A Brilliant Conflict
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I was pleased watching an older movie that kept me watching on the edge of my seat AND had a shocker (but good) ending.
I didn't feel like "OMG how lame" or "why did I waste my time watching this crap" after it was over.
Everyone here who says don't listen to the negative reviews are right......because it's worth watching!!!

After their parents are killed in a fire, Sam and his sister Jenna grow up supporting each other, Sam paying for his sister's rent, and Jenna ensuring that Sam is safe while he time-travels to solve murders.There is a scene in The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations where Sam (Chris Carmack) rants about how the more he jumps back and forth between past and present, the more it messes with his brain. I totally understand how he feels: I was confused on my first watch and I imagine that if I were to go back to 'observe' any more times I would only become more baffled.I can accept the premise that he can jump back to his younger self and see events that have already happened, but I haven't a clue how his character always manages to be in the right place at the right time, and the more I think about it the more my head hurts. I also fail to understand that, when he interferes in past events, he sometimes wakes up in the bath of icy water where he started, but at other times, returns to find himself on a couch. And when he returns having altered his future by changing the past, why does he have no recall of his current new life. Confused? You will be, if you try to figure out all of the paradoxes and loop holes in this film.So don't.Have a few beers, try to not think about the many awkward questions thrown up by the convoluted twists and turns in the script, and the chances are you'll have a reasonably fun time. The film is well acted, competently directed, and features several scenes that will definitely appeal to those who like their movies on the trashy side, most notably a totally gratuitous sex scene with a big-breasted barmaid (Sam screwing her on top of a glass topped coffee table, the camera shooting from underneath) and some pretty vicious death scenes, as Sam's meddling with time results in a serial killer, who offs their victims with a power-tool.The film also ends with a fun but silly twist that involves his Sam's sister Jenna wanting to make out with her brother (nothing like a spot of incest to make a film more entertaining), and which requires Sam to go back in time and effectively kill his sibling (even though it looks like he could easily have saved his entire family from the fire and created a time-line in which they all lived happily ever after).

This one is at least a 6 or 7 out of 10 by any standards. I think it's as good as the first one in many ways. Possibly, even better. I enjoyed it throughout and I was engaged the whole time. It has flaws like any other movie but you probably won't notice most of them. I didn't. I think it could have used a few more minutes of run time explaining some of the different character's pasts. But I think that left me wanting more in a good way. So I can't complain. I like rap music but in some spots of the movie it seemed a little out of place. Not a big deal though. The bartender totally makes up for any issues you might have. Trust me.I can't really comment on anything more without spoilers so just give it a shot. I would recommend it.

So I have just watched 'The Butterfly Effect 3 Revelations' and wow! What an amazing film.The film is based about a man Sam Reide (Chris Carmack) who can time travel and makes his living helping cops identifying murder's but when he goes back in time to his girlfriends murder he can't help but intervene, which leads to more horrific events through the film.From start to finish I found my self entranced, watching trying to figure it all out. The film is confusing and it does make you think a lot! But I do believe that it was intentional trying to put you in the shoes of the main character.Its a film that gives you everything that you expect, blood, gore, nudity, a great plot and storyline and fantastic acting especially from Rachel Miner who plays Chris Carmack's psychopathic, mass murdering sister. Not saying that Chris Carmack himself was a bad actor, he did an excellent job of showing major dramatic chops.I went into the film expecting to be confused, I came out of the film feeling concluded and liberated! A fantastic film!I would give the film a 8 out of 10 and defiantly add it to my top 100 favourite films.Sam Micel
