Did they try to make the visual affects resemble a 1950's horror flick, or was the budget for this film really that low?! A pretty good story idea, killed by terrible acting and God awful visuals...... Full review

Deserves an F, but gets a D- for being unintentionally funny. The effects are SO BAD they are actually memorable. In over 30 or so years of watching movies, I've never seen one that made me say: Wow, this reminds me... Full review

This movie was a poorly done adaptation from Ray Bradbury's original story. The story is only loosely based on the original. Ben Kingsly has done much better work than the comical character he portrays here. The story has plot holes so... Full review

I will agree with some of the critics that the visuals were horrid. But is that all a sci fi movie should be based on? The plot was very interesting if you are into time travel movies.... Full review

Ray Bradbury is a great science fiction writer, and I happen to LOVE his story the Sound of Thunder. But this movie was absolutely a miserable waste of time. This has to be one of the worst screenplays of any moderate... Full review

OK, the screenplay does not have the Ray Bradbury original's philosophical depth and the special effects are a little shaky. But "A Sound of Thunder" has scary moments, a decent cast, and one of my favorite directors, Peter Hyams. It may... Full review

The special effects are somewhat fake, the story contains many flaws....The film can be treated like a pie, the crust is good, but the filling just doesn't taste right.....The film failed to convince me of the plausibility of most.... ... Full Review

But when you combine the illogic of time travel with a totally absurd action-adventure plot, the result is often something less than satisfactory.....To say that director Peter Hyams has done better work would be an understatement.....Unfortunately, Burns is the least-animated action hero in memory..... ...

So it goes with "A Sound of Thunder," based on the 1952 Bradbury short story.

The effects in A Sound of Thunder are bad, and don't help you want to look past the movie's other problems.
With less than stellar special effects, a plot with too many holes to count, and mediocre acting, A Sound of Thunder should be re-titled to A Sound of Wasted Time.

One of the most embarrassing aspects of A Sound of Thunder comes in the opening scene.
Instead we have quite a decent script delivered by the likes of Ben Kingsley (he was in Species , though, so let's not get too excited).
