Movie: The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect (Infinifilm Edition)I Tivo’d this movie a couple weeks ago and decided to watch it last night. It’s the 2004 movie starring Ashton Kutcher as a man who has grown up suffering blackouts, only to discover that he can bend time and go back and fix past mistakes in his life. However, each time he goes back he makes the present day even worse than it was. It’s a great premise, but I wish the movie had been about 10 minutes longer to explain a bit more of the kid’s background as far as when the blackouts truly started and to really flesh out his friendships with the other kids in his group.

I saw that they made a Butterfly Effect 2, which seems pointless, but then don’t most sequels seem that way?
