Movie Reviews of A Sound of Thunder (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Thundering Approval
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is based on Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. I always liked the story, and came away with something different every time I read it. The movie, while it does not exactly match the story, as many movies don't, it is a wonderful expansion. The story is based on the idea of the butterfly effect, where the beat of a butterfly wing effects the future. Many other movies have worked with the idea,(Timeline, by Michael Crighton, The Butterfly Effect starring Aston Kutscher) but I think this is one of the best. Offering suspense, thrills and realistic characters, the plot moves along at a good pace. It is a movie that I have watched several times, and enjoyed each time. It has a little romance, time machines, caricature, monsters(both real and imagined), greed, paranoia, death and dying, but is not horrendously gory (I see this as a good thing!). Edward Norton is believable in his role as a scientist trying to correct a poor decision that changes evolution, and Ben Kinglsey plays a businessman looking only at the bottom line. Though not necessary, read the original short story first.
