The Butterfly Effect 2 - ACE Train Movie Review

Nick and Julie were deeply in love, but when death robs the young couple of their lifetime of happiness, Nick isn't willing to say goodbye to his soulmate without a fight. Soon discovering that he has the ability to travel into the past to a point before the time of Julie's untimely death, Nick struggles to find a means of saving his one true love despite the increasingly troubling results that his well-intended heroics seem to have on the future.

The first Butterfly Effect was a great film. This sequel wasn't quite as good (because it had been done before), but it was still a very good movie. Despite not having any big stars, the plot held its own and kept me interested the entire time. The ending wasn't much of a surprise, but it could have gone a couple of different ways and turned out to be a fitting conclusion. After enjoying this film, I sure hope they don't make another sequel. Although it's a cool idea for a story, it has reached the point where another movie would be overkill and clearly an attempt to capitalize on past success (ala Final Destination 3).

Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Eric Lively, Erica Durance, J.R. Bourne

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
