This is not Back to the Future...

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2004)

I dont see how so many people are comparing this to Back to the Future. I'm almost positive that the title of this movie comes from the short story "The Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury. It's an excellent story; more people should have read it before they see this. We read it during freshmen year in high school so I guess it was useful for something. The story goes like this in a nutshell.. it takes place in the future where peopel can go back to prehistoric times and hunt dinosaurs, but they have to keep on this hovering path so they dont touch anything and change history, because if they changed one simple thing in the past it can create unbelievable effects millions of years later (hense the quote at the beginning of the movie), but this one guy goes back and steps off the path, and not realizing what hes done the group of hunters go back to the present time and see that everything is different, because the guy had stepped on a butterfly when he went off the path. But yeah.. this is not Back to the Future. This is a great rendition of The Sound of Thunder. I thought it was a good movie, but go and see for yourself.
