[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] Damn you Reverend. I read through this whole thing, waiting patiently to say "The Butterfly Effect" rocked. And you beat me to it. "The Butterfly Effect" Rocked. The new "Time Machine" was a movie I wanted to like alot, but couldn't because, well, it sucked. I loved the time machine itself, and I dug the part where he goes forward right before the moon blows up. I thought that was cool. And the world changing effects were always awesome. But my problems with it are these: 1) The moronic video librarian. 2) The fact that the moronic video librarian still works after thousands of years. 3) The moronic video librarian mentions the book that the movie is based on. You can't do that and expect us to take the continuity of the story seriously. 4) The ending doesn't make any sense. While creepy, Jeremy Irons doesn't really serve any purpose. 5) The main character tries to save his fiance a couple of times, then quickly gives up on the basis that it can't be done and goes in search of an answer to why, which is never really answered. Then he decides to stay in the future with ChainMailJigglyBoobs (I would too). [/qb][/QUOTE]Okay, really valid points on 1,2 and 3- Orlando Jones should [i]not[/i] have been in that movie and the happy ending bit sorta blows- no attempt to undo the world's devestation?!? I really [i]liked[/i] Irons in his role- he knows what's going on and [i]knows[/i] why the Traveller cant save his fiance' (causality).You really get the feeling that Irons' character is starved to talk with someone of the traveller's mental capacity (all his morlocks are morons) and [i]wants[/i] him to stay. A very cool notion that the Morlocks have "hives". I really liked that the Traveller could not save his woman- it's not clear how many times he tries, but after seeing the woman you love get killed over and over, it's no wonder he stopped going back. hmmm...upon reflection, it's mostly the first half of the movie that's cool- the Eloi are waaaay to self sufficent for the Morlock/Eloi symbiosis to work like it does in the book.
