A Sound of Thunder
Released: 2005
Sci-fi
Director: Peter Hyams
Starring: Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley
Running Time: 110 minutes
Rated: PG-13
The breakdown: A researcher and a scientist try to save humanity after a time travel jump goes wrong.
The movie was based on a short story by Ray Bradbury. I'm sure the short story was good, but the movie was atrocious.
Basically in the future, there's a company that allows people to go on a hunting trip 65 million years into the past to shoot down a T-Rex. The participants are informed to not touch anything or go off the path or else they might change something that effects the future.
Of course, an idiot jerk does something and things start to change when the team returns to their normal time.
A scientist and a researcher that leads the safari trips team up to try to go back and fix whatever went wrong, once they figure out what that thing is.
The special effects were completely not special, and instead laughably bad. A short story was obviously stretched to try to fill in almost two hours when their simply wasn't enough material for it. That's why in this movie you end up with half dinosaur, half monkey beings.
Trust me, you want to skip this one altogether.
1 out of 5 for having Ed Burns take off his shirt.
