~Flutterby~Butterfly~
Has anyone seen The Butterfly Affect???? If so what did you think of it? I've heard reviews both ways. Was it too predictible? How about Ashton K., did you think he did a good job?
I saw it last night but was wondering how someone else felt. I also was left with the feeling that a prequel may be in order. What do you think?

I've only seen the previews, I don't think it's out yet here.
Looked a little like a series pilot.
Who said that? What a cynic....

"The "Butterfly Effect" is the propensity of a system to be sensitive to initial conditions.Such systems over time become unpredictable,this idea gave rise to the notion of a butterfly flapping it's wings in one area of the world,causing a tornado or some such weather event to occur in another remote area of the world. "
The movie is about memories and how changing them introduces the butterfly effect.

I found the beginning terribly difficult to watch...just a warning. It deals with some very very serious issues. Stick with it though.

I enjoyed the movie; it's about time that someone did a time travel movie in any decent fashion.

Lilith,
Thank you.
For all those who enjoy SF, you may enjoy the inverse of that premise, Larry Niven's ‘Convergent Series’ (1979). This short story uses the standard plot of a young man who has sold his soul, but introduces a converging sequence to thwart the demon of his prey.

LOL! JK jseal! I got it..but had to ingest it twice!
I had heard that Ashton Kutcher <sp?> cancelled most of his interviews for all the bad publicity as this film opened....so therefore, I didn't think it was any good......though the trailers for the flim looked good to me! Hey....what do I know? From your explaination Lil...it sounds like something I'd like to see!
I'm all frahoodled cause I just may finally get to the theater tomorrow (a date with hubby.....YEAH!)....and I have no idea what movie to pick!!!?????

Not that I want a plot line here Lil....but, what could be so offensive? I guess what I'm asking is.....what belief does one have to posess to be offended by this movie? Is it religious? You can PM me that answer if it'll give away too much here. TYVM!

LixyChick,
It is difficult to do anything without offending someone. Ref OldFart's posts in "Time for censorship?".

This is not about offending someone's beliefs....it is just something that some people have a hard time dealing with so some people choose not to view it.
