I just saw it too. It was pretty good, but it dragged on WAYYYYY too long towards the end.

I wanted to see this movie for a bit cause I'm a huge Ashton kutcher fan. Then I heard the reviews were horrible and started doubting it but this topic is pretty positive. I think I'll go tomorrow.

Yeah. Looks like they took a good premise and basically butchered it.

I'll wait until it comes out on video, unless one of my friends sees it and can give a positive review.

I was pleasantly suprised at how much I liked it, seeing as how I usually hate anything involving Ashton Kutcher. If you suspend disbelief and ignore some of the weird plot developments, you'll like it.

And for some reason, i found myself getting a little emotional at the last scene (with Oasis playing in the background).

Actually, I thought it was surprisingly quite good.

Not the best movie i've ever seen, nor the most realistic, but yeah, it was a good use of 20 bucks for a night.

It's hard to be realistic when making a movie about time travel. :cool:

If you accept the movie as is, it's great. If you start picking it apart however, looking at the paradoxs and the plot holes, it's loses a little of it's appeal. Basically it's one of those movies that has to be self contained, and has to be totally detatched from logical reality.

I liked the movie, I thought Kutcher actually did a good job being serious

I just watched it tonight and was stunned by how good it was. The director did a great job of bringing you into the movie, there were many times where I cringed with fear or jumped with shock. Kutcher really did do a good job if you ask me, I wasn't caught up in his Kelso act at all.

The reason that this is getting so many negative reviews is because it was not made for the people who wrote them. It is clearly based towards the college age student. I don't think any of the elements in it were of bad taste, its just that the reviewers are too old and don't like the use of the word "fuck".

It really does bring you in. Its not the best movie ever made, but it really is a good movie for the 16-22 age demographic. I would recommend renting it if you haven't already.

Its not Ashton Kutcher like normal though, if you in the mood for a good suspence thriller I would recommend it.

The Outlaw

Yeah through the whole thing I was thinking he was going to come out and be like "YOU GOT PUNKEDDDDDD"

It was surprisingly good though I thought.

Whoa. I didn't see that coming. BTW, what are your thoughts on Requiem For A Dream? Because I saw that movvie a while back and thought it was utter crap. Like it was ok for the first hour, but it just didn't go anywhere and I lost interest pretty quickly after that.

Of course it got mixed reviews. Think of who is reviewing the movie compared to who it was made for? The bad reviews that I read were all complaining about usage of the word fuck and other little conservative nitpicking like that.

I hate Ashton, but I actually liked the Butterfly effect...

I've heard Requiem for a Dream was good from all my friends, but I have yet to see it, and sorta have no intention on doing so

So far its still probably one of the most disturbing movies I've seen this year but it was damn good. Also probably one of the better movies besides the Back to the Future movies to deal with time travel.

The Butterfly Effect and I have an odd relationship. See, my aunt let my dad borrow it, and he was so hyped on it. He raved about it ever since it came out(at this time, he was working at Carmike Cinemas), saying, "Dude, you've got to check this movie out.". So he brings it home, we watch it, with my expecations very low. And damn, I was totally wrong about it.

It's a very entertaining, exciting and thrilling film from start to finish. On the DVD, there's a bonus alternate ending(I won't spoil it), and the alternate ending is so much better than the original ending(IMO). It gives such more importance to sacrifice, and allows you to realize what a big sacrifice can really do.
