Review: A Sound of Thunder
Well, this sound of thunder is just pretty tiny burp, without any lightning for the extra effect. A mix of Jurassic Park and The Time Machine, it had potential. With $80 million in the pocket, the means is there to realise it. However, without a big studio backing it, somehow, all the money drained through a black hole somehow. The special effects are too obvious, and not even worthy of a high quality TV series. The story is not shocking, nor surprising. The acting floats around the mediocre mark.
Hence, it’s no wonder the movie was hidden in the closet for so long (originally to be released in 2002/2003). It might have been better to burn down the closet.5-.
