I downloaded this from the Internet and hoping to find another decent movie just like Memento, Identity, The Truman Show, and of course, the mighty Butterfly Effects. It seemed very intriguing in the trailer and it's ranked so high on Top 250，that I was finally brought into by its hype. What a terrible waste of time and money!!!! Avoid this movie by all means.

The beginning was a little boring, but I didn't mind because that's what the fore-mentioned "great" movies are, you wouldn't get the plot and enjoyment out of it till the very end. When Joel wanted his memory to be erased, I'm sensing a little excitement and hope this fun ride would last for the rest of the film. And of course, they might add in a twist, such as "Clem was a split personality created by Joel in his rather boring life" and whatnot. However, this movie started to focus on the boring fact that Joel tried to protect his memory from being erased, in an extremely mundane manner. Very boring. And what's with the subplot, those technicians making love and swilling during the erasure, it added nothing but length. At about 50 mins into this film, I was already getting edgy, hoping to turn it off. At least add something interesting into it. That's what Butterfly did. First it was plain boring with a series of disjointed scenes, and it started to make sense when Evan traveled back in time. But in this one, just had the disjointed scenes overused!!!!!All the time it was the mysterious disjointed scenes without a clue added to them. As with the ending, I have to say. Worst ending ever! That's even worst because there are great movies with bad endings(ie The Deparetd, Good Will Hunting)but this ending didn't seem like one. It was so out of the blue, and I was left perplexed, where the hell was the conclusion? I've never understood what happened in the end. Did Joel and Clem finally got together or what? I had no interest in it whatsoever, since the storyline itself was very weak and unconvincing. It was like a movie version of Lost, but getting worse watching gradually. Unlike Memento, it left no clue, why all these phony mysteries if no clues attached?

In short, this is a bad bad bad bad film. Don't watch it. Don't waste your time and money. If you are watching it for JIM CARRey, watch the Truman Show instead, that will blow this away. Even Titanic is better than this piece of junk.

I hope it will sink out of Top 250 one day. Lost a lot of respect for IMDb's credibility.
