Great Film: A Sound of Thunder
Best bad movie of the year!
I live for movies like this.
Saw it in a theater with about 12 other people. 3 people left about 20
minutes in. I'm not sure if they left because the movie was so bad or
because they couldn't hear the dialogue over the laughter of the rest
of us.
Mediocre special effects don't excite me. Abysmally bad special effects
are wonderful. I disagree with the previous commenter -- I don't think
the actors were walking on a treadmill in front of the green screen, I
think they were just standing in place and shifting their weight from
one foot to the other.
Sir Ben Kingsley is clearly aware of the "quality" of this film and
embraces the ridiculousness, having a great time reading his absurd
lines.
The plot, the dialogue, the special effects, the creatures, the actor's
accents -- each piece of this movie is worse than the last. There were
at least three scenes that made me laugh so hard I cried.
I love dumpster-diving through bad movies in search of treasure. The
recent crop of bad movies have been just plain boring. This one is the
diamond that makes it all worthwhile.
