The Butterfly Effect isn't exactly a new theory, but it's no doubt still an interesting idea for a movie. At least it would have been if done correctly. Sadly I'm not a huge fan of the formula used here. The 'Treborn' men seems to inherit a rare gift or curse, as they can go back in time and change the outcome of their life. But Evan is about to find out when you change a small, but significant detail in your childhood, the world as you know it might change completely.
The four friends Evan, Kayleigh, Lenny and Tommy have secrets from their childhood following them into adulthood, but some of them might be undone? We follow Evan's attempts to understand his gift/curse, stay sane and change their past to create a better present and future.
Some parts of the story is intriguing, but as the story progress I began to get more and more annoyed with some of the choices made by both the characters and even more so by the creators, writers and director of this movie. I started out positive, but as they made their turns I would have aimed for the straight ahead or opposite turns to balance the story better and keep it more focused.
