A Sound Of Thunder (2004)


Just learned that this classic Ray Bradbury short story is in production, scheduled for release this year.
The good news is that Ben Kingsley is starring, the bad news is, Peter Hyams is directing.

I am looking forward to this also, hoping it's better than the disappointing Butterfly Effect.

However, one aspect of the film premise confuses me (which is entirely different than the short story). According to IMDB, when one of the time travellers accidently kills a butterfly a chain reaction is set off that erases humanity and they must prevent it. But if humanity is wiped out how would they be alive to travel back in time in the first place?

They probably became aware of this situation while traveling forward one Sunday afternoon.

It could make a great movie if done correctly. Being a fan of the short story, I friend gave me a copy of the story done for TV. It isn't bad, but does not do justice to the story.

Looks like a CGI-fest.

Looks like I shoulda hoped a little harder...this looks like a bad episode of "Walking with Dinosaurs"! How come after more than ten years "Jurassic Park" is STILL the only dinosaur flick to do it right? (AND realistically...)

I bet that the PS2 version has better graphics.
