Butterfly Effect/The Butterfly Effect 2

Butterfly Effect/The Butterfly Effect 2 DVD

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT: Playing God has its consequences which is the theme of the tricky time-travel shockfest THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress who share writing and directing credits make a splash with a gripping script that never fails to throw twists and loops into the plot. Both thematically and visually the film is similar to the perfect commercial filmmaking in the team's script for FINAL DESTINATION II. Here Evan Trehorn Ashton Kutcher is a college student who has suffered from blackouts and memory loss since he was a child. Tormented by deeply repressed childhood memories he has visions of his best friend and first love Kayleigh Amy Smart as a child Irene Gorovaia whose Dad Eric Stoltz is a child molester and whose brother Tommy has a serious sadistic streak. In search of greater clarity Evan pores over his journals and is physically transported back in time where he is still a young boy John P. Amedori and has the ability to change what happened. But soon he realizes that changing history has caused calamitous results elsewhere. A mesmerizing thriller with a dark underlying mystery THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is delightfully chilling. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT 2: This small-scale sequel to the 2004 feature film builds on the premise set by its predecessor with characters able to leap back in time in order to change their personal histories. But as in the first film such tinkering with history only leads to dire consequences in the present causing further havoc for those afflicted with this unique ability.
