The Butterfly Effect

We rented The Butterfly Effect from Netflix a few weeks ago and finally watched it on Friday. Now normally, a movie that stars Ashton Kutcher would not be high on my list. But I've heard from a few people that it's worth seeing so we gave it a go.

When I put the disc in the DVD player and queued it up to watch it prompted me to choose the Director's Cut or the Theatrical Version. We thought about it and figured we'd try the theatrical first. But that would require me to get off the couch and flip the disc over. No go. I was too comfy and too lazy. So we watched the Director's Cut.

The movie started off promising but in the end was too long with too many variations. Like, I get it. I get the point. David thought that if this was in the hands of a better director that it could be really good. Overall I thought it was pretty good. I guess I expected more of a Sixth Sense type twist. Still, the story was mildly interesting.

We IMDB'd it later the next day and found out that the theatrical version has a completely different ending. But I had already mailed it back to Netlflix. Damn, now I wish I got my lazy ass off the couch and flipped it. I guess this prove's the butterfly effect theory after all!
