After discovering that he has the ability to travel back and forth through time, Sam Reed becomes a law-enforcement affiliate who aids the police by using his skills to identify killers. There's one golden rule of his practice: whether on purpose or by accident, don't alter, interfere, or interact with anyone, as the results could change the future forever. Reed breaks that rule in an attempt to help his murdered girlfriend's sister find the perpetrator. But with each attempt to fix what he's altered, he only finds himself in a deeper mess.
Who would've known a direct-to-DVD sequel would rise another direct-to-DVD sequel? After all, these second-rate casts and second-rate scripts surely don't attract people into watching these movies...or do they? This third film in the Butterfly Effect franchise may not be as bad as you think, which is both encouraging and unfortunate, I suppose. The plot in here is actually good because it's different from the first two. The first film was a good movie by itself. The second was just like the first but on a much, much (much) smaller scale.
However, the third is quite different. In fact, unlike the first two films, there aren't many consequences here. The protagonist's life doesn't really change so much which is great, in my opinion, because there's no more repeat. The story, however, is more like a serial killer/Saw-type movie with very gruesome death scenes, one very random and quite graphic sex scene, and one jaw-dropping scene in the end that matches the second movie's "gay blow job" scene. There's also a very contrived twist ending that doesn't really blow your minds away because it's too contrived and trite like many twist endings that tries too hard to surprise people.
But other than that, the movie is interesting enough, on a very small level. The girls get all the eye candy they want from lead Chris Carmack while the guys get all the guts and gore in the death scenes. I also liked the end...very much, which is quite surprising (I'm not talking about the twist ending). For a direct-to-DVD threequal, the film is surprisingly decent, but that's not saying much because our expectations are just too low. The performances were decent and the end leaves you very satisfied, unlike the depressing ending from the first movie. If you're a fan of this series, go ahead and watch it. If not, don't bother wasting your time in a second-rate movie.
