I love the concept of time travel and trying to change the past ....But in this one every time he tries to change it everything goes bad No " Happily Ever After" crap And another thing I like is the kids feel like actual kids

This is a film I highly enjoy, and I like rewatching it. There's some complaints, though: The acting is all over the place which adds to a general impression of B-movie-ness. That feel makes it surprising when the film sometimes goes for emotion. Some of Bress and Gruber's writing choices are great, some bafflingly mean-spirited seemingly mostly for the sake of it. They have fun creating great contrast between the timelines, thereby illustrating the fascinating concept of life-defining moments.

The premise is potentially interesting, but the deal-breaking plot holes, inadequate acting and general incompetence destroy the movie beyond all hope of repair.

Mildly interesting concept, but it goes downhill pretty quick. I can't take Ashton Kutcher seriously, nor the ridiculous random character developments in this film.

3x Tak. Scenariusz, rezyseria, gra aktorska. Jedyny w swoim rodzaju i najlepszy z calej serii. Jezeli ktos nie widzial, to jego strata.

I don't care what other people say about this movie. I really liked it, It was a unique way to look at time travel and Ashton Kutcher did what will propably be his best performance ever.

This film will catch many people off guard. The concept is very intriguing and the dark style enhances it. At times things become overly done with little follow up by the end, but for the most part, it's worth giving a shot. Kutcher's performance could even be called surprisingly good. The ending for the director's cut is pretty terrible, so make sure you see the theatrical release. Pretty good!

The premise is strong but the material is so dark and Ashton Kutcher. Ben Affleck directed Gone Baby Gone and instantly renewed his celebrity. Ashton hijacked Bruce Willis' wife and then starred in a movie that features too much pedophilia. This movie, not the one with Brittany Murphy.

They try to make a time travel film easily accessible to everyone with an overtly simple plot and by casting Ashton Kutcher. Besides the mediocre acting it really bothers me how they leave no room for interpretation. However, the film's idea is interesting. They just don't carry it out very well.

Very awesome plot, and the paths we're taken down are fun and creative, and even emotional. Color me impressed by Kutcher. The only drags are the acting from the child actors sometimes, and some glaring plotholes.

Everyone has things in the past that we wish we could go back and change, and then we assume our life would be better. This movie claims that the vast majority of those things would have ruined our life in some way. It's an original take on time-travel (at least in regards to the act of time-traveling itself) that fields two strong performances by Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart. Despite it getting a bit convoluted at times it's still worthy of a watch.

Good movie which kind of makes you sulk about your own life and try to imagine what would have changed if you had changed some of the past. Good performance by Ashton Kutcher though.

The film has a pulling fascination with destiny. Kutcher's character can never find the happiness he wants without screwing up, no matter how many ways he tries to change the past. I thought it was engaging for what it was.

Highly interesting pyschological approach towards time travel. Very strong little stories, some more realistic than others. However, they are always carried by the outstanding performance of Ashton Kutcher.

Man, whoever told Ashton Kutcher he could act was WRONG. The story is stupid time traveling drivel and the lead is brain dead. Disaster.

I was shocked that this movie was actually decent. And for anyone who's skeptical, Ashton Kutcher is very good in the movie (and I dislike him as much as anyone).

The Butterfly effect is a must seen for the movies, actually speaking of commercial movies and "cult movies".
The drama of the movie always makes us catch the right timing and all that, all the things that make a good movie, all the things you can find in the Butterly Effect

Oh boy. A pretty stupid plot based on an over-simplified interpretation of chaos theory, with some spectacularly wooden acting and complete disregard for the laws of physics. Sigh.
