A Sound of Thunder
anyone hear about this movie it seems intresting with edward burns and ben kingsley. here is the online synopsis.
In the not too distant future, scientist Travis Ryer finances his research in the potentials of time travel technology by leading expeditions of burned-out billionaires who pay thousands of dollars for the opportunity to hunt extinct creatures of the past.
These hunts are fairly routine, however, one afternoon their guns malfunction, and the team barely makes it back alive. When Travis returns to the past the following day, the time portal computer, TAMI, is gong haywire - volcanoes are exploding, and dinosaurs are dying. Then when Travis returns to the present, he discovers other more ominous signs that something is amiss: Files are missing from his computer, the weather has turned strange, and strange plant life is sprouting up around New York City. Travis suspects that somehow he and his team must have corrupted the timeline.
This belief is confirmed when Travis tracks down Allison, the inventor of modern time travel, just as a ‘Time Wave’ rolls through New York city. Instantly, swarms of bugs overwhelm New York. Whole buildings disappear. People cease to exist. Enlisting Allison’s help, Travis deduces that one of the self-indulgent billionaires must have brought a butterfly back from the past, despite dire warnings against this.
This butterfly must have been an ecological hinge point, Travis surmises, and now the current ecosystem is in jeopardy. Humanity may cease to exist. Travis, Allison and their team set out across a New York landscape now rife with thick jungle and dangerous, never-before-seen predators, determined to track down the stolen butterfly. Once found, they must bring it back to the cretaceous period before the last time wave hits, and man’s mark is forever swept from the face of the Earth.
the synopsis makes this movie seem intresting. but this could be another day after tommorrow film where it seems good on paper but movies its bad. i would like to hear your views on this movie.

I read the short story by Ray Bradbury, it's really good, you should check it out. In it one of the hunters accidentally stands on a butterfly and kills it and it totally f*cks up time.

I remember reading that in high school, and being a little jostled by the aspect of time travel in every such book and movie I've seen since. Also, that storyline was used in an episode of "The Simpsons"; "Treehouse of Horror V", to be exact.

I just watched it last night and it actually isn't that bad, maybe the graphics weren't the best and you could tell when computer graphics were used, but it wasn't bad over all, I recommend it.
