The Butterfly Effect

from my 100 Popular Movies Marathon, part 10 of 100



The Butterfly Effect, 2004. A man is able to relive and change moments in his childhood.

Written & directed by Eric Bress & J. Mackye Gruber. Starring Ashton Kutcher.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good). It helps that almost no difficult acting was required of Ashton Kutcher.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). It's pretty clever, but not much else. There's lots of horrible stuff that happens just for the sake of having something horrible to happen. And a love story that exists for no apparent reason other than that the people involved are the main characters in the same movie.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
