Erica Durance is extremely beautiful and sexy. Eric Lively acts his part well. The Problem is the storyline. Such movies cannot be logical but they should still be believable. The Movie starts going overboard. There is too much emotional drama here and there. The supporting cast is OK. This movie did get interesting in parts but they were not able to live up to the potential it had. A good effort but just could have been better

Before i watched this movie,i never knew it even existed,now i know why. Comparing this movie to the first one is like comparing an expensive sports car to an egg(a rotten one at that).The acting is quite poor and the film feels totally rushed,but my main problem with this movie is that it seems pointless(*spoiler alert*),when the guy 'jumps'into the alternative reality the first time everything is actually fine,apart from the fact he quits his job,so actually he could of stuck with it and helped his girlfriend to pursue her dream of being a photographer and we wouldn't have to endure the rest of this poor excuse of a sequel.

After watching The Butterfly Effect (2004) I was hoping to see a seconded part to the movie. I searched the internet to find there was a part 2, there was and I watched it thinking I may or may not like the second part, well I did. I did not find it (2) quite as exciting as the first one but it was a good film never-the-less.If you understand The Butterfly Effect (2004) then you can follow part two fairly easy. As long as you know what "The Butterfly Effect" is then you will have a basic understanding of what is going on in part 2 of the movie. Part 2 is a separate film so you will still have to watch it to know what happens because it is not a copy of nor a remake of The Butterfly Effect (2004).I think the IMDb rating on The Butterfly Effect 2 is a bit underrated but not as good as the first film.7.5/10

The Butterfly Effect 2 had a lot of decent things going for it. For starters I thought the love between Nick|Eric Lively| and Erica Durance|Julie| was very strong, and quite believable, maybe not as strong as Amy Smart and Ashton Kutcher in the 1st, but still very strong indeed. I really thought the opening was well done. It starts off showing us the love between Julie and Nick, a very heartfelt and emotional segment, and then the tragic accident. For a DTV sequel I thought it was extremely well made, with above average acting for the production it had. You're able to care for Julie and Nick. Nick is a little cocky, but he has a good heart, and the fact that he clearly loves Julie, you're able to root for him. I thought it had a fitting ending too. The only problem I really had with this was, it lagged a bit in the middle sometimes.Performances. Eric Lively does very well as Nick. As I said he's arrogant, but in a likable way, and I truly believed in his love for Julie. Erica Durance is very pretty, and makes for a likable heroine. Her chemistry with Lively was great, and she made for a likable character.Bottom line. I enjoyed this much more then I should have probably. I expected nothing, and got a lot more then I bargained for. It's nothing outstanding, or anything really noteworthy, but for what it was I enjoyed it heavily. As long as you don't expect the quality of the 1st, you should enjoy it.6 1/2 /10
