This is definitely not an A-list movie. The story is bad, the special effects are horrible and the dinosaur looks like something from an animated movie. But if you can look past that and have about 100 minutes, it's an okay movie to watch. But just DON'T expect a great movie. But it could serve as an inspiration if Hollywood one day decides to remake this as an all-star A-list Hollywood version. It's not that bad, but not that good either. I'd give it 60%, or a 6/10.

This was a decent sci-fi movie, and I've seen quite a few time travel shows. (Small spoiler here) You have time tourists who are warned that the slightest interruption in the past can cause a cascade of disastrous repercussions in the future. Here, the changes in the evolution of nature don't come immediately but instead through a series of time waves. The acting and special effects were good too.This is certainly better than the effect in Ray Bradbury's original story "A Sound of Thunder", where stepping on a butterfly 65 million years ago only caused a change in the outcome of a Presidential election. Now that's too much of a stretch.My main problem with the movie, as a scientist, is that the movie completely overlooks the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. Any interference with the evolutionary time line the travelers made during the age of the dinosaurs would have been greatly impacted by their mass extinction around 65 million years ago. However, no mention is made in the movie of the effect the mass extinction could have had on ripple effect caused by the killing of the butterfly.

This is the type of film which gives the Science fiction genre/time travel sub-genre a bad name. Rich thrill-seekers pay a small fortune for a trip back in time to take part in a kind of Jurassic safari and in the killing of a dinosaur.Dressed like they are going paintballing they pass through a series of what looks like carbon dioxide fire extinguishers through a mysterious portal from the near future to millions of years into the primordial past to take down a very unconvincing plastic-looking dinosaur. What the excellent Ben Kingsley was doing in this movie I have no idea, must have paid well.The rest of the cast were for the most part clichéd, the spurned scientist cheated out of her fame and fortune as co-inventor of the time travel apparatus (clipped English, of course,this is Hollywood after all), the wooden hero safari leader and of course Ben Kingsley's sinister European accented right-hand man.Awful script, complete pseudo-science mixed with "waves of time" nonsense, and the effects were laughable, particularly the seal/human hybrid creature which appeared towards the end of the film and the poorly-animated futuristic vehicles and obvious model overhead monorail.Would not recommend.

Why do I like cheesy sci-fi movies like this? OK, why did I like this one? Yes, of course, it didn't make sense -- but to be honest, I didn't care. It started off sensibly enough, but then as it progressed they just added more craziness. First the time waves. Then the killer jungle. Then the lizard-apes. Then the other flying and swimming dinosaurs. Wow. It didn't matter to me that the FX were not that great. They were good enough.It was so...over the top. I mean the fabric of time has been ripped, and yet we're still following eye-candy Travis bravely and stalwartly lead his group through it all. How on earth are they going to get the machine working again? They created the disaster of all disasters, but how on earth were they going to get out of it? For some reason, I wanted to know. And what was with the hysterical characters? "Don't blame me for this!" What on earth was Ben Kingsley doing in this movie. So many unanswered questions.
