However, this so-called official sequel, which has replaced the director, scriptwriter and the entire actor team, is far less thought-provoking than its predecessor in terms of plot structure and theme mining. The only thing in common is the hero's ability and desire to travel through time and space to change into an established reality. The thin story frame causes the lack of persuasiveness of human experience, and it is difficult to resonate with the audience. To a greater extent, it is more like an escape from real life. And if the screenwriter’s intention is to express the various pressures and problems that modern people need to face and the yearning for a utopian life, even so, in order to avoid (or escape) the occurrence of various problems in life, When time goes back to a time before it happened, the cost seems a bit outweighed.
The only thing about it is that the appearances of the starring actors in the film are pretty eye-catching. Dressing and entering and exiting places can also be classified as fashion. But these factors alone are far from saving a script that seems to be too poor for a soap opera like sex and the city.
The DVD9 version I received is not bad, and there are about six or seven trailers of last year's fine movies attached before. It may be a promotional tool to make people subconsciously look forward to the official debut of Butterfly Effect 2 after earning enough attention. However, only disappointment came in return.
