The Butterfly Effect 3 is nowhere near as good as the outstanding original or even the solid direct to video sequel, but it certainly manages to hold it's own, and kept my interest throughout. The movie manages to give us quite the intense going back in time scenes, with Sam trying to fix everything, and not only that it constantly keeps you guessing on who the killer truly is, I even kept thinking it actually would be Sam. For a DTV movie, they did really well with what they could for the budget, and there is a couple of really nasty scenes that not only managed to shock me, but impress me highly as well. Chris Carmack makes for a decent lead who we can somewhat sympathize with, so that was good. The ending has a really great twist, that I honestly didn't see coming, and I usually always guess these kinda endings, but it did a good job at surprising me. It's nothing outstanding, or even anything i'll ever watch again, but for what it was I got a decent amount of thrills from it, and that's really all I can ask for.
Performances. Chris Carmack makes for an OK lead. He's nothing brilliant, but he holds his own most of the time, and I was able to root for him on many occasions. Rachel Miner does very well as the Sister Jenna. She's unpredictable and I dug her.
Bottom line. Buttefly Effect 3 is a fairly entertaining time waster that I liked. I love time travel and anything to do with it, so perhaps that's why I dug it so much, I don't really know. Still give it a whirl on a cold rainy night, it'll do the job.
6/10
