This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This one kind of surprised me because I was curious as to how they would work the basic theme of the original movie into this story. I think what impressed me the most about the film was the direction. I really liked a lot of the establishment shots of buildings, the skyline, and the city, along with some nice shots of birds in flight, etc. It REALLY added a lot of mood, I thought. Also, the basic structure and look of the film was done very well too. And, the acting was pretty decent all the way around.I felt that they did a good job, too, in reworking the story with the basic element from the first film that we are already familiar with. So, this story seems like a natural continuation or progression of the story line. I also liked the older guy who appeared to be the main guy's mentor.Some may feel that the ending was not quite as perfect as it could have been. But I think, considering how bloody DIFFICULT it usually is to come up with ANYTHING decent at all for sequels to low-budget Horror / Sci Fi films, that this one came out a hell of a lot better than most do. You end up with a pretty gripping and suspenseful story, and one that is believable enough to keep your interest until the end.So, if you are a fan of Time-Travel oriented Sci Fi films, and you liked the first movie, and if you keep your expectations within reason considering that this is the SECOND sequel to a low-budget Horror film, then I think that you might find this one quite entertaining...(Probably between a '6.5' and a '7', but since it nicely surpassed my somewhat low expectations, I nudged it up to a '7' :)

Good movie, but not a great one. Not one of those movies that make me sit down and imagine myself in the protagonist's shoes. The first movie was thought provoking, during and after the movie. I came up with dozens of tricks and possibilities that I would have pulled off if I was in Sam's place. Revelations was thrilling and well directed, but it did not utilize the possibilities of time travel to its maximum potential, nor did it clearly display the 'butterfly effect'.COMPARISON WITH THE FIRST MOVIE: -In the first movie Evan went back in time with a plan. However, in Revelations, Sam was clueless and clumsy every time he jumped back. There was no apparent purpose of his time travel and it would become obvious that things were not going to end in his favor. -Revelations did not have as many plot holes as the first movie. But that was only because we were not aware what Sam was doing at the time he traveled back. In the first movie, we knew exactly what Evan was doing and were familiar with the scenes.WHAT I WANT FROM A FUTURE BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE: -The original concept of time travel be kept,i.e, the protagonist can only travel back to certain life events. -The audience should be intensely familiarized with each of these events. -The time traveler experiments with his abilities to analyze and memorize every piece of information at these events. -The violence be dimmed down a bit so more people can watch it. -The time traveler THINKS BIG. It is annoying to see that such a powerful ability is used for petty issues, compared to what can actually be accomplished.

First of all the first butterfly effect was probably the best one made, And the second one was pretty good but the third one sucked. At the end of the second butterfly effect the baby she was holding was looking at a picture of his dad , and it looked like he was trying to go back in time. Now why in the ____ couldn't the third have started out there maybe the child went back and saved his dad and mom from dying in the car wreck where at the end the only one that died was the dad. Come on guys surely to GOD you added that in the end for a reason. Make a 4th one but this time let it correspond with the second one start it were the second one left off please get this rite.Hire me and I will do it I have no experience but I know how the movie should be

Although there is no doubt in saying that I have seen better movies than this one, but the point about this movie is that it is a newer experiment, while talking about the sequel, we know what happened before, so we can't serve the same thing again, and that's the new requirement that occurs, so when we talk about TBE 2, they recooked, and in TBE 3, they used the plot of the other twos as an appetizer for your food and then goes the story, there is no doubt the story is average but still while we talk about time travel, the writers are always in dilemma to hold firm to the script so that flaws should be avoided, and this is how they deal with the story,Overall, I do realized about the climax what's going to happen but then the end somehow lefts you unsatisfied, but having no other option, you have to accept it....My verdict : Watch if you have watched the other parts of the series...
