10,000 BC (2008)

Instant Favorite.

A Masterpiece!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

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.

An insult to the average moviegoer's intelligence in every way. Despite the horrid acting, bizarre fantasy setting (don't think this is even trying to depict how 10,000 BC was like), dullness, an inconsequential plot and stupidly corny dialogue the film manages to be somewhat entertaining due to some action scenes. I just don't know what Roland Emmerich was trying to accomplish with this movie. This guy was like "place a couple Hollywood actors there, make up an elementary plot, throw them some cheap customes, make tiger cgi so that we can create a poster (tiger only appears in one scene which last ~ 1-2 minutes), come up with some cheesy dialogue and paste it all together (in some form or another, w/e)". Thus, if you turn off your brain the film is watchable. Rating: 3/10 - Bad

Admittedly, my memory of 10,000 B.C. is a bit unstable after watching it on HBO a few years ago. I remember the rudimentary plot - young warrior of woolly mammoth hunting tribe is predestined to save his azure-eyed girlfriend from a more advanced Egyptian-like race. I remember (I think) the opening shot of the mammoth hunt where the young warrior earns his stripes by standing his ground and holding a spear for a mammoth to impale itself upon. I remember the mammoth tribe's journey across several jumbled climate zones (grassland, jungle, desert) to retrieve the young woman, Evolet. I certainly remember the encounter with the carnivorous terror-birds (Phorusracos), one of the few exciting parts of the movie. I sorta remember a man from another tribe agreeing to help the young mammoth hunter (can't remember his name) in his quest. I remember the young hunter being trapped in some watery hole with an enormous saber-tooth cat and the hunter saying something hilariously to the effect, "I'll free you if you promise not to eat me". He frees the cat and the cat doesn't eat him. However, the sabertooth doesn't do much else in the movie. And, yeah, I remember, the Egyptian-like civilization using mammoths to construct their monuments and pyramids (actually not a bad touch).However, what I most remember is a physical impossibility - mammoths galloping like horses over the meadows. Now, like most elephants, mammoths would have managed at best a shuffling walk - pretty fast but no gallop. It was logical gaffes like this that actually made me realize what a junk heap of a movie 10,000 B.C. really is, if you stop to think about it. If you don't think about it, which I did for a while, it's a fairly entertaining pulp B-movie.

I really don't get why this movie has received so many negative reviews. This movie have some really well made special effects, and an awesome storyline. The story takes place in a prehistoric era approximately 10.000 years b.c. You follow a tribe of mammoth huntsmen called the Yaghal on an epic journey. The critics constantly bash this movie, for the ''poor acting'' but most people really don't care much about that, because of the fact that the acting isn't really that bad. I gave this movie 10 out of 10 stars, because i simply had a blast watching it! If you are into films about the prehistoric era I'm sure that you will appreciate this movie as much as i do! i will definitely recommend this fantastic movie to others! I also strongly recommend watching the movie in Full-HD with surround sound.
