Review of A Sound of Thunder

A Sound of Thunder is not the worst movie I have ever seen...I dont think at least. This movie had many bad effects and a lot of bad dialogue but maybe that's what's so great about it. If you go into watching this movie being too serious about it I guarantee that you won't enjoy it. But if you watch this movie without being too concerned about good special effects and amazing acting or even maybe watching it with the intent of laughing at it, there's a big chance you will enjoy watching A Sound of Thunder. A Sound of Thunder is a sci-fi thriller about the dangers of going back in time and accidentally changing the future based on the short story by Ray bradburry Directed by Peter hyams made in 2005 starring Edward Burns, Catherine mcCormack, Ben Kingsley, Heike makatsch, and David oyelowo. The ratings on this movie are very much all over the place. some people absolutely hate this movie, some agree it's bad but still enjoyed it and some people absolutely love it even with its cheesy dialogue and bad effects. In A Sound of Thunder one of the main characters, Travis (edward burns) works at a time travel safari company for Charles Hatton (Ben kingsley) where they take people back in time to hunt a dinosaur for 10,000 dollars. but one day something goes wrong and changes the future.Then throughout a few days multiple "time waves" come and change the earth more and more every time. with the last "time wave" resulting in humans never existing. so the main characters are on a mission to stop it and save the human race. I am really interested in the whole idea behind the movie which is "the butterfly effect". "the butterfly effect" is the idea that if time travel was possible someone could go back in time and anything they do could change a lot about the present and future. There have been many movies using this theory but i dont think a lot of them make complete sense. There are a lot of loopholes with time travel and it's hard to make sense of a lot of them but I guess this is just an idea created by the human mind so who's to say what's "right" and "wrong" about time travel movies. Therefore, A sound of thunder is an interesting movie that can be enjoyed by anyone with the right mindset while watching it. I recommend reading the short story first, the short story by ray bradbury will give you some more understanding before watching the movie. and many people may argue the short story is better than the movie.i think the biggest difference between the short story and the movie is the ending. i think the ending in the short story is way more interesting. Yes, this movie doesn't have the best acting or dialogue or effects but it still can be a very enjoyable movie and I do recommend watching it.
