The Butterfly Effect/The Butterfly Effect 2

Product review, not movie review
As I said in the title, this is a product review - not a movie review.

There is only one disc, not two like Amazon lists in its description. The disc starts with a menu allowing you to choose which movie you want to watch. When that movie is done, you can choose "SWITCH MOVIE" and watch the other one.

There are absolutely NO SPECIAL FEATURES! No comment track, no feature shorts, nothing (not even previews). A good value for the price if you won't miss them.

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...

Best Double Feature Ever
Wonderful double feature. Was suprised both movies were on one disc. Still Awesome. Recommend this to anyone interested to parallel universe theories.
