Good idea unsuccessfully realised with Ed Burns doing his best.

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

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.

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

So perfect in its awfulness, it makes one seriously consider a theory of unintelligent design.

| Original Score: F | Sep 7, 2005

The movie's most political aspect may be its quaint respect for the basic principles of evolution.

Many video games look more authentic than this.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 2, 2005

An exciting, uneven thriller that explores the ripple effect of altering one tiny moment in the distant past.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

If movies have personalities, this one has an appealing one, combining scientific inquisitiveness with giddy pleasure in creating tension for viewers.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2005

The filmmakers of A Sound of Thunder, like a T. rex with indigestion, have simply bitten off more than they could chew.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2005

The dialogue strives for witty banter, but most laughs are unintentional.

| Original Score: D- | Sep 2, 2005

Watching A Sound of Thunder could possibly lower your IQ into the single digits.

| Sep 2, 2005

A Sound of Thunder looks cobbled together from a half-baked screenplay and underdone special effects, but it's made with a certain heedless zeal that makes you smile if you're in tune with it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2005

A work of unintelligent design.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

On the evolutionary scale, this B-movie misfire hovers pretty close to amoeba status.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

The Ed Burns time-travel flick A Sound of Thunder takes us back 65 million years, to approximately the last moment when anyone still thought Ed Burns was talented.

One wonders why Hollywood is so determined to churn out outlandish tales of manufactured peril when the real world is scary enough.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 1, 2005

This picture achieves a level of badness that is its own form of sublimity.

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

A Sound of Thunder is worth noting, if only as a real contender for worst movie of the year.

The most remarkable special effect is Ben Kingsley's hair, a thick thatch so white it almost glows in the dark and a little white soul patch under his lip. Now that's scary.
