The movie version of A Sound of Thunder has come out, and the reviews are absolutely hilariously bad. :D
I've really gotta see this.

"A Nifty Sci-fi Yarn Gone Terribly Wrong With Bizarre Technical Guffaws."
"As Ryer (Burns)...says, 'We have to make sure this never happens again.' We beg you."
"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."
"This picture achieves a level of badness that is its own form of sublimity."
" Little questions lead to big ones. Why am I here? When will this stop?"
"Edward Burns was an appropriate casting choice, since Bradbury often wrote about robots. "
"Our advice: Wait until it's on the Sci Fi Channel, and then watch something else."
"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."
"Watching A Sound of Thunder could possibly lower your IQ into the single digits."
"Kingsley proceeds through his scenes on autopilot, and Burns is the kind of actor you cast as the hero when a piece of wood is unavailable."
 
"Watching A Sound of Thunder could possibly lower your IQ into the single digits."
What would happen to somebody already in single digits?
-??
 
...Reverse effect?

Wow, I was actually expecting this movie to be good...
 
This sort of thing makes me seriously worried about venturing into the film business. The premise for that film actually sounds good... and it failed spectacularly.
 
How do you make a full-length film out of Sound of Thunder? :dozey:

Thats because the story by Ray Bradburry is a classic, and Bradburry is a genius. :D
Its just the people making the movie that are fools.
