Despite the fact this was a theatrical release, it is beyond my mental capabilities to visualise this on a big screen. You might as well ask me to imagine a Channel Awesome movie in IMAX. Bereft of redeeming features, save a few unintentional laughs at the expense of the creature designs rendered on Windows 98.

From poor writing to lackluster special effects, "A Sound of Thunder" has all the bases of awfulness covered.

Not an abysmal film, but definitely a snoozer of one. All of the acting, special effects, and directing fails to connect on both an emotional and an entertainment level, which is a shame, because it's based on a masterful book.

This movie is just bad. The acting is a joke, there are no likable characters and the special effects would make the sci-fi channel look good. This movie took a sorta neat idea smeared a whole bunch of stupid ides and bad dialogue onto it and called it a movie. Te title doesn't even make sense. A better title would have been Stupid bad butterfly effect knock off. Don't waste your time!

An insipid science-fiction adventure with plotholes that could swallow suns: the more primitive the world gets, the more cutting-edge the technology becomes; if they kept going back in time to the same spot, wouldn't they keep bumping into themselves? Wouldn't the butterfly have been completely obliterated by the volcano anyway? Everything is so expensive and important, yet they just couldn't handle the frozen nitrogen with more care. This isn't the kind of movie you tear apart at the seams, this doesn't need seams, it tears apart like wet paper and there were better special effects in The Birth of a Nation. Final Grade: D

Based on a great story, A Sound of Thunder fails in nearly every aspect: acting, dialogue, special effects all underwhelm. Skip this movie, stick to the original.
