i have no clue what the actually name is.


It's farely recent, between The Core and Steath recent.
It's a time travel movie.
Pretty much had the popularity rating of The Core.

Some crazy time traveling device required you to stay on the path to prevent distruptions in the timeline.

Crap hits the fan.

The present day world has skyscrapers covered in plants and dinosaurs running about.

I think your talking about

A Sound of Thunder
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318081/

I think I saw bits of this when I was channel surfing in Mexico and there was nothing else on in English.

There were some interesting ideas they were trying to work with but the execution was pretty bad.

Yeah, I think that's the one. Looks like it flopped pretty hardcore. I think the short story on which it's based had a better reception in its time.

Based on a classic and well-respected story by Ray Bradbury, the film had about as much respect for its source material as Halle Berry's Catwoman movie or Paul Verheoven's Starship Troopers. That may be why the movie was so unmemorable.

Still......the dino-baboons were kinda cool.

HEY! Be careful what you say about Verhoven's Starship Troopers...http://www.reel.com/movie.asp?MID=40705&buy=open&PID=10100950&Tab=reviews&CID=18#tabs
