Couldn't think of a title^ anyways, don't be a hater and try to point out the plot holes in this movie and take it as it is. This movie has a sick idea and creates a emotional and thrilling story inside of it. I don't really like the name Evan, and was kind of mad i found myself rooting for a guy named Evan, but that just shows how good Ashton Kutcher is in this movie. I'm a die hard Charlie Sheen fan and was not a fan of Ashton Kutch in Two and a Half Men, but he is really good in this. CONCLUSION- If you are looking for an good movie that you will be surprised and intrigued by, watch this. PS The directors ending/cut is the way to go.

I really love it! It's my favorite movie, I see it more than once.It gives us a great life lesson demonstrating how each action, however small it is may have secondary effects, so I think that before doing something we have to ask twice. It gives us a great philosophical teaching! They should show it in schools

This movie is not predictable and you remain at the edge of your seat throughout. The Ending could have been better. It was not a very realistic ending to such a high octane film. The performances by lead actors are brilliant. The special effects are mind blowing. The winning factor for the film is the pace of the proceedings.

Reviewed July 2011It does have an interesting premise and that's about it. The route they took to present this premise is totally off. So far this fantasy concept of alternate universe has mostly been dealt in the comedy genre with some exceptions like the movie Time Machine. When you are going for something serious, it should be a hard hitting subtlety than amateurish sensationalism. Evan (Ashton Kutcher) occasionally blacks out at times from his childhood and a doctor suggests him to maintain a journal to keep track of them. When he is older, he finds a way to travel back in time to those blackout periods and those were the moments that have changed his life. As I have already appreciated it's premise that has a decent potential, every single instance Evan goes and changes the past, the future turns out in the worst possible way or he manages to make it worse with his inexplicable actions. Everyone applies their worst possible judgment to any given scenario. The performances were OK which was more let down due to the scenarios they were in. The plot however bad it is, is woven quite well between the blackouts and the instances of future. Visual effects were just ordinary and the pace of the movie is quick. Another instance of a premise with potential fizzing out.
