some scenes are hard to watch, but I appreciate it because its completely real. the contrast in light and dark areas in this film are great for viewing and transitions are great. the first few actually made me jump like hell even though they werent designed to do that.
Most importantly, this is a rare movie involving time travel that actually ties all loose ends! I guarantee that if you pay enough attention to this movie you wont leave the theater with one question unanswered.
My advice, fuck the critics and fuck LOTR part 3 or 4 or whatever is in now. See this movie ASAP, because it will probably be one of the best of 2004.

I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to waste my time with this movie. No matter how good you may say it is, the fact still stands that Ashton Coochie is the leading actor. That alone brings the film down to nil.
As for the critics not being competent enough to understand the movie, that's a laugh. However, I could say the same exact thing about some of the people that post here - so it's not completely unbelievable. The point: pay attention to what I say in my posts before you start bitching at me.
And I could be wrong, but last time I checked, women and dogs running around on fire, and time travel, aren't realistic. Horror movies aren't supposed to be "realistic," so please try to use that word properly.
And LOTR was a fantastic movie. Why else did it win so many awards? Because it was a stupid piece of shit? I highly doubt it. Let's wait and see how long Butterfly Effect is out in theatres - probably not very long.
Ashton tried a feeble attempt to make a 180 from his normal, spaztic characters, to a deep psycological scene. Give me a break.
AGAIN I REPEAT. This is my opinion. So don't start bitching at me about MY opinion.
