Boy and turtle? Hmm........I don't remember the episode. :confused:
I'm waiting for DVD's release,too. Actually, I didn't see all episodes. I watched about 10 or 15 episodes only. So I want to see all episodes.
Bradbury is still popular author in Ireland? He's now not popular in Japan.
Today I saw A History of Violence and this "A Sound of Thunder".
Original short story, "A sound of thunder" is my favorite story. I still remember that surprising ending. Just one butterfly! One butterfly changed history! Can you believe it? I was amazed by Ray Bradbury's imagination. He is now 85 years old. Still he's writing!
And, this movie version. At first I was worried Peter Hyams made this movie. But I was surprised myself. Because honestly, I enjoyed it. Excellent SFX, Weird creatures and vegetation, those essences were not included in original. But after all, a cause was "one butterfly".
Speaking of actors, I laughed at Ben Kingsley's too exaggerated acting. He is a capitalist from hell!
By the way, in this movie, time's change is slow like aftermath come. But on the other hand, in "Back to the Future" time's change happened while unnoticed. If time travel is possible, and if someone changed the past, which change is right? What do you think about it?

This is one of my favorite short stories....I read this for school when I was 12....we had to write a small paper on the story. Fantastic.
Anyone who has not read this- go and read.....and I also suggest reading Something Wicked this Way Comes by Mr. Bradbury
See- public schools are not falling apart!

Watched this movie last night and it was so-so. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. If they'd had a bigger budget it could've been really good.
