousness…and aren’t in touch with what normal, traditional valued movie viewers appreciate and enjoy!

See more JOSHUA K @defmagic Aug 7 I have really fond memories of *The Butterfly Effect* from when I first saw it around 2004. I tend to cherish movies from that period of my life as much for the memories surrounding them as the movies themselves, so take that into consideration. For its time, this felt unique, creative, and really fun. Some of it gets too dark for my taste, especially anything involving animal abuse, which I usually avoid entirely. A few of the other darker moments are also difficult to sit through. The core idea is great, though, and you can tell this was a passion project for the writers/directors. After proving themselves with another film, they finally got to make this with Ashton Kutcher, who was apparently just as invested in the character and story. For my personal experience, it’s a solid **B-**. Judging it purely as a movie today? Probably closer to a **C-**.

They just saw the budget of the film and gave negative reviews to it. The reality is that this film keeps you glued to the screen, from begining to the end, it has a very original script and concept and an ending that makes you remember the movie for many days and even years. Great movie! See more Ashlyn A @ashlynalana Jul 18 Disturbing, dark, depressing. This film made me deeply reexamine the world around me. Centered around a young man who realizes that he can change his past and “fix” what he regrets. However, each choice has a devastating outcome. This film has its problems (ex: predictable) but it really manages to wiggle its way into the audiences psyche. Even years after watching it I still find myself thinking about this film and the lessons I learned from it. I still find myself disturbed and disgruntled by certain scenes. In the emotional impact sense this films feels like a punch to the gut. And in my heart it will always be a cult classic. See more Read all reviews
