help me ID a movie
 

i believe the premise involves scientist going back in time. one of them accidentally kills or captures a butterfly (or something similar). this simple act impacts the entire future of the world. I believe the movie came out in 2004 or 2005. probably wasn't on the big screen for more than a couple weeks. help!

You may be thinking of The Butterfly Effect?: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289879/

Sounds like you're describing A Sound of Thunder.

Thank You, It was "A Sound of Thunder" my son wanted to see the movie but i just couldn't remember the name. Audiokarma comes through again!

Hmmmmm. Sounds like an interesting movie. I like all science fiction to do with time travel. I also never listen to critics. I judge for myself. I think I am gonna rent it if I can.

Wow, that one rates a 3.7 on the IMDB! :lmao: Sounds like the one he was looking for though.

The Butterfly Effect plot has been used a lot, Twilight Zone or Outer Limits even had an episode based on it.

Reminds me of the toaster Homer J. built and the raining donuts!

LOL, exactly what I was thinking

That Simpsons episode and A Sound of Thunder were both based on the same short story by Ray Bradbury, can't remember the title, though. Dang mind is blanking.
