The two movies are completely different stories. Getting two movies for the price of one is great!

3/5 The Butterly Effect

I love the first one it is amazing, I really wasn't too thrilled about the second one. But at the price I was getting for the both of them you really couldn't go wrong. So hey you have to be willing to compromise.

4/5 The Butterfly Effect/The Butterfly Effect 2

Butterfly Effect / Butterfly Effect 2

These two films are as different as night and day. They are not two equal sides of the same coin.

Butterfly Effect is a compelling, intriguing tale. Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart give life to this story, full of hope and sadness. How far will love take you to save the one that you love? Can one's mental state alter reality? Can the past be changed?

This type of film comes along maybe once in a decade. It deserved better recognition than it received.

On the other hand, Butterfly Effect 2 is a film which could have been as good or better than the first film, but it has so many shortcomings and missed opportunities in the plot.
It loses momentum as it degenerates into its various subplots and inane dialogue.

Erica Durance and Gina Holden are the only bright spots in this film. Unfortunately, I felt Gina Holden's talents were not utilized. She is a fine actress and deserved a better story line.

Eric Lively seemed bored. He is a much better actor than the script and director showcased in this film.

Butterfly Effect deserves 4 stars. Butterfly Effect 2 receives 1 star. Should you buy this double DVD? Yes, but watch the Butterfly Effect 2 first. Like they say, save the best for the last.
