	TheMovieBoy Review - A Sound of Thunder (2005)
		Filmed in 2002 and plagued by unmet release dates for the last year and a half, "A Sound of Thunder" is finally seeing the light of day during the first weekend in September, a notorious dumping ground for distributors' bastard stepchildren.
		Directed by Peter Hyams (2001's "The Musketeer"), "A Sound of Thunder" is a DOA dud of monstrous storytelling and nonexistent characterizations, a humiliating claptrap for all involved that looks as if it was made using the cheesiest of special effects available in 1971.
		The only sound of thunder destined to be heard will be audiences stampeding in droves out of the theater to escape sheer torture and misery.

		Thunder is the acoustic shock wave resulting from the extreme heat generated by a lightning flash.
		In addition, the temperature of the atmosphere affects the thunder sound you hear as well as how far away you can hear it.
		However, when the air temperature increases with height, called an inversion, sound waves are refracted (bent back toward the earth) as they move due to their faster motion in the warmer air.

	MovieFreak.com - "A Sound of Thunder" DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A Sound of Thunder is an utter failure.
		The only flaw can be found in the dialogue, which at times sounds a bit canned, as if the looping work wasn’t all it should have been.
		A Sound of Thunder is still an intriguing one, but the movie is done in by indifference and incompetence.

	A Sound of Thunder
		In A SOUND OF THUNDER, based on a short story by Ray Bradbury, director Peter Hyams (END OF DAYS, TIMECOP) creates a world where time travel is possible and life as we know it is threatened.
		A Sound of Thunder is worth noting, if only as a real contender for worst movie of the year.
		As a time-travel story, A Sound of Thunder doesn't exactly rewrite genre history; rather, it's an authentic blast from the past, an unpretentious B-movie.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Sound of Thunder,' smell of garbage - Sep 2, 2005
		Based on a story by renowned sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury, "A Sound of Thunder" has sat on a shelf at Warner Bros. (like CNN, a unit of Time Warner) gathering dust for two years -- and it should have stayed there.
		If the plot's execution isn't foolish enough, "A Sound of Thunder" also wins the award for the worst green-screen special effects ever put on film.

	GamingWorld X - A Sound of Thunder Preview
		With A Sound of Thunder, things are no different: in the year 2038, a cult called Global Entropy has discovered the means to go back into the prehistoric era, when dinosaurs walked the earth.
		Their goal is to stop the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs, thus leaving the world in a primitive state.
		Interestingly enough, the game is based on an upcoming movie which hasn’t been widely publicized (yet), which means that both game and film could have a few tricks up their sleeves that we haven’t seen yet.

	A Sound Of Thunder - Movie Review
		The best thing that can be said for the embarrassing A Sound of Thunder is that at least it presupposes an audience whose belief in evolution is ironclad, sadly a minor triumph in these increasingly Scopes monkey trial-like times.
		The past looks even worse – Spielberg can rest secure that all these years later, A Sound of Thunder is not going to be challenging Jurassic Park in the special-effects department.
		In his story, Bradbury describes time travel thusly: “There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame.” In the film, Burns shouts, “Don’t look at the light!” while subpar CGI effects rage around the time travelers.

	Review: A Sound Of Thunder - Cinematical
		It would be easy to say that A Sound Of Thunder lazily mimics the look of Steven Spielberg's Minority Report (2002), as it contains many of the same futuristic "Jetsons" trappings, but this film has been in the pipeline for nearly five years now.
		A series of setbacks, including a writers strike, the subsequent loss of their star, Pierce Brosnan, and then-director Renny Harlin being fired for wanting to take the future-altering dead butterfly out of the mix entirely delayed the movie, and has caused delays in its release a number of times over the last two years.
		In that respect, A Sound Of Thunder succeeds.

	SPLICEDwire \| "A Sound of Thunder" movie review (2005) "A Sound of Thunder" review, Peter Hyams, Edward Burns, Ben ...
		The Ray Bradbury short story "A Sound of Thunder," an unnerving morality tale about modern man's arrogant disregard for nature, ends with time-traveling dinosaur hunters returning to the future to discover that by stepping on a single butterfly, they've altered history inexorably.
		The sound effects are unintentionally funny (army boots walking on a liquidy surface make a clank-clank-clank sound), and the visuals effects even more so.
		These problems and the picture's endless parade of insipid clichés (a sassy computer called TAMI, an expendable cast member who sacrifices himself to save the stars from a gorilla-saur attack) might not matter so much if "A Sound of Thunder" was amusingly bad science fiction, like, say, "Battlefield Earth" or an Ed Wood movie.

		A Sound of Thunder is based on a Ray Bradury short story.
		Most of the profanity is covered over by the extremely loud sound track, but there are lots of obscenities and religious exclamations.
		Watch this movie with your friends and pretend its a TV episode, not a sci-fi blockbuster and just ignore its shortcommings, because even though the ideas were “Fururistic”, the execution was simply haphazard.
