ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
raul_bli Firstly the acting was great. The landscapes were awesome. CGI maybe not the best in the history of cinematography but nonetheless very good. The story was very interesting, not the most complex so only people that read at least 10.000 books can understand, either way not the most simple one. It was right on point and it says enough so you can understand what is all about in that movie. Maybe the only complain which i would agree if i would have cared about the historical accuracy of what happened 10.000 years ago. I can understand that the history snobs get very triggered at a movie when it lacks in accuracy on historical part, but come on, do you really care about what happened 10000 years ago? I mean when a movie has a lot of inaccuracies in more recent events such as ww2 it's ok to complain, but in this case I feel like people are neatpicking. It wasn't perfect, but not how people describe it here, I feel like the grade that movie got does not fo the justice. Have a good day.
LeonLouisRicci Why put a Date on the Thing. Any Date. From the Beginning there are going to be Nit-Pickers and Truth Tellers, History Buffs, and Scholarly Types, that feel the Need, no Obligation, to Weigh-In and "Educate" the Public on the "way it was' (our best guess only).Add to that, the Utterly Braindead, Corny, Irritating Interruption of an all too Serious Narrator that Stops the Show all too Often. In Fact, the Movie Overall takes itself all too Seriously, all the Time.The Movie has its Moments and the Spectacle is Artistically Appealing. The Story is Pure "Hero's Journey", and it is Touching with its Romance and Tribal Sprawl. Also, the Message of a Coming-Together to Fight an Evil Foe is a Noble One.But the Film as a whole is Burdened by some of those Very Weak Drawbacks. The Movie gets Progressively Better as it Unfolds with Act Two in the Jungle almost a "Harryhausen' Homage, and Act Three is the best with an almost "Stargate" like Setting.This Never approaches Harryhausen in its Artistry or Stargate in its Ancient Astronaut Wonder, but the Film is at its Best when it Tries.
phoenixangelfire-69187 Quite possibly the worst and most inaccurate film I have ever been "subjected to." Right down there with some of the worst third tier horror moves and even worse when you consider it is represented at least-title -wise, as a film based loosely upon prehistoric events. I never knew that the pyramids were constructed with the aid of woolly mammoths! I can now safely divest myself of all my texts on ancient Egypt and hieroglyphics. Furthermore, the most uninstructed person is aware of the fact that, paper, gold processing and cloth production as well as written language...ships, horses??? did not exist prior to the copper age (which preceded the bronze and iron ages) around 5000 b.c. (earliest traces).We are meant to believe that the hero is a multilingual martial arts expert trained in superior cave man tactics? Save yourself the strain on your eyesight this is a box office flop. Did people actually pay to have their intelligence insulted?Then again I saw one bozo give this flop a 10/10 guess there is no counting for intelligence eh? No wonder the planet is doomed to mediocrity.
Dominic LeRose I've been waiting for years for an absolute epic prehistoric time thriller that shows the difficult lifestyle and has exhilarating action sequences with ancient creatures. When "10,000 B.C." was announced I was dying to finally view what I thought would match my needs. Nope! "10,000 B.C." is a loud, goofy, boring, inaccurate portrayal of one of times most interesting periods. The plot is something you'd see out of a cheesy Disney action film from Jerry Bruckeheimer and gets to the point where it feels like a spoof on the time period. Basically, a young mammoth hunter named D'Leh journeys through uncharted territory after a band of mysterious horse-riding warlords raid his village and kidnaps his lover Evolet along with many others. D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters south to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. The most disappointing thing about this joke of a film is how cheesy the creatures are and how little we actually see them. We see many cheesalisous creatures and only see woolly mammoths and saber-tooth tigers briefly and when we do see them we get to take in the hilarious way they look. Seriously, there are films from the 60's with better visual effects. It's very hard to see how the film takes place in 10,000 B.C., because the setting and people look like a tribe in modern day rural countries around the world. The action scenes are too kinetic, not allowing us to be driven by the scenes or rushed with excitement. They go by too quickly and there are no visual description of where the characters are so there can be no intensity. Weak editing,stereotypical production and costume design and overdone music are all on the weakness of director Roland Emmerich for allowing these weaknesses to be enforced on this film and for using terrible camera work. There's too much running through trees, ridiculous names, fake acting, cheesy effects and sound for this film to be even a little bit entertaining. "10,000 B.C." is similar to something you'd find on the history channel as a reenactment. If you've been waiting for a prehistoric blockbuster film with great visual film elements, don't be fooled like I was with this joke.
