Time Travel for Beginners

[andrewducker]

A Sound of Thunder is the archetypal time-travel short-story.

All You Zombies is the ultimate in solipsist predestination time-travel stories.

Neither will take you more than 15 minutes to read, and you really should.

Blimey, two short stories I've read! I highly reccomend the Sounder of Thunder film. It's and intelligent and well made adaptation. It certainly isn't a steaming pile of abysmal CGI, awful acting and man eating baboon-lizards.

Heavens no.

That was what I heard.

Mmmm, baboon-lizards.

The interesting thing about the film is that the production company went bankrupt at the end of the shoot. The budget for post production was so low that all they could do was tart up the placeholder effects a bit.

The T-Rex, in particular, is agonising to watch.

LOL! I was just about to mention the movie.

I wonder if it was the fact that they only one one T-Rex animation that dictated that they had to go back to the exact same scene in history. :)
