The butterfly effect is a movie based on the chaos therory for time travel. Ashton Kutcher plays the protagonist, a young man who blocks out harmful memories of significant events of his life. As a child, he has had traumatic formative experiences with As he grows up, he finds a way to remember these lost memories and a supernatural way to alter his life
The movie isn't so much about time travel as its about how seemingly insignificant alterations beget major consequences. Its a rivetting 2 hrs of back and forth into the events and lives of the protagonist and others around him.Ashton Kutcher shines in the movie with his mix of expressions and characters of anger, criminal and mostly confused with events that he has altered.
The movie keeps you engaged through the series of time travel and one keeps wondering what memory will he alter next. Director did a brilliant job of defying viewer expectations and keep suspense building by continually creating new crises for Evan (Ashton) to resolve. Concepts like chaos theory, alternate reality have been dealt in other movies too and successfully so. But this one is made with such engaging storyline and almost everything a movie can show - Troubled love, college, prison, madness, lots and lots of nosebleeds :)
Rating: 8/10
