A sound Of Thunder?
Where is the DVD news for "A Sound Of Thunder"? I mean they haven't announced a release date, extras, or anything. I mean the movie came out at the beginning of September. If anybody knows anything about the DVD, please post.

It's not too often a big budget sci-fi film earns a whopping 1.7 million at the box office. Even if it really bombs! I know, it was basically dumped in theaters, but there was a reason.
I saw the film at a test screening a year ago, and while not terrible, it certainly isn't all that good. The effects are lousy, but I didn't really care about that. It seems that most people absolutely detested this film. I actually didn't hate it, but I do have a soft spot for time travel stories (ala Back to the Future 2, Butterfly Effect) in which people screw things up. I just find it to be a fun concept.
This movie could have been a lot better, but it's not as awful as everyone was saying (in my opinion, of course).

I LOVED the concept. Thought it was a great premise for a movie...but the execution is laughable. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Peter Hyams needs to have his DGA card taken away after this one... I can't even recommend a rental on this baby.

This is my favorite (and I mean FAVORITE) Ray Bradbury story.
What they did to this story is criminal. The Simpsons showed the story much more respect.

I watched it last night. The CGI is pretty bad for a professional Hollywood feature, the science is COMPLETELY ridiculous, and the acting is mediocre at best. I wanted to like the movie (the premise from the Bradbury story is great), but it fails miserably.
