a5c7b9f00b When a scientist sent back to the prehistoric era strays off the path he causes a chain of events that alters history in disastrous ways. 2055, Charles Hatton has made a fortune by founding 'Time safari', which offers rich 'big game hunters' short time travels to kill off dinosaurs just before their natural death. When Travis notices the weather and wildlife are not behavingusual, he consults Dr. Rand, the contractually invisible inventor of the supercomputer which controls the time travel. They soon face 'time waves', each worsening the effects in 2055 of evolutionary distortions, lower lifeforms first. They attempt to identify and rectify the past alteration, but each attempt gets harder in their distorted present. i saw this tonight-I've been looking forward to seeing it since it was announced 2 yr back but then i think it was going to star Liam neeson or someone-any way the movie-well its got a good enough story some good actors -even if ben kingsley looked like he was trying to win pantomime villain of the year.but i like him so i put this down to the studio-or director.also if it was a starring role for someone like will smith-tom cruise etc it would have been given a lot more money etc-its just a same no one bothered to put more money into it,the special affects -ie dinosaurs+wave were OK-but the city's etc were completely over the top-there's a part where the hero is "walking down the st with the inventor"and you can tell there not walking-+they must be just walking on a conyeror belt-but if you can put aside this and enjoy the film its not bad -with more decent effects it could have been a big movie-i remember when total film advertised ita big blockbuster coming soon-but then it did have a lot more money-actors in the pipeline-one more think this is your standard movie in the same way has category 6+7 and supernova-when it comes to effects-but with a bit of a better story.by the way this is my opinion and no-one has to agree-but i still say watch the film. 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 fortuneco-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. The picture looksmurkyits story line, the sound is tinny, much of the dialogue is flat or confoundingly technical or merely risible, and most everything on the screen looks patently fake.
