Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

antonio-16075 In terms of what the movie is about and the time period of human existence the film deals with no other production comes to close to depicting and dealing with the topic of the surge of mankind in such a true, honest, subtle, but yet ambitious manner. This film is a must see for intellectuals, students and anyone having a keen interest of origin and history. The close minded, ignorant or disinterested should seek something else to do and as most people apply to the latter this is why the film is so underrated. As the Quest for Fire was made in the early eighties and a lot of insight and knowledge about prehistoric times has been gained since then this movie needs to desperately be remade for today's audience.

imwinglessangel Anyone who paid attention in HS cannot take this movie seriously. Science and History was thrown out the window when this movie was written. Movies like One Million Years B.C. were at least entertaining. I only watched until the end to see where other reviewers found it so "realistic". My library is full of books on Prehistoric times and this movie never even tried to fit into the true nature of prehistory. If you want a good laugh then watch it. If you want to see a movie that is scientifically & historically accurate then I suggest Clan of the Cave. Bear. If they had placed the story line to perhaps 500,000 BC it might have reflected more truly the human evolution; unfortunately this story line would eventually lead to Homosapiens Never developing into the intelligent beings we have become.

Lan Fisher I had originally watched this movie back in 1982, when I was just an early teenager, and as an adult, I could only remember bits and pieces of what happened. So I recently decided to watch it again, fully expecting it to be cheesy and campy experience, the way many old movies seem to go.However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Quest For Fire has aged quite well. If anything, the grittiness of the 1982 film stock really adds to the texture of the movie. It really does feel like you're watching a world from 80,000 years ago, mainly because of the rugged landscape, but also because of the exotic wildlife and the wonderful performances. If you haven't seen this movie, and you have a healthy attention span, I would recommend watching it. If you saw the movie years ago and have written it off as a silly caveman movie, give it a second chance!

theshadow_01 The title of this film came up on a Christian movie website, oddly enough, after googling ancient films. I saw that it had Ron Perlman credited and that gave me the motivation to hunt it down.Being that this movie was made before I was born, there aren't any special effects or epic costumes. There are however, many real animals implemented to the film. I did thoroughly enjoy this movie, and found an attachment to some of the characters. Even my wife, who doesn't particularly fancy films such as this, found it a good watch.Whether this film is historically accurate or not, it opened my mind to the struggles and intelligence of early man.I would highly recommend this to movie buffs that like historical films, and something a little different to your mainstream drama/action.
