Review of The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009) by Mo R — 15 Jan 2011
When a movie's genre can best be described as "pseudo-soft-science fiction," you're moving away from any chance that your film will reflect even a modicum of verisimilitude; the creators are pretty much just going to make up whatever the hell they want to advance the plot.
That's pretty much what happens in "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations." The original "Butterfly Effect" was no masterpiece, but it was an efficiently forgettable thriller with some memorable setpieces. The same cannot be said of "Revelations;" the only intriguing thing about the movie -- apart from a weird, haphazard method of creating the series' signature tangent realities -- is a hilariously over-the-top sex scene between star Chris Carmack and a supporting character (played by Melissa Jones, aka "Miss Horrorfest 2007," if the cast notes to the right are to be believed).
If Ms. Jones' reward for being named Miss Horrorfest was a subliminal non-role in this movie, she ought to demand something more substantial for a woman befitting her title.
