A Sound of Thunder (2005)
A Sound of Dunder
This movie was in every way horribly terrible. It's supposed to have a strong theme about the ethics and risks of time travel with lots of special effects to make it "look cool". The one problem, though, is that the movie blatantly disregards the laws of time and space continuum at parts, but then revolves around it in other parts. The use of the green screen was TERRIBLE!!! In one scene, they couldn't sync up the speed of two characters walking with the speed of the sidewalk going by. There were scenes in which you could clearly see where the set ended and the green screen picked up. If this was a big budget film, then I pity the fool that funded it. The directing was also awful. The feeble attempts to jolt the audience with pathetic scare tactics left me rolling in my seat with laughter. I would give this movie one star. The only reason that it even gets the one star is that this could be a good movie to rent with your friends if you're looking for a good laugh.
Equilibrium (2002)
It's a crowd pleaser
I love this movie so much, and I try to tell people about it any chance that I get. I rented it one time to show it to some of my friends. At the rental store, the guy that checked us out called it the "poor man's Matrix".
After that, my friends were all extremely skeptical After the first action sequence, and they were all on the edge of their seats with their jaws dropped. I'd say that's a good thing. Throughout the movie they kept talking about how awesome it was. Afterwards, they thanked me repeatedly for introducing "Equilibrium" to them. I'd say to anyone that's considering (or not considering) to see the movie, "GO see it right now. It is one of the greatest and most under-rated movies of all time." It's a secret treasure waiting to be discovered.
