The Butterfly Effect  

Try as I might to forgo my multiple prejudices (wow, where are all these words coming from?), I have some trouble buying Ashton Kutcher as a clever, tortured psychology student. The actor playing his character at age 7 is almost more convincing.

As for the script itself, which was heavily recommended to me by at least… uh, several people, I think, it’s not that great. Unless the problem’s with direction (besides the lead actor). Either way, there’s something quite not working and the movie could be that much better.

A little nitpick while we’re at it, since that’s what I do: Carlos shouldn’t see the scars appear; he should have always seen them. Doesn’t matter, because it only affects a detail of the story; what’s more annoying (or at least frustrating) is the way the “theory” is never explained at all. Figures: come to think of it, it makes absolutely no sense.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

D'accord avec chaque argument. J'ajouterais un truc : j'ai trouvé ridicule l'effet "brouillage" quand il lit les carnets. Ca fait feuilleton à petit budget. Je sais, c'est pas essentiel, mais comme le film se la joue un peu "sérieux", ça cassait l'affaire.

Sinon il est joli. Dommage qu'il ait l'air si bête.

Mmh, l'effet ne m'a pas spécialement choqué.

Essaie de regarder le film sur un grand écran à trois mètres de ta gueule et tu vas reconsidérer cette déclaration !
