At the risk of making an overly broad and limiting generalization, it's generally wise to make sure an action movie's plot has actually kicked into gear by the time the first hour has elapsed.
The barometer of the film's undoing is Burns's super low-key performance, which starts out as a poker-faced spoof on heroic cool, but takes a misstep more fatal than mere time-travel can undo.
So perfect in its awfulness, it makes one seriously consider a theory of unintelligent design.
The movie's most political aspect may be its quaint respect for the basic principles of evolution.
Many video games look more authentic than this.
An exciting, uneven thriller that explores the ripple effect of altering one tiny moment in the distant past.
Audience Reviews for A Sound of Thunder
Hilariously bad! Has some of the worst CGI effects I've ever seen and some animations are even repeated as if no one would notice. The people behind this movie obviously ran out of money. It's still watchable in a way though, as you have a good time mocking and laughing at all its sillyness. Do yourself a favour and watch The Butterfly Effect instead, which is based on the same concept, but is far more superior in every single aspect.
