Yes, it did suck. Vinnie Jones was the only person I remotely enjoyed watching, but probably only because he's so animated. The story was terrible, most of the acting was terrible, and I think I only felt satisfied when the bus driver exploded into several airbourne body parts.
Butterfly Effect is a poor comparison though. There's a growing number of peope out there who see BE as not involving time travel at all, but rather glimpses into the future from when he was a boy. In his "blackout" instances he's forming a decision on how to react based on how he feels his actions will affect his future. But that's a matter of point-of-view.
Anyway, I don't know why I even bother with time travel movies... the concept is overwhelmingly impossible and there has never been an accurate tale of what would happen if it WERE possible. You CAN'T change the past because that would change the present, and if the present is changed then you have no reason to change the past... INSTANT paradox.
Back To The Future is, and forever will be, the only decent time travel movie out there (and not because it made any sense, but because it was merely fun).
