"A Sound of a.....Bad Movie"
By Michele Dillon

Aww man...I can't believe I wasted my "blunder" title on "Underclassman" when I could have used it for this movie....but anyway, I'm completely over it.
The second I turned this movie on I knew it was going to be a movie well worth being on the Worst list. It is supposed to be set in the future but instead of just trying to make current things seem futuristic, the entire movie seems like it is CGI'd. There are numerous scenes where the actors are walking on the sidewalk and it shows the cars driving by that are supposed to be inventions from the future, but they have such a cartoonish vibe to them and it doesnt look real at all. You can totally tell that the actors are working in front of green screens. As if that wasn't enough to make the movie completely not deserving of my respect, the storyline was horrible too. It was about where a scientist had invented a time traveling machine and has used it to make money by having rich people sign up to travel back in time to the dinosaur land and have the adventure of killing a real live dinosaur. However, they can't change anything in order to make sure the future doesn't change so they make sure that they keep killing the same dinosaur over and over again each time and they only can kill it once it is clear it was already going to die anyway. During one of the trips, something goes wrong but they believe that they have everything under control once they leave. However, things start changing in the real world after the trip. Vegetation starts growing everywhere and weird animals start errupting because evolution somewhow got changed. Pretty soon, according to the scientist that invented the machine, she believes humans will eventually change into a completely different mutation as well unless they find a way to go back to the original trip where something went wrong and fix it before it happens so everything goes back to normal.
The only glitch in this dumb idea of a movie is the basic knowledge of how time travel works. In time traveling, if you go back to a time where something already occurrs and for example, talk to someone there, then that means that the person that was talked too is going to remember that in the present. So the idea in this movie where one of the characters manages to go back to where everything went wrong and fix what happened, doesn't make sense because he talks to one of the scientists on the trip, yet the first time around this never happened. Its just not possible and it doesn't make sense therefore it is stupid....I know they way I explained it probably makes no sense either but explaining time travel is hard so forgive me.
