This week we take a look at a film sequel. The question is; will it be as good as the original.......?
The Butterfly Effect 2
If you have seen The Butterfly Effect, you will know the basic premise to the film. In the The Butterfly Effect 2 it is the same "change and effect" scenario.
This time the lead is taken by Eric Lively, who plays successful salesman Nick Larson. The film opens with four friends celebrating the Birthday of Nicks' girlfriend; Julie Miller (played by Erica Durance).
Several key elements are played out in this first sequence, elements that are revisited throughout the film.
The action kicks off after this first sequence, when the foursome are involved in a car accident. Nick survives to find his world has been turned upside down. He also discovers that he now suffers from headaches and nosebleeds, not only that, but they occur when looking at photographs. And some how he is able to travel back in time, to period when the photo was taken.
Initially, he tries to put things right, but then discovers that he can use this ability to his own advantage. Unfortunately, what could be deemed as advantageous to Nick, can have a detrimental effect on those that surround him.
So, the sequel may not have been as good as the first film, but as a psychological thriller it was top notch. It kept me on the edge of my seat and not once did I get bored with the story or the way the story was told.
All in all, a good film.
