Product Description

Review

Moviegoers who loved Back to the Future or Frequency salivated over the promise of The Butterfly Effect. Unfortunately for them, the film is more a repeating game of "do over" than a thought-provoking look at space-time conundrums. Taking inspiration from the notion that even a butterfly's flapping wings can send a ripple of causation through the world, the film tries to flesh out a murky premise about a boy (Ashton Kutcher) who can alter his past by mentally rearranging the writings in his diary. The words flutter, the physical world reverberates like a massive earthquake, and suddenly history has been rewritten. If what the film did with its core existential ideas was interesting, Kutcher's gift would not require in-depth explanation, nor would the rules that govern it be very important. But Butterfly is no Donnie Darko, despite stealing some of that film's tone and plot elements. Darko is far more successful at de-emphasizing plot clarity in favor of style and a penetrating emotional truth. Crucially undercutting this film's power is the fact that it presents Kutcher's alternate pasts in a sequence that builds toward the most comic version --- intentionally or otherwise --- rather than the most tragic. The writing/directing team behind Final Destination 2 brings a similar slick palette of ominous blue hues to this film. But it's Kutcher's lack of gravitas, the reason he's cast in comedies more often than thrillers, that becomes an insurmountable problem at exactly the wrong time. As a result, The Butterfly Effect has no effect. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

Synopsis

Final Destination 2 screenwriters Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber make their directorial debut with the sci-fi thriller The Butterfly Effect. Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher with facial hair) wants to free himself from his disturbing childhood memories. As a kid, he often blacked out for long periods of time and tried to detail his life in a journal. As a young adult, he revisits the journal entries to figure out the truth about his troubled childhood friends Kayleigh (Amy Smart), Lenny (Elden Henson), and Tommy (William Lee Scott). When he discovers he can travel back in time in order to set things right, he tries to save his beloved friends. However, he finds out that relatively minor changes can make major problems for the future. The Butterfly Effect also stars Eric Stoltz, Ethan Suplee, and Melora Walters. The title was inspired by the story A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars The Butterfly Effect impressions, Mar 13 2009

By	C. Denison (Hamilton, Ont.) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Here's my impressions I gave The Butterfly Effect [...]

I watched The Butterfly Effect today. It's an interesting film, I will say that.
I'm going to flat out say though that I did NOT enjoy that "junkyard scene"; that was just too much for me. For those of who you have seen this movie, you know what I'm talking about. After watching that part, I had to wonder about how many people actually stopped watching the movie after that part. It was pretty intense.
In fact, a lot of the movie was pretty intense, in a satisfying way though. I never got bored with it. It had a cold ending though, but I liked it.

Video quality was pretty good. Some of the daytime outdoor scenes seemed pretty bright, a couple scenes looked a little bit soft, there was some video noise popping up a couple of times, but that's about it in the complaints department. Colours were nice, blacks were solid, depth and detail were pretty good.
4 outta 5

Audio was really nice. This one contains a 5.1 DTS HD-MA track. This track was fabulous. I didn't really find anything wrong with this track. I'd say it was perfect. 5 outta 5

One thing I would have liked to have seen on this blu-ray disc would have been an audio commentary of some kind. But hey, for the small price, this feature-less release is still worth it.
