Slaggis Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I just watched this on channel 4. It was amazing!! Everything about it was good, the acting, the effects, the story, the idea and the ending. Its one of the best movies I've ever seen. I heard theres a straight to DVD sequal thats shite so I wont bother watching that because I don't want to ruin this movie. Anyone else see it?

Guest Stefkov Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I've seen it before, the one with Ashton Kutcher? There's two endings to the movie. One is Him going into the womb and I forget the other one. Only saw it once. Really good movie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 As i've said before, it's one of most inadvertantly hilarious films ever made. Everything about it is so over the top, the amputee section had me rolling on the floor in hysterics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm downloading it at the moment. I've yet to see a good movie with Ashton Kutcher in it o_0...odd cause he's actually a pretty good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I remember wanting to see this when it came out, i will have to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I´m sure I´ve seen the movie on DVD but I honestly can´t remember anything about it (except that it had Ashton Kutcher). I quess that means I didn´t like it too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 rofl word, even though i could tell this flick was trying to be serious and depressing it just made me laugh my ass off... the bit where that dog is rollin about in the bag, i mean man that looked so fake... great concept, poorly executed... its a ok flick, to call it the best film ever made shows you have not seen many films when did I say it was the best movie ever made?? I said one of the best movies I'VE seen. And no that doesn't mean I haven't watched many movies it just means I really liked this one. The dog in the bag and that boy covering it in petrol or whatever really freaked me out/made me cringe, I was literally shouting at the TV. It was just the first movie in ages I could really get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Not a bad film, really failed with its whole point though. The butterfly effect suggests that a tiny change will affect everything. Just that time he got the little burn scar or put his hands on the spikes, everything would've changed so much, there's no way after the latter he would've wound up in the same cell in the same situation with that devout latino Christian cellmate of his at the exact same time having said everything the same way. Imagine the end of that day, he goes to hospital his mum freaks out, wonders why he stabbed himself in the hands etc - his life would've completely branched off there, hence the entire butterfly effect concept. I like time travel films though, and despite its insanely bleak outlook and stupid ending (why didn't he just find Kaylie as soon as things were ok?) - it was a pretty cool watch. Funny that just a week or two ago I was talking about wanting to see this, then bam, terrestrial TV premiere. That happens a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I've seen it before, and I agree with what ShortFace said. I was looking forward to seeing it, but it just didn't turn out like I thought it would have. It's still an ok movie, but not as great as I had hoped. Nice ending though with the Oasis Choon.

Platty Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 This is one of my favourite films ever! I've had it on DVD for a couple of years now and still love it. The 2nd one is wank tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hey, did you see the Director's cut or the original ending? Cos the original ending sucks... so very muuuuuuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Why what's the alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 There are a couple of alternatives. Original is where he goes back in the womb and kills himself. The others are where he sorts out some shit which makes it so he never met that girl. He then passes her in the street and one ending they just walk on by and he is happy knowing she is ok and the other ending he turns round and follows her. Im sure there is one more ending where he asks her for a drink and she accepts, or did I just make that one up in my head? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see this a grugingly at the cinema and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread...almost! But the people I saw it with who were looking forward to it thought it was a bit meh!

Kurtle Squad Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I didn't think I'd enjoy this fil a second time through....but I did, almost as much as the 1st time. Excellent film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other endings are very nice and lovely but just don't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by that you mean the suicide one, then yeah, I agree. I found the one last night to be more 'distressing' though. What I don't understand though is that She became a really successful woman (or so it seemed), even though her Father would have still kiddyfiddled her so.... Overall a film that really gets my brain going and that I really connect to, and the only film where What'shisface (the guy who plays the main character) doesn't seem gay.
