Review

ruined by the effects

It’s amazing for a film to have such an ok concept only to be massively let down by awful special effects. Why this film was made for the big screen just baffles me with its TV movie feel. Starring Ben Kingsley and David Oyelowo (you have to wonder why these two fine actors are in this crap), the film is set in the future where humans can go back in time and shoot dinosaurs, providing they stay on the path. When one of them doesn’t and accidently kills a butterfly, it automatically sends a ripple through time and space with devastating consequences. Like I said, the concept is ok – it’s like The Butterfly Effect but this film executes that scenario poorly. The special effects are so bad it was like they didn’t make room for it in the production budget. You can tell it’s fake and unconvincing and to be honest, Doctor Who has better effects and that’s a TV show! Avoid at all costs.
