Review of The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009) by Sophie B — 05 Dec 2010

Stupid, stupid, stupid movie. I wasn't a fan of the original Butterfly Effect with Kutcher, but this movie was on and I thought hey, why not?

The movie is about a guy named Sam, who is able to time travel. When his house gets caught on fire, and his sister dies, Sam travels back in time to save his sister. However because he saves his sister, his parents end up dying. Then later his girlfriend dies and he tries to travel back in time to save her, but it gets confusing so I'll stop there.

The entire plot is just so dumb, and it's so unclear. The guy time travels, but has to be in a bathtub full of ice water. Why? I have no idea. Either I missed the part where they explained that, or the movie never mentioned it. Also, the entire part about his house catching on fire doesn't make sense either. The whole thing was just so complex and stupid. I didn't even try to understand what was going on.

Thankfully, the end clears up a few things, but not much. I'm still left saying "Wtf?". It's a pretty pointless movie. Don't watch it.
