review of 10,000 bc
There are mediocre movies that are true to history.(Tora, Tora, Tora) There are great movies that are mediocre as history.(Elizabeth) This movie is mediocre both as history and as a movie.
From the domesticated mastodons and convenient prophecies to three pyramids being built at once and the most multi-cultural prehistoric community of all time, this movie is an obvious product of a politically correct, marketing committee run amok.
As someone who took a date to this movie, I soon began wishing she was asleep so at least she'd get a good rest out of the deal.
first off, let me say i am a fan of Roland Emmerich's films like Independence Day,The Patriot etc. but this film is beyond a doubt the most grueling and awful test of patience i have ever endured . time stopped and i got a serious headache after watching this garbage. a $75,000,000 budget and you get poor actors and cgi from TV's "charmed". the "tiger" in Ice Age looked more real and even more menacing than the kitten that was in this movie no longer than 3 minutes. i thought the trailer looked good and went in the theater with an open mind . i am amazed by how bad it was . AMAZED! Come to think of it, i remember being more entertained watching paint dry
I was really excited when I went to see this movie. Boy was it ever a disappointment. This movie suffers from being just plain dumb and also a bit boring. Also anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of ancient civilization will see the glaring inaccuracies in the movie. Besides the fact that you have middle eastern, African, Asian, and European primitives living with a few days of each other, you also have a civilization that can built temples, boats and domesticate mammoths while the rest of the world are still basically cavemen. The story itself is basically a girl stolen by raiders is pursued by her mate. Along the way there are mammoths, saber toothed tigers and a bird I can not name. I was actually bored with the movie and my wife fell asleep. This is supposed to be a popcorn movie. These big budget spectaculars are at least supposed to keep you awake. If you want a terrific movie with a similar storyline, go and buy Apocalypto from Mel Gibson. Don't waste your money.
