Some rules should never be broken.

Set in a near future where time travel is possible, this is the story of a travel agency, Time Safari Inc, owned and managed by Charles Hatton (Ben Kingsley), that arranges hunting trips for wealthy customers back in time to hunt dinosaurs.

Each trip is carefully planned, with a scout identifying dinosaurs about to die and then sending the clients back just seconds before so the course of time is not altered by the kill. However, in this case, a nervous hunter, Eckels, steps off the trail and steps on a butterfly. The historical repercussions of the death of a single butterfly, compounded by millions of years of effects, leaves the hunters to return to a future that is not quite the one they came from...

Now, Travis Ryer (Edward Burns), the lead dinosaur hunter, must team up with the time machine technology's inventor, Sonia Rand (Catherine McCormack), to stop the "time waves" that are rippling up from this event, threatening to erase humanity from existence.

Theatrical report

Oh boy, they really didn't put much effort into this one. A sound of thunder is a B-grade, low budget sci-fi action flick about the end of the world as we know it because of some technological miracle being abused by greedy entrepreneurs, with dodgy special effects. That's it. Yeesh. Don't worry if you never see this flick, you haven't missed anything.
