SnoopyStyle Sam Reide (Chris Carmack) uses his time-traveling ability with help from his sister Jenna (Rachel Miner) to solve crime pretending to be a psychic to the police. Elizabeth, the sister of Sam's murdered girlfriend Rebecca, tells him that her convicted killer Lonnie Flennons is not the right one.The 1st Butterfly Effect has Ashton Kutcher at his hyper best. The start of the franchise has an interesting idea but some confused messy story elements as well. Butterfly Effect 2 is a waste of time. The character isn't compelling or watchable. The tone lacks the original darkness. In this 3rd installment, they are able to get most of it back.This time the lead is Chris Carmack who has a roughness that translates well as he gets more manic. Rachel Miner co-stars solidly but she needs more screen time. Some of this is filmed in Detroit which works quite well. The logic of the situation is expanded a little in this one. Also the movie starts right away having already traveled back in time and affecting a big change.

felixoteiza Pretty good flick. Entertaining too and well structured. And one with some similarities with Identity in that it got both strong scientific (theoretical) bases and an end twist--or rather two—which may seem contrived while being completely legit. In Identity it was psychology, here is physics, or rather the paradoxes of time travel. Now, this is the first one I see from this franchise so bear with me if you have already seen the others.The main theoretical difficulty for traveling to the past is that it may create impossible, contradictory, situations. The best known thought experiment about it is that of a man who goes to the past and kills his own grandfather, while this last is still a boy, so he won't have any kids; so the killer will not be born, so he won't be able to kill his grandfather. The solution to the paradox lies in the idea of an infinite number of coexisting alternate universes, realities, containing each possible outcome for each possible event. It's like a plot which starts with a man coming out of his house and: a) taking a walk; b) being hit by a car; c) taking a bus d).. All these secondary events--and the ones coming after, and the next, to infinity--are there, available, but it's only one, or rather one lineal sequence of them which constitutes what we call our reality, chain of events, History. (ex.: said man takes bus, goes to his office.) That's all you need to know to understand the plot of this movie.Sam can travel to the past and change events and so change the future of people. He uses this gift also to witness murders past, tipping the police about the murderers. He has been warned also he shouldn't change things, as he'd change also chains of events. He did it once, when going back in time to save his sister from a fire in which she died. He saved her but at the price of losing their parents in the same fire. What torments now Sam is that his girlfriend Rebecca was murdered later by what seems to be a serial killer. He sets to find her killer after being begged to do it by her sister, who despairs that an innocent man will be executed for that crime. As feared, Sam makes matters worse when now both sisters are murdered, because of his intervention. The movie moves along this line of action, with Sam insisting in going to the past to repair things, only to make them worse, creating a bleak present for him and those around, against strong pleads from his sister. In that process, people who liked him now hate him, some are killed and then reappear alive and so on. Finally he uncovers the killer, but he's confronted then with the most heartbreaking dilemma of his life. He takes the right moral decision; he had no other choice, really, as his primary objective was to save lives.This is mostly an action driven flick, for which the cinematography and the action just need to be appropriate--which they are. Little known actors fit well this kind of plot, as they'll just have to pretend they are in the given situation-no need to fill the screen, please. The pacing is good, the plot development impeccable. The tension and mood set in from the beginning and stay for the duration. Atmosphere is not something you'll be missing here.But above all TBE has a very well structured plot. Some may feel cheated by the identity of the serial killer at the end, but they shouldn't. This isn't your regular psycho who murders to indulge in his twisted fantasies or for revenge for wrongs past but a human psyche who has regressed to savagery. This killer can be really seen as a wild animal in human form, which marks its territory and then attacks anyone entering it. That's why this murderer doesn't fit the usual serial killer profile. Also, don't fall for the simplistic "It was just a dream" formula as it seems to be used here. This one is trickier than that. The fact that both Rebecca--or her sister--and the parents are alive doesn't give us any clue, as it would have been so in any case. We don't even know if the sister really existed, nobody mentions her. Was it all just a dream Sam had while napping in the car? What we saw before that really happened? Are the actions of the kid at the closing a hint of reincarnation or, worse, the shape of things to come? Sorry, but no hints there; draw your own conclusions. 7/10.

atinder This movie is much better the second one in seriesThis time is movie Sam, who back in time you save is sister from fire that where she original died, when he did that he accident created serial killer.This movie is more kinda of slasher movie as well, we don't get the killer at first, we just get see the killer kill the Victims and some of death scene are really bloody not gory.I found this movie really entertaining from start to the of this movie, this movie never got boring for me (liked the second one.I was a little disappointed when I found out who the killer was however he dose make sense for that person to be the killer.The acting was kinda of on and off in this movie, most of scene were really well acted sometimes they went bit over the top!This was good movie, 5 out of 10

Sam Micel So I have just watched 'The Butterfly Effect 3 Revelations' and wow! What an amazing film.The film is based about a man Sam Reide (Chris Carmack) who can time travel and makes his living helping cops identifying murder's but when he goes back in time to his girlfriends murder he can't help but intervene, which leads to more horrific events through the film.From start to finish I found my self entranced, watching trying to figure it all out. The film is confusing and it does make you think a lot! But I do believe that it was intentional trying to put you in the shoes of the main character.Its a film that gives you everything that you expect, blood, gore, nudity, a great plot and storyline and fantastic acting especially from Rachel Miner who plays Chris Carmack's psychopathic, mass murdering sister. Not saying that Chris Carmack himself was a bad actor, he did an excellent job of showing major dramatic chops.I went into the film expecting to be confused, I came out of the film feeling concluded and liberated! A fantastic film!I would give the film a 8 out of 10 and defiantly add it to my top 100 favourite films.Sam Micel
