10,000 B.C. (2008)

not quite "fulfilling"

*10,000 B.C.* just couldn't quite be THE movie, although there were quite some interesting elements in it.

This movie focuses on a clan during a time when mammoths and sabertooths roam the earth. D'leh is isolated from his peers because his father, the clan's leader, had forsaken them. Also in the clan is the adopted blue-eyed girl.

When the girl is taken hostage in a land faraway, which you assume to be Egypt, D'leh and a few men go after them. And, along the way, they encounter little adventures.

Simple story with minimal dialogues. It's a simple damsel-in-distress plot that works just about every time. While there were cool special effects, there were misses here and there. I think what really hurt this film was that the story moved at a slow pace. Slow pace + minimal dialoge = not good.

Amazing CGI effects!

I just saw the movie. Its a great storyline. But above all, the special effects are amazing, worthy of watching on HD with a booming surround sound. I rented it at one of those vending machines at the supermarket. I wanna watch it in blue ray , once i get my PS3 this week. Enjoy.

Oh, and by the way. I'm sure the actors are getting a lot of heat in these reviews, but they're newcomers. So, you won't get the same tired old faces like cruise, foster or samuel l. jackson...lol. not that there's anything wrong with them but: I'm tired of these m-----f----- snakes!!! lol

Interesting Adventure

This was definately interesting as far as a "caveman" movie is concerned. It doesn't focus at all on the life of a cave person like Quest for Fire or Clan of the Cave Bear, but instead focuses on a man from a mountain, mammoth hunting tribe going off on an adventure to rescue his love from a people who stole her, and others, to do with them who knows what.

The cover is misleading because the interaction between him and the tiger was surprisingly little.

The ending to the movie is what makes this into a fantasy over having any historical value. I never expected pyramids to be anywhere near. I was sort of wondering why the writer wanted to end it that way.

The movie does have a good message. It's about finding out who you are, learing to face fears and determination can win out against adversity. Of course we've seen movies that have dealt with these themes before, and better, but this movie is a nice escape for an hour or two. October 30, 2008
