Wordiezett So much average

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Finfrosk86 What the hell is happening with this movie?!Alright, time travel! I love it. Super poor cg-effects? not so much.Let me break it down for ya real quick! A Sound of Thunder has kind of a decent story, it's almost original, not a too shabby take on time travel. Mixed with some Total Recall, and a little sprinkle of Jurassic Park. Ish.Here is the movies main problem. Horrible special effects. Now, I don't use words like horrible when describing special effect too often. I got thick skin when it comes to CG. But here? Oh my. There's some painful green screen here. The movie is set in the future, so when they are walking in the streets, backgrounds and cars are CG. And not in a good way. It's like TV-movie quality.Also some of the acting is pretty bad. But again the real problem is the CG, and special effects in general, damn. They are badly directed and badly made. It looks really low budget, but according to IMDb it's in the 50 mill range, so they really should be better.I think the director is just too old, and inexperienced with CG, thats my theory. But aside from the very bad CG effects, this is not that bad a movie. Got some good ideas.

solvielisabetarson This movie is what Olympus was to the ancient Greeks as it is to us. The actors deliver stunning performances, the cinematography is revolutionary, the CGI is completely bonkers m8. The story follows a brave man, who sets out into the past to discover greatness. Out of the blue, he strays off the path and causes a chain of events that will alter the face of humanity in disastrous ways. Probably the best part of this movie is the stellar performance delivered by Ben Kingsley. Good ol' Ben hasn't been this good since his amazing acting work done in Schindler's List (also one of the most thought provoking films of our time), but in A Sound of Thunder he completely destroys the scene. Another thing of the movie, the CGI done in this masterpiece is exactly that, a masterpiece. What man has longed for since the invention of fire, the longing of greatness, for man to be as a God. That has been done with this film's CGI work. The backgrounds are intense, you get sucked into it as if you're there, inside the vast world of this film. Computers are brought to life through detailed computer animation, which rivals even the practical effects of Stanley Kubrick.I have seen films with good plot, but this one takes the case. Oh boy! Oh golly! This film kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. The plot is intense and realistic. The characters are tested and true intentions are brought out into the light. Relationships are tested and broken, strained and refined. Who is a true friend and who is a distasteful enemy? You decide."That'll do, Donkey. That'll do." - Shrek, 2001.

sukhan-22-768673 My goodness what a disappointment! Even with a low budget one can make a good scifi or time travel movie if the plot is intelligent and the actors are convincing. None of this is the case with this sad piece of wasted time. The actors apparently are only in it for the money; particularly Ben Kingsley acts so mechanical, bored and not connected to his role that one can feel how much he hated his job(and himself, probably, for having to make a buck by playing in this movie). The CGI is so poor that one wonders if it is due to the lack of money for special fx or because of the incapability of the CGI designers. The plot.... what could be a good idea is completely wasted in the ever growing paltriness of the effects and the ridiculous CGI-generated characters (a dim rip-off of Jurassic parc characters). The time travel issue is merely a pretense for silly chases and bad acting. Apart from few minutes in the beginning, the entire movie displays the lack of money and the un-inspiredness of playwrights and director. I didn't even watch the movie to the end. Summary: Waste of time.

AaronCapenBanner Based on the late Ray Bradbury's short story of a time-travel big-game hunting business that has some unfortunate effects on time itself, is adapted poorly here, with only co-star(and former Academy Award winner) Ben Kingsly giving a fine performance, as the head of the company behind the time-travel excursions of "time tourists", who want to hunt and kill dinosaurs(!) but instead quite literally prove the "Butterfly Effect", that is if you change one thing in the past, everything changes. That is certainly demonstrated here! Pity this film is so illogical, both within conventional time-travel theory, but even within itself. How can they keep going back to the same point in time, and not encounter themselves, since the dinosaur kill is a fixed point in time? Yet, the whole premise of the film has them frantically trying to do just that, in order to put things back to normal, and restore their time line! It makes no sense. Substandard F/X as well, since this sat on the shelf unfinished for years after the production company went bankrupt!
