Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) has reached his adult years being a constant sufferer of blackouts which have caused him to forget some of the scarring events from his childhood. However, after stumbling across his old journals and reading some of the haunting goings on from when he was young, he is able to travel back to those particular points in time. Not only that but he also has the power to change the course of events and alter the future. The only question is… whether this will change things for the better.

Although the movie deals with some pretty bleak and dark subject matter, Kutcher – who takes the role completely serious and nails it – brings a certain humour and warmth to his character, which lightens up the intensity of the overall movie.

All in all The Butterfly Effect does exactly what it says on the tin and gives a brilliant demonstration of how the smallest of choices can drastically change the course of events for one’s future, get involved.
