Personally, I did not care for this movie. The plot line was strange and didn't make much sense. Another movie that I preferred more that this that has somewhat of the same plot would be Frequency.
Unlike letica! and ForgivenForSure I disagree and think that The Butterfly Effect was an amazing movie that defiantly breaks the mold on time-travel from Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko shows one thread of time travel and doesn't really expand on it and you don't get to understand the full meaning of traveling back in time and how one thing can change everything. The Butterfly Effect shows this fully,... read more

When most of the fans would argue that this concept is totally awesome, in my opinion, it was just interesting at best and, sometimes, barely made sense with some huge plot holes.
