[film] The Butterfly Effect

[inulro]

Not quite what I thought it would be. It's pretty grim - the main character has blackouts all through his childhood, which turn out all to be repressing really horrible things. In college, he finds a way to go back to those blackout times and change things, but it takes more than a few tries before he gets it close to right.

I found the first half just unremittingly grim and not very interesting, but it did get my attention in the second half. Glad I've seen it, but also glad that I waited till it was on TV.

I really liked it. I was pleasantly surprised by Ashton Kucher's performance too, which is something I never expected to say :)

Because it starred Ashton Kucher, I was expecting something a lot fluffier and less substantial.
