Movie Rating: 5.5 / 10

You’ve probably seen the original and now, you’re wondering if the sequel has the same kind of intensity and drama, right?
Well, it’s sad to say but The Butterfly Effect 2 isn’t very original in depicting this freak phenomenon scientifics refer to as the “butterfly effect” (in a nutshell, it’s based on the chaos theory).
While I found the storyline to be somewhat entertaining because it depicts “high tech”, I felt the main character didn’t convincingly deliver in regards to the sheer terror anyone would “normally” have jumping in and out of a “time tunnel” of sorts.
It’s a fine movie to rent (if you’re a fan for this sort of film) but in my view, it doesn’t have the depth to become a silver screen blockbuster.
Considering the original was so good, it’s sad to see this second release didn’t pack any of the initial excitement that made it so unique.

The cast for the first Butterfly Effect was amazing and that’s surely, in part, what ruins the second movie.
It’s obvious that the TBE2 cast does its best -but- there should’ve been a major star in this sequel because the first release worked so well.
Maybe the next such movie will address this lack of acting experience (not talent) issue. We’ll have to wait and see…
