This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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).

Some guy is able to travel back in time by getting into a bathtub full of ice and turning off the lights.He's got a mentor for this, who tells him to just watch what happens in the past and never intervene, lest there be ugly unintended consequences. His sister is always with him, checking his vitals and so on while he's "away". We learn that one time he did intervene, when as a teenager his house caught fire and he went back in time to save his sister but as a a result his parents died.Now a girl from his past shows up and asks him to help her. Her friend/his ex was killed by an acquaintance of them and he's about to be executed. She thinks he's innocent and has new evidence. Also, in the present the police is investigating some serial killer who kills women and our time traveler acts like a psychic and helps them out.Our guy travels back in time repeatedly in search for the killer but always gets involved instead of just watching. As a result, when he wakes up, conditions in the present are different. He starts losing it because he's never able to see the killer's face. He also notices that one woman survives every time. He starts traveling in time without his sister who kept him safe and sane. The police start suspecting him because he keeps popping up at the wrong time/wrong place and often is connected to the victims, making him the ideal suspect.In the end we do find out what is going on and who the killer is. It's somewhat of a surprise but given that there are few characters in this movie it's not that surprising. Overall, The Butterfly Effect 3 is a perfectly mediocre movie. Direction is mediocre, so is the acting. The script is slightly better but not entirely satisfying. I think they could have done a better job with the casting. The guy sure spends a lot of time shirtless but he's not very sympathetic and the sister doesn't quite look like she could possibly be his sister.

First of all the first butterfly effect was probably the best one made, And the second one was pretty good but the third one sucked. At the end of the second butterfly effect the baby she was holding was looking at a picture of his dad , and it looked like he was trying to go back in time. Now why in the ____ couldn't the third have started out there maybe the child went back and saved his dad and mom from dying in the car wreck where at the end the only one that died was the dad. Come on guys surely to GOD you added that in the end for a reason. Make a 4th one but this time let it correspond with the second one start it were the second one left off please get this rite.Hire me and I will do it I have no experience but I know how the movie should be

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
