The Butterfly Effect

[Psychonaut]

Personally, I loved this movie to bits, but I wanted to talk to other people who had seen it about the different endings..

The first time I saw it, I saw what I later found out was the alternate ending, in which he goes back to before he was born and chokes himself with the umbilical cord in the womb. It was sad, but it was a good ending.
The second time, I saw the original ending, which consisted of him going back to when he was young and at the party where he meets Kayleigh, telling her to stay away from him and that he hates her, and then growing up and seeing her in the street, looking at her for a few seconds, then proceeding to walk away.
I found the latter ending very lame. Your opinions?

I`ve been on iMDB forums looking at all the supposed plot holes.. because of the kind of.. point of the movie, I guess you could call it, the discovery of a single plot hole seems to unravel basically the whole story.. So I try not to look at it too closely, just enjoy the movie.

Terrible movie, for the fact that Ashton Kutcher is a terrible actor.

i thought it sucked tbh.

[dirrty]

never knew there were two endings. the one i watched was when he went back and told her he hated her blahblahblah. i was laughing cause i found it funny imo. its still a good movie though i think.

it's one of my favourite films
i have both versions of dvd and yeah, the original ending is a bit crap. The directors cut's ending is a lot better (where he kills himself before birth)
The Butterfly Effect 2 is terrible though.

[Psychonaut]

yeah, i`ve heard that it`s crap..

it`s one of those movies that`s not.. meant.. to have a sequel. haha.

i fout it was quite good, one of the kids on there was dead evil when he kept beating people up and he was only like 5? i saw the ending where he passes her in new york i think, and just looked back and didn't say anything

it's one of the worst films i've ever seen, since there is no reason for the main character to change his past in it, he just does s;
so the story kind of has no point.

I really love this movie. I saw it on C4 when it was on, and that's when I saw the ending when he tells her that he hates her. And, then I bought the dvd, which has the other ending. I prefer the ending where he kills himself before his born, because it's more upset and stuff if you get me, whereas when he tells her, it isn't really much besides saying a few words to her.

And, i didn't realise there was two different endings have seen both of them. When I watched it the second time, I saw parts I never saw the first time too. But, still, an amazing movie.
