10,000 B.C. [Blu-ray]

Come on people. It's a good movie.

Sure, it's got a simply story. Damsel-in-distress gets saved by hero, pretty much. There's fantasy creatures, too. So it's your average fairytale...Only primtive. But it's a simple story told extraordinarily.

Visually, 10000 BC is top notch. CGI is...eh, though. For the creatures, anyways.

But the cinematography, the costumes, the tribal fashion, are all to amazing. (I would totally rock out that primitive wear).

I liked it. The story was solid, kept good pace and the actors did a great job.

Fun action movie. I was able to follow it easilly although I have no familiarity with the comic book. Excelent CGI's.

Horrible. Just Horrible. "Historical Accuracy be D@mned!" must have been the cry of the people who produced this Idiotic movie that I was unable to sit through. I got to the scene with the big Velociraptor/Ostrich things and that was it for me. Not to mention that Horses were not domesticated for thousands of years after the movie was meant to take place. If you want a mindless popcorn movie with some impressive special effects, knock yourself out. If you want to see a good movie about prehistoric man, check out Quest for fire.

This movie is about a tribe of people living somewhere in the Eurasian landmass. One day during winter, an adopted girl in their tribe is carried of by horsemen. Three men (Ka'ren, D'leh, Tic-Tic) and one boy of the tribe follow them all the way to North Africa where they come across a pyramid being built by slave labor. D'leh leads an uprising which frees the slaves and free the girl. So that is the entire storyline. Along the way the meet and befriend other tribes, and encounter various beasts. As a movie, this would have been above-par if it was released in the 1980s. But for the 21st century, this is a sub-par movie; for several reasons. The primal flaw of the movie is the perfect English spoken by the main characters. Though grunts and groans would have been awkward, the writers did give other tribes in the movie distinct, yet unreconizable languages, so why couldn't they do it with the main characters also? The 2nd flaw of the movie is the simplicity, and plain orthodoxy of the plot. Basically, we have a simple boy grow up, falls in love, travels across the known world to save her, and in the process rescue thousands from slavery. Sounds like a adhoc mix of Spartacus, Kingdom of Heaven, Stargate, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a dozen other action - adventure movies over the past several decades. The good thing is the family - friendliness of the movie; minimal blood, no gore, no nudity or close-up shots of anyone getting eaten. Overall, an OK movie.
