As I said in the title, this is a product review - not a movie review.

There is only one disc, not two like Amazon lists in its description. The disc starts with a menu allowing you to choose which movie you want to watch. When that movie is done, you can choose "SWITCH MOVIE" and watch the other one.

There are absolutely NO SPECIAL FEATURES! No comment track, no feature shorts, nothing (not even previews). A good value for the price if you won't miss them.

Butterfly Effect / Butterfly Effect 2

These two films are as different as night and day. They are not two equal sides of the same coin.

Butterfly Effect is a compelling, intriguing tale. Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart give life to this story, full of hope and sadness. How far will love take you to save the one that you love? Can one's mental state alter reality? Can the past be changed?

This type of film comes along maybe once in a decade. It deserved better recognition than it received.

On the other hand, Butterfly Effect 2 is a film which could have been as good or better than the first film, but it has so many shortcomings and missed opportunities in the plot.

It loses momentum as it degenerates into its various subplots and inane dialogue.

Erica Durance and Gina Holden are the only bright spots in this film. Unfortunately, I felt Gina Holden's talents were not utilized. She is a fine actress and deserved a better story line.

Eric Lively seemed bored. He is a much better actor than the script and director showcased in this film.

Butterfly Effect deserves 4 stars. Butterfly Effect 2 receives 1 star. Should you buy this double DVD? Yes, but watch the Butterfly Effect 2 first. Like they say, save the best for the last.

Wonderful double feature. Was suprised both movies were on one disc. Still Awesome. Recommend this to anyone interested to parallel universe theories.

How many times in our lives have we wanted a "do over" in our lives thinking if we could just "change" one of our actions things would have been so much better in our present day lives. These movies make you realize, life can never be perfect no matter how many times you could try!

I love the first one it is amazing, I really wasn't too thrilled about the second one. But at the price I was getting for the both of them you really couldn't go wrong. So hey you have to be willing to compromise.

I've never been a big Ashton Kutcher fan. I didn't like him in That 70's Show, so it took a long time

for anyone to convince me to watch this movie.

I was blown away. It was one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. Do you ever think about fate? Is

there such a thing? That, no matter what choices we make, we are doomed to screw up our lives and the lives

of our friends? The first B.E. was well-written, well-acted, and had me personally invested in the people

involved. Highly recommended.

The second movie, however, was nothing but a pale, poor shadow of the first. I was so bored, I wanted to

turn it off halfway through, but I forced myself to finish it. It never got any better. Don't bother to

watch B.E. 2.

The two movies are completely different stories. Getting two movies for the price of one is great!

like the movies alot, and that i was able to get em both for a good price
