chancesarent	post #4  on January 26, 2004 - 7:56 PM PST   I loved this movie.I think this movie got so many bad reviews because reviewers pre-judge the movie due to Ashton Kutcher being the star.It wasn't the greatest movie in the world,but it was definitely better than the director's last outing(Final Destination 2).There's a rumor floating around that there's a second,more disturbing ending to this movie that is going to be added onto the DVD.

It is hard for me to want to see it for that reason. I don't get a damn about who he sleeps with, I just really do not like the guy - in an "candid" interview or his acting.

I don't get a damn about who he sleeps with, I just really do not like the guy - in an "candid" interview or his acting. apparently ashton cancelled all his promo interviews after the brutal reviews. i saw part of one he must have done before that, and he looked ever so despondent. hee.

Not bad...not good...but somewhere in between. There were some inconsistancies in the plot line. Basically, some fundamental issues regarding everything we have come to know about the space - time continuum. Other than that I think the movie was very enjoyable and had a great premise. my $.02
rmarkd	post #8  on February 15, 2004 - 1:57 PM PST   Definitely worth seeing. The critics were unfair with this movie. IMDB ratings have it at about a 7 and that's where I have it too. Some scenes are a bit violent and disturbing, but it's the kind of movie you can talk about afterwards. I don't know if it'll be a cult classic (probably not), but I came out of that movie thinking it was surprisingly good. Then again, I'm a total stranger to you, so take all of that with a grain-o-salt. -Mark > On January 25, 2004 - 7:17 PM PST robynalatorre wrote: > --------------------------------- > the butterfly effect: > A new cult classic or hollywood trash? > Discuss... > ---------------------------------
