Gale has fashioned a spare but powerful tale that thrusts the
indignities of slavery and the stupidity of racism out of the murky
18th century and into the here and now.--Martin Morrow, "Calgary
Herald"
Big-budget remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien
and a giant robot who visit Earth. Keanu Reeves stars as Klaatu,
the inhabitant of a flying saucer that lands in Washington DC after
orbiting Earth. Along with Gort, his indestructible robot
companion, Klaatu sets out to discover all he can about this
strange planet and its peculiar inhabitants. Along the way he meets
Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her son Jacob (Jaden Smith),
who become his only real friends and end up saving his life. Kathy
Bates and John Cleese co-star.
All three films in the psychological sci-fi thriller franchise. In
'The Butterfly Effect (2004), Ashton Kutcher stars as Evan Treborn,
a young man who, from an early age, has struggled with his
disturbing childhood memories. As a boy, Evan was encouraged by a
psychologist to keep a journal detailing the events of his
day-to-day life, and now, as a young adult, he revisits these
journals to figure out the truth about events that ended in tragedy
for his childhood friends Lenny (Elden Henson) and Tommy (William
Lee Scott), and the childhood sweetheart Kayleigh (Amy Smart) with
whom he is still in love. After making the incredible discovery
that he can use the notebooks as a vehicle enabling him to journey
back into the past so that his adult mind occupies the body of his
childhood self, he begins a series of attempts to redirect history
with the aim of saving his friends and loved ones from the traumas
that have befallen them. But every time Evan changes something in
the past, however small, he finds when he returns to the present
that his actions have had unexpected and disastrous consequences.
In the action-packed sequel, Nick (Eric Lively) and Julie (Erica
Durance) are deeply in love, but when Julie dies in a tragic car
accident, Nick isn't willing to say goodbye to his soulmate without
a fight. Soon discovering that he has the ability to travel into
the past to a point before the time of Julie's untimely death, Nick
struggles to find a means of saving his one true love despite the
increasingly troubling results that his well-intended heroics seem
to have on the future. Finally, in 'The Butterfly Effect 3' (2009),
Sam Reide (Chris Carmack) has the ability to jump through time,
helping police to identify killers. But after agreeing to help an
old friend track down her sister's murderer, Sam breaks his golden
rule of non-interference with history, and consequently discovers
that his actions have created a terrifying serial killer. As the
grizzly headcount rises with each passing day, it's now up to Sam
to revisit the past in an effort to identify the murderer before he
strikes again.
