This movie should’ve deserved a 7\/10 from me, but they screwed up the ending and broke the main rule of time distortion. There’s something about time distortion movies that always gets screwed up. The only one I can think of that worked pretty well was Terminator<\/a> and Terminator 2<\/a>. The main rule that time distortion movies need to follow is that if the past has changed, the future can not have occured.<\/strong> I never analyzed the 3rd Terminator movie, but the 1st 2 kept stuff in check where the means may have changed, but the end results remained the same. There was an alternative ending to Terminator 2 which would have broken this rule, but like I said, it was an alternative ending.<\/p>\n

The Buttefly Effect<\/a> didn’t break this rule, but they did cheat by magically adding different ways to change the past at the end and added a memory that was not shown before in order to make it a “somewhat” happy ending. Speaking of which, it appears The Butterfly Effect 2<\/a> is out.<\/p>\n

The story was originally a Korean film called: il Mare<\/a> and have been adapted by the directory as an American story.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

Spoilers<\/strong>: (Show<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The main storyline is about a Alex and Kate who communicate through a mail box in the lake house, where the Alex is living 2 years earlier than Kate. They fall in love and decided they’ll try to meet.<\/p>\n

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, I don’t know how the Korean version ended but in the American version, everything works out until the end, when Alex dies trying to see Kate. When Kate realizes this, she rushes to the lake house and warns Alex about this and tells her not to see her and they’ll meet 2 years later on Valentines day at the mail box. And of course Alex comes back alive and “oooh” happy ending, but the storyline is completely broken now.<\/p>\n

If Alex hadn’t die, Kate wouldn’t have been upset\/depressed and returned to the lake house, and first started communicating through the mail box.<\/p>\n

If Alex hadn’t die, Kate wouldn’t have found out from his brother 2 years later and rushed backed to the lake house to warn him.<\/p>\n

Another interesting fact is that even after she figured out who Alex was, she didn’t remember the man she was trying to save on that day was Alex.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I couldn’t see how this movie was going to have a happy ending, unless they screwed it up, which they did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
