I loved that movie. I also love BitTorrent, if you know what I mean. :nod:

I'm kinda surprised...I thought it was poorly acted, bad script, decent plot, and all around a YAWN. My roommate wanted to rent it sooooo bad and couldn't get it so he just bought it and I was NOT impressed. But I suppose to each his own, I've certainly seen worse movies than TBE.

It held my attention and I liked it, but I don't think it was anything amazing. I wouldn't buy it though.

I was stunned, a great movie!

I like it when you have to think :)
some time paradoxs here and there but thats just fun to discuss after.

I liked the cinema ending better then the DVDs dir. cut.

i liked it, interesting plot and i thought the acting was good


i wish in the end instead of never being born he ended up with a happy life though

Watch the other side of the DVD. ;)


I had some of it figured out from the very beginning. All in all I thought it was a good movie. I recommended it to a buddy of mine and he also enjoyed it.

I didn't think it needed all that much thinking afterwards. The plot was pretty straight-forward in its resolution.

To me thinking movies are the ones that leave me with a question, an ambiguous situation, or a mystery at the end that makes me consider what has happened and draw conclusions based on whats been presented and what I know about the subject. Often I go out after the movie and research the subjects touched upon.

speaking of a mind job type movie, ever see Memento?

i got it on Video on Demand so i only saw the ending where he ended up with a happy life.

i'm usually not a big fan of Aston Kucher, seems like a cocky lil bastard...but his performance in this movie was unreal.

Yep, it was pretty good. I felt sick with the way the main guy was treated at times by that lady which was cool; she was a real bitch. (It's been a little while since I've seen it.)

Ok if you aint see the movie dont read bellow.

SPOILER

Ok there are two versions out.

One where at the end he kills himself at birth.

The other he goes back to when he met the girl and his mother says to him to be nice to her so as to become friends. He just turns around to her and tells her not to talk to him. So they never become friends ergo she leaves when her mother leaves and she has a nice happy life away from Ashton. Then it cuts to a scene where Ashton is walking a busy street and he spots her from far away and recognises her instantly she looks at him and kind of recognises him but ignores him and just walks past.

I like both endings. I like the death ending because it ties in with what the father was trying to achieve and it brings on the fact that the gift was past from father to son and the son perfected it and managed to do what the father didnt.

The other ending because it shows the realisation of Ashton that he was the cause of any of the girls misery and that in order for her to be happy he would have to deny himself her love.

Bittorrent rules!

I had alot of glitches in the timeline to think about. Everything I say below is based on my belive that everything happens in a lineer timeline. No Parallell universes or stuff like that :)

How did the blackouts happen the first time?
When he was a kid for the first time.

His stigmata hands in prison?
after hurting his hands his whole life should become diffrent again. Ok, IF he could live it exactly the same... then he would have hade the scars his whole life, and even his first day in prison.

The knife, the picture of the dead nazis?
He had to have gone back in time before?

It´s fun that he remembers everything for the movie :) but he shouldn´t be able to remember anything of the lifes he timejumps from. Cus it never happens.

bla bla, I lik to find errors. But don´t get me wrong it is a great movie, and if it where star trek realistic it would probl have become worse.

PS. Love Star Trek

Hey Hobo,

Take a tip from WESAFT...if you are going to say something that will spoil the movie give a heads up at the beginning of your messaage so that people like me who are checking out the thread just to see if the movie is worth getting dont have the ending spilled...no bad feelings...I still plan to get the movie, but now I know the ending. :(

Take care.

I heard that it was not good, so I have not seen it. Maybe I will now. I'd heard that the village was overrated, so I read a synopsis of the entire movie, and regret that, as reading it it seemed like it could have been pretty interesting, and now I'm spoiled :(

its definetly one of those flicks either you love it or you hate...for most people anyway.

Yeah, butterfly effect was exellent!, I had no expectations whatsoever about it, I mean it´s my gf who does all the movie choises mostly, and sho regularly just pick them from IMDB top 100, top 10 or whatever :p .

When she first told me about it, I was expecting horses, butterflies and other shit typical of her kind hehe, but yeah it was great!.
:D

OK, question...I recently saw this movie on pay-per-view and it had the ending where he scared the girl away so she would go live with her mother. I never heard of the other ending, so could someone tell me how he managed to kill himself as a baby?? Like, wow man.
I too liked this movie, being a sci fi buff - even tho I'm not an Ashton Kutcher fan. I thought the premise was very interesting.

***SPOILER ALERT***

He strangled himself with the umbilical cord.

I watched the movie on DVD and *that* was the ending I saw. I haven't seen the "scare the girl away" ending.

now THATS twisted. and i thought the dog on fire was bad

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I saw The Village the other day and thought it was an excellent movie. I read some reviews about it when it first came out and thought it sounded corny. When I finally ended up seeing it, I wished I hadn't waited so long. Several twists that are right up there with Seven, Usual Suspects, Sixth Sense, etc.

Hmmm ... I absolutely hated Unbreakable so I'm not sure I'll plonk my movie money down for another M Knight Shama-lama-ding-dong movie.

I like Shyamalan's style, but I hate his movies. I didn't like Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, Signs, or The Village.

I liked the Sixth Sense (even though some jerk ruined it for me), but Unbreakable and Signs were terrible. I heard the Village was, too.

I haven't seen Butterfly, but I just can't imagine "Kelso" in a serious role. Everytime I see him I have this "Red Foreman" reaction.


Did he ever find his car? :confused:

Do you want to see a Great Movie that didn't do well at the box office?
See "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams ..

I just saw it

1) I was NOT expecting to be scared this bad by it. Goddamn the pedo part was scary.

2) It did not live up to its name (that is, the title of the movie). I was expecting more subtle changes in his life totally changing everything, like the course of history. I think it's likely that they would. Every time he changed something there should have been a different president or something. And there's now way that when he got the dad to stop touching the girl the boy would kill his dog again -- things would take a different course.

Otherwise, it was a really good movie.

Agreed :nod:

I recently tried to purchase this on DVD but the movie has been deleted by the distributor. :mad:

Columbia House has it..

Thanks CASD.

It's also available from amazon for US$12.28.

However, I'm in Australia and the shipping is about eleventybillion dollars. :(

I like the 12.28 I'm going to spring for it!
I've got the VHS but I'd like to see all those colors with a DVD

Let me know if I can help getting you a copy.. To bad my daugther won't be going back for awhile..

Thanks for the offer, CASD.

I've got a wishlist running at Amazon and, one day when I'm feeling rich, I'll order the lot which means I'll save a bit on the postage.

Hope you enjoy the DVD when you get it - the colours *will* look awesome. :tucool:
