A Sound of Thunder
www.asoundofthunder.com
Anybody heard of this film? I know its a film about some future game hunter sent back to the past to hunt dinosaurs but one of them accidently step on a butterfly and thus setting off a ripple effect that change the future.
But.....my question, if a butterfly can cause a ripple effect that mess up the future, how the heck can they go hunting for a dinosaur??? Anyone??

I dunno if I liked the trailer.. I mean the effects and even the acting seemed good but the premise for the story and all that, in the trailer anyway, just seems kind of dumb. But the explination of the short story makes it sound a lot better... but they just didn't get that point across in the trailer. I think they need to make a new one

Matt, I get the comment's point, but wasn't The Butterfly Effect the one ripping off Bradbury?
Hell, there are references towards Bradbury in the film (such as the name of the college that Evan attended).And I'm not seeing Sound of Thunder for the following reasons: Peter Hyams. That man even gives Paul W.S. Anderson the chills.

Seriously though, he did put up the money to make The Monster Squad, so...

I do agree that the effects leave something to be desired, but for a popcorn flick it should be ok. Everything can't be Jurassic Park. And most movies nowadays have been done in some form before, it's just fun seeing a different take on it.

I saw this at a test screening back in November. Cheesy, but I enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for 'end of the world' scenario films.
The effects weren't complete, and I really hope they work on that dinosaur. It looked like they stole it from the show "Sliders". *Shudder*

The effects in the trailer were atrocious. However, I'm looking forward to this flick...have been since I first saw the trailer at least a year ago. I don't think Peter Hyams is a great director (rent an extra light kit, man!), but I enjoy his flicks, they have a cheesy likeability to them.
Labor Day weekend though, that is a ticket to $50 in BO.
