Evan Treborn is a kid with a mental disorder: sometimes he gets black-outs and loses all memories of what just happened. The school psychologist suggests keeping a journal, sort of as a way to map out his thoughts and see if they might be able to find out what happens in the periods when Evan 'loses the time'. He keeps getting the black-outs though, and they never find out what happened in those moments because nobody wants to talk about it. Aparently some very bad things happened.
Later, as a college student, studying psychology, he learns that his father, who lives in a mental institution, had the same illness and found a way to re-learn his memories. Eventually Evan also knows how to re-live those moments during his black-outs, and finds out that he can change things in the past!
But every time he is changing things that happened in the past, everything changes in the future, and most of the changes aren't good. When talking to his father about his ability to change things, his dad tells him that he did the same, and that it's dangerous to play God. He also tells him that it is impossible to make everything perfect, but Evan keeps on trying.
I don't want to tell more about the story, you should really see the movie! It's very very good, and it's stunning how good Ashton Kutcher can act. You've got to see this one!
I give this movie 4 1/2 stars out of 5!
My homie hooks this up with 4 stars out of 5!
Reason: Ashton does a great job in this film. It shows a lot of his different looks; scruffy Ashton, preppy Ashton, somewhere in between Ashton. The story, however, is along the lines of almost every space-time continuum movie that you ever see; meaning if you change something in the past, the future is almost always doomed. Still, it's very enjoyable to watch.
