Sorry, this movie sucks
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This film seems to have been a clear influence on an amazing video game called Life Is Strange. If you have played that you will know what to expect. The themes are at times a lot darker than I would have expected. There are lots of different sections and some work better than others, but, on the whole this is a great movie. It is a cool concept and emotionally it leaves quite an impact.
What if your past haunts you? Have one of these thoughts crossed your mind:1. that you could go back in time and change the past so that your present looks much simpler?2. If few incidents that happened in your life have not only affected you but devastated your friends' lives ?3. Sacrificing a budding relationship is all that is required to ensure the rest of the lives of all important people in your life will be normal and happy?Its fascinating and enthralling watching this movie!!
This movie is not predictable and you remain at the edge of your seat throughout. The Ending could have been better. It was not a very realistic ending to such a high octane film. The performances by lead actors are brilliant. The special effects are mind blowing. The winning factor for the film is the pace of the proceedings.
Wow! What a lot of crap I just saw, incredible! I have too say that the only brain damaged during this film was mine. It really impressed me the thousands of clichés that this movie has; it was one after the other one, and it never stopped. Do not get me wrong though, the plot and the whole idea of the butterfly effect is pretty cool, you just need to know how to express it; since it is a very complex idea. Many people say that these movie is underrated because of Ashton Kutcher's performance, but in my opinion, everything else is so bad (and I mean really bad), that I probably didn't pay much of attention to him, but for example, if the direction is bad, and if the actor is not really good, he or she obviously needs that support of the director;and since the direction of this movie its awful, and probably one of the worst I have ever seen, there for everything else is wrong, and awful, and bad, and list goes on (in this movie). There was even a part were I almost cried of how terrible it is.
