Review – A Sound of Thunder

Monsters that are half gorilla and half velociraptor. Do I really need to say anything else about this? Though I’ve never read it, I expect the Ray Bradbury short that supposedly inspired this production had something going for it. However, whatever potential it might have packed is swiftly squandered on the usual combination of bad script, bad acting and bad production quality. At least half an hour of this show is so dark that it’s difficult – at times even impossible – to tell what’s going on. I suppose that saved them some money on special effects, but it didn’t help make the weak story line any easier to swallow. The plot puts a new twist or two on the whole traveling-back-in-time-and-changing-things-via-the-butterfly-effect thing, but otherwise this one’s missable. See if desperate
