A Sound of Thunder
This is the worst movie of the year. I haven’t even seen close to all of them, but as a person who saw every movie for 6 years, I know the worst movie of the year when I see it. It actually might not be the worst, this movie was made 2 years ago which is usually a bad sign, but there are about 5 other movies made two years ago coming out this year. I will saw thuis movie is pretty dumb, and not very attractive, but it was entertaining enough. I only checked my watched once and it didn’t hit boring. So why did I see it? I like the short story it’s based on a lot. I even thought it was what was meant by the butterfly effect when I first heard about that
Spoilers coming below:
What’s bad about it?
The CG effects look unfinished. I’m guessing they ran out of money (even though they filmed in the Czech Republic) and finally decided to just put what they had in theaters. Everything has a shiny untextured look, sometimes it has a bad frame-rate, and it’s some of the worst compositing I’ve seen in a movie since it was all done by hand before we had computers.I don’t even think tv shows had CG effects this bad.
The time-wave idea is pretty lame, especially the physically throwing you around part.
That apparently no one lives in this huge city. People would be all over the place trying to get out of there. There would be crashed cars, huge messes, which would make plenty for the babboon lizards to eat. Instead the poor things must have been starving!
You have guns that can bust up a statue but can’t hurt the babboon lizards?
Of course you have a chair sitting in your linear accelerator.
Who cares about Jenny? Travis is supposed to be looking out for her. Why? How does that change the movie at all?
Don’t see this movie, rent Jurassic Park and watch that again. Or maybe even Carnosaur so you get some campiness.
