    Mini Collab with fellow time jumper, Slay. I really do feel for Peter Hyams when it comes to the absolute nightmare of a production he had on A Sound of Thunder, a massively slashed budget, heavy flooding destroying sets and being forced to shoot everything on a greenscreen, ultimately stifling his creativity. What seemed like a good idea on paper goes woefully undeveloped and poorly realised. The film doesn’t exactly rewrite genre history; a catastrophe of bad acting, ludicrous science and horrifically shoddy special effects that can’t even follow its own internal logic from one scene to the next. Hyams’ usual excellent direction feels massively paired down. Still, occasional flashes of his usual quality almost break through the ugly CG…

    I can’t believe that they had the balls to release this turd in theatres, especially after the hellish production it went through. First, filming was delayed due to severe floods that caused considerable damage to the set, as well as the original production company going bankrupt during post and there was not nearly enough money to finish the movie, resulting it to be shelved for several years. In that case, you think that they’d just cut their losses and fucking abandon it or maybe just finish it and quietly release it straight-to-video but nope, theatrical run, let’s serve up the fucking slop to the public. Some of the worst CGI & VFX I have ever seen in a film. Total top-to-bottom fucking garbage. I do recommend that you watch this though, just once, to see how filmmaking can go terribly wrong. 🚆💺⏰🌄🦖🔫🥾🦋⏱️🌊🐒🦎

    “Last wave changes the last species to evolve, homo sapiens.” Homo Sapiens have been on earth for about 250k years, give or take a few millennia. At no point has evolution stopped on earth since we arrived.

    I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. This is the third time I’ve watched A Sound of Thunder in the last decade. I guess I just keep expecting it to be better than it really is. I mean, how can a movie with dinosaurs, mutant gorillas, man-eating plants and time-travel be this lame…? I don’t get it.

    Uma das poucas histórias preocupadas com os mínimos detalhes de viagem no tempo. A produção é precária, há a presença de alguns rostos conhecidos e um roteiro que merece uma refilmagem urgente. O filme trabalha com o princípio de incerteza de Heisenberg, um dos pilares conceituais da física quântica. A grosso modo, é a impossibilidade de garantir a exatidão absoluta num ato que se repete inúmeras vezes. Interessante a correção do tempo através de ondas temporais.

    As a Peter Hyams evangelical I’d love to be able to reclaim this from its status as a notorious flop but the VFX here are just mind-bogglingly awful, an early experiment in doing pretty much all the action sequences of a film in arguably unfinished CGI, and it’s just impossible to see it as a true advancement over the old techniques (perhaps we fucked up and smashed a butterfly we weren’t supposed to somewhere back there?). Bradbury’s short story is one of those perfect objects that you can read once and then remember for the rest of your life, and a film version by Hyams is a good idea in theory, but this simply doesn’t work at all. Some cool creature designs though, I especially like the dino-baboons who kill David Oyelowo.

    Action! – The Unlikely Rumble: Hill v Hyams As appears to be frequent with these directors of bygone eras who manage to make films into the new millennium, the quality tends to fade, and thus far the 2000’s have not been kind to our buddy Hyams, whose current work has seen his films being lambasted by critics, with his latest films sliding to the appalling 11 percent and below on Rotten Tomatoes. To be honest, this flick isn’t all that terrible. Indeed, the visual effects are largely awful, the cinematography has this cheapening quality that makes it appear nearly like something out of Syfy, and the plot is rather muddled. However, seeing it as a special (and bad) episode of,…

    Surprisingly not the worst or most embarrassing thing Franchise Pictures produced. They produced Battlefield Earth. Gotta love how a movie about time travel and dinosaurs was more about mutated mandrills than anything else. The vfx had me crying. You can see the green screen behind them including the city scenes. $88 million. 88 million to have your dinosaur showpiece scene(shown multiple times) look like it was a cut scene from a 90s video game. Jurassic Park was 12 years earlier and made with $63 million. It made 1.9 million domestically at the box office and 11.6 worldwide. Director Peter Hyams second movie about time travel, 1994 Timecop staring Jean Claude van Damme. Hyams would go on to direct van Damme two more times, Sudden Death and Enemies Closer. Because on this account I make the atrociously bad time travel dinosaur movie all about Jean Claude van Damme.

    La sinópsis suena súper interesante, pero la película falla en muchas cosas. Independientemente de los efectos especiales, el principal problema es la escritura poco profunda e infantil; además, hay un exceso de cosas innecesarias que no hacen mucha diferencia (como por ejemplo las hormigas gigantes, que sólo aparecen un minuto y nunca más). Es una película que además se siente muy lenta, y que simplemente quiso ser demasiado para su tiempo 💔

    Evil capitalist overlords accidentally creating the monkey-saurus is very up my alley! So is idiot science about time waves and evolution. Edward Burns remains a poor man’s Ben Affleck, which makes him preferable to real Ben. But perhaps nothing is finer than Sir Ben Kingsley’s beautiful (and sometimes tall) white hair (and matching soul patch). It feels like I watched this movie every Sunday afternoon on SyFy twenty years ago. It was probably more like 5x over a year. But…

    Ray Bradbury ha estado un pelín inquieto en su tumba al percibir como se usaba su relato para semejante despropósito. Pero solo un pelín, ojo, porque al final la historia y la vida se han cobrado las multas necesarias y su elenco protagonista (incluido el tupé de Kingsley) ya han desaparecido del panorama. Su director, otrora prometedor, no volvió a levantar cabeza. Y el imaginario colectivo nunca le dio ni el más mínimo hueco a esta peli. Poco en ella…

    Given the troubled production, you’d ideally want to approach this with some emotional generosity and not place too much emphasis on the abysmal VFX – placeholder renders of creatures that visibly hover above the ground they’re supposed to be walking on, backgrounds that look like SimCity 2000 opening cinematics, Windows Movie Maker earthquake and distortion effects, sub-Channel Awesome greenscreen work – but then the script makes matters even worse by dropping lines about homo sapiens being “the last species to evolve,” acting…

Oui le CGI est particulierement affreuse a regarder faisant perdre des points a ce film mais son idee et son concept sauve tout. C’est franchement une oeuvre qui meriterait un remake avec la technologie d’aujourd’hui.

    Legitimately horrible, but in an oddly charming sort-of clueless way. Like when you see an action figure at a Dollar Tree that’s called the Indelible Bulk or Echolocation-Themed Hero. As a wee lad, my first exposure to this was when my family went to go see The Work and the Glory, which is an LDS movie. It was huge coup to see such a niche movie in our local movie theater, so our entire congregation was there for the premiere.…

    This is a tough one because the story is just so good – the book is great – but the movie is so poorly put together with what looks like a super low budget. I mean really, super bad effects and comically bad CGI and green screen scenes. But I LOVE Ray Bradbury stories – they are some of my favorite reads, and the movie does at least tell the story so gets this fairly favorable rating based on that.

    There’s a lot wrong with this, and even though you can’t really help the studio basically going bust before they completed post-production, A Sound of Thunder is still awful. The budget problems means the effects look cheap and very nasty, but even looking past that, the rest of the movie is a bit of a mess beyond salvaging. At least a very Bob Barker looking Ben Kingsley seemed to be having fun.

    Suspense Thriller based on the famous short story by master of fiction Ray Bradbury. In the year 2055, a technology has been invented that enables people to go back in time to hunt dinosaurs. When one such expedition to the Prehistoric past unwittingly makes a fatal mistake it dramatically impacts the course of evolution, setting off waves of destruction that ripple toward the modern world and unleashing an army of fearsome creatures that never should have existed. Two scientists race against time to fix the catastrophic error while their world collapses around them and every minute brings the human race closer to extinction.

    I wish Hyams had gotten the full $80 million budget he was promised to finish the film he wanted, but alas, this is what we have. And it’s not half-bad either. Mostly the half-finished VFX is what drags this down but it doesn’t totally take out of what’s happening in the film. It’s just a little disappointing that Hyams signature lighting is almost non-existent except for maybe one or two scenes. Ben Kingsley has the stand out performance here, he…

    80 million dollar shit fi channel movie. Production wise this is on par with Jack Frost 2 and somehow cost like ten million more (adjusted to inflation) than 2001 A Space Odyssey. Watched this because I played the GBA game, not knowing it was based on a movie. Wish I never would’ve knew. Can they go back in time to stop me from emulating it in the first place?

    „Haben wir irgendetwas verändert?“ ​Es ist fast schon jämmerlich, wie man aus der brillanten Prämisse des Schmetterlingseffekts einen derart belanglosen Unsinn fabrizieren kann. Wer auch immer diese visuellen Effekte abgenickt hat, sollte lebenslanges Berufsverbot erhalten.

    Happened accidental Time travelling day in movies. There are some really nice ideas. The world being so destroyed you can see lions only as holograms, or time travel dinosaur hunt being a rich people’s entertainment. And all these monster designs like monster baboons, water beasts, giant bats. But the movie feels so undeveloped with really cliche ways and overexplaining the thing going on… It was still a fun watch, but it’s one of those movies which deserve a remake that would make it all look better.

    From our “Terrible Movies” series, this is (very loosely) based on a Ray Bradbury short story about time travel. Ed Burns, a good supporting actor in much better movies, seems to have been hired here as sort of a poor men’s Ben Affleck, and he makes Affleck look like a master of portraying emotions. He plays the leader of “safaris” of rich people who go back in time to hunt dinosaurs (who would have died seconds later anyway, so time…

    Ik weet niet wat ik enger vind: de plastic dinosaurus, de schrikbarend amateuristische groene schermen, het afgeraffelde en met plotgaten gevulde verhaal, Sonia Rands “evolutie” naar een groot grijs monster of het doodse spel van Edward Burns. Ik kies ze allemaal.

    A criatividade humana elevada a décima potencia, falando sobre o efeito borboleta pasmem com a morte de uma, que uma onda temporal deve ser literalmente uma onda, e que tudo pode ser resolvido obviamente voltando no tempo. Furos que eu vi no filme, como eles voltam sempre o mesmo momento todo dia, e não encontram sua versão do passado que estaria fazendo a mesma ação? Sendo que é assim que funciona no último ato, pq a morte da borboleta apenas…

    I’m gonna say this and say this once this movie was straight ass I’m so sorry and to think that the director of this movie wasted a talent like Academy Award Winner Ben Kingsley in this movie is crazy af. The visual effects and the cgi were laughably bad, the acting was poor and the pacing was all over the place. I gotta say this movie unintentionally made me laugh my ass off.

    O que falar de um filme que se propõe a viajar no tempo para realizar um safari, a ideia é muito ridícula e por isso mesmo é bem crível que de fato isso fosse ser uma ideia verdadeira na realidade. Apesar da ideia, o filme executa da maneira mais genérica possível, é legal quando extrapolam a cadeia evolutiva e acabam tendo que enfrentar babuínossauros, mas o filme inteiro é bem óbvio desde o começo. Enfim, um filme já feito.

    This is a first draft. This film is still being developed and thus should not be viewed by an audience. That’s the only explanation for the editing that does not occur and the effects that are clearly placeholder for something much more spectacular and believable in this movie. I also love that the poster/promo art for the film make it seem like a creepy psychological horror movie and not a time-traveling, bafflingly convoluted mess like it is. The fact that…

    For HDTGM. I really can’t fathom how this film cost $80M in 2005 money. None of the effects —and I mean truly none—look good. It’s incredible that it was released at all, but I heard on the podcast that they had a clause that forced them to release the film. I was sad to read that Peter Hyams spent three years working on editing this film together. There was really nothing that could be done to fix the botched visuals…
