A Sound of Thunder Reviews

This film deserves a gold plaque in the plague of summer stink bombs. . .

| Aug 24, 2017

Based on the Ray Bradbury short story of the same name, this is a colassal disapopintment - unworthy of the memorable source material.

| May 12, 2009

The special effects are on par with a basic film you'd see about a giant squid on the Sci-Fi Channel, and the story is just as boring.

The film is full of rumbling sounds that will make your innards tremble (at least in some theaters). But that's about all it has going for it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 11, 2006

Good idea unsuccessfully realised with Ed Burns doing his best.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2006

A catastrophe of bad acting, ludicrous science and conspicuously cheap special effects that can't even follow its own internal logic from one scene to the next.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | May 26, 2006

A remarkably bad film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2006

There's plenty of room to poke holes in the premise, but folks willing to suspend disbelief can still have a good time.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2006

About the best that can be said for it is that it might be appreciated ages hence as purest camp. Frankly, I'm not willing to wait around long enough to find out.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 27, 2006

As a time-travel story, A Sound of Thunder doesn't exactly rewrite genre history; rather, it's an authentic blast from the past, an unpretentious B-movie.

A interessantssima premissa desperdiada pelo roteiro capenga, as atuaes sem vida, os efeitos visuais constrangedores e pela direo surpreendentemente amadora de Hyams.

Is A Sound of Thunder a great movie? Not even close.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 1, 2006

This film will be a real disappointment for its lack of logic and even the misunderstanding of the original story.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 12, 2005

Ed Burns, Catherine McCormack and Ben Kingsley aren't aiming for Oscars, or even accolades, with their performances, but their choices make this over-budgeted B-movie fun to watch.

| Oct 6, 2005

Lobotomized from a Ray Bradbury short story, A Sound of Thunder stars Edward Burns as a scientist (insert raucous laughter here)...

Full Review | Sep 29, 2005

At the risk of making an overly broad and limiting generalization, it's generally wise to make sure an action movie's plot has actually kicked into gear by the time the first hour has elapsed.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2005

It's somehow refreshing to know that the spirit, if not the flesh, of Edward D. Wood Jr. lives on.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 24, 2005

Bradbury-inspired time-travel sci-fi flick is bad, boring and bland -- in every possible way.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 15, 2005

There's very little in this Jurassic dork of a movie that works.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 13, 2005

I do not think science works the way they think it works.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 10, 2005
