AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...sorry.

I do miss the days of PlayUSA.com. How they could always lure me in to paying 18 quid for such unheard of and mysterious turkeys such as this.

So here we have A Sound of Thunder...loosely based on a short story. Very, VERY loosely.

A time safari team balls up a trip and change the future by altering the past...though this does not happen in one go but in TIME WAVES (obviously). So we have the team try to solve the snafu before a time wave deletes us from history! Simple!

First thing to mention is the FX....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...there I go again...my word they are terrible. I mean, terrible enough that if they went to a school for FX then…

Als dieser Film angekündigt wurde, klang er eigentlich nach einem ziemlich interessantem Projekt. Das Budget würde sicher hoch genug sein und mit Ben Kingsley war ein bekannter Name vertreten. Und vor allem: Es sollte um Dinos und Zeitreisen gehen - konnte da etwas schief gehen?! Oh ja, es konnte... und wie! Die Effekte sind dermaßen grottig, dass man sich fragt, ob Jurassic Park tatsächlich schon über ein Jahrzehnt zuvor entstanden ist. Und nicht nur die 3-4 peinlichen CGI-Wesen verunsichern den tapferen Zuschauer, sondern selbst einfache Bluescreen-Techniken wirken wie aus einem Amateurfilm - das "futuristische" New York im Hintergrund bringt einen nur zum lachen. Hat man nach der Hälfte der Produktion kein Geld mehr gehabt? Und dann die Schauspieler, die entweder…

One time, not so long ago, I was stuck in a seedy motel in West Hollywood because of a reservation error at my "real" hotel. My room smelled (or reeked) of curry spices and was located in precisely the right spot to not be able to access the motel's free wifi.

I turned the tv on, took out my laptop, and continued working on my current business project. HBO? Cinemax? Not sure what channel it was, but this movie was just about to start. I pull out my phone and quickly Google it- after all it seems like it's going to be interesting.

I'm not sure of when the last time was I witnessed an $80 million train wreck, but…

Puedo admitir que los cromas aquí son algo chapuceros (uno hilariante es aquel en el que Ed Burns y su compi caminan de frente: El fondo parece moverse más rápido que sus pies) y, en fin, que anda justita de fuerzas y no aguardan sorpresas (salvo un esforzado set-piece dentro de un vagón progresivamente inundado), pero criticar esta estimable cinta por el maravilloso peinado de Ben Kingsley (un instante en su carrera en el que parecía anunciarse un giro a lo Cage) es otra muestra de escaso sentido del humor por parte del crítico medio, que la vapuleó sin piedad cuando se estrenó. Recuerdo el querer ir a verla cuando tenía 18 años, y no he saciado ese deseo hasta…
