September 29, 2009Alright, so 10,000 BC is not historically accurate, for instance woolly mammoths and horses did not roam earth at the same time, but as a bit of an escape, 10,000 BC is fine. The hero has to convince many tribes to join together to defeat the evil master.

July 11, 2009Roland Emmerich's latest blockbuster offering 10,000 BC tells the age old tale of a young tribesman D'Leh who crosses mountains to rescue his ladylove Evolet from the enemies.
I thought it was terrible. Sure, some of the prehistoric animals looked fine, but that was about it...( read more) -
May 21, 2009Once upon a time, I wrote a detailed review about this crappy film. Mysteriously, it has disappeared off Flixster. I kind of wish this movie would have disappeared during production. But anyways, here's my review in a nutshell since I can't remember details:

April 7, 2009Like Emmerichs previous films, I knew not to expect anything serious, this was gonna be pure popcorn, and its not that bad popcorn either. Emmerich always produces good fun films and this is another good example. The plot is sooooooo very done before haha and the cast are rather ...( read more)

November 21, 2009I wanted to see this film on my birthday when it first came out! But my friend wanted to watch a stupid cartoon instead, We went to see the stupid cartoon! !

November 17, 2009This film is a mish-mosh of historical, geographic, and biological nonsense, but it's fun to watch anyway. The photography and SFX are beautiful. The characters are likable (or just the opposite where the villains are concerned)and well acted. Forget realism, this is Conan with a...( read more)

November 17, 2009"10,000 B.C." was yet another movie directed by Emmerich that failed to impress.
Like Emmerich's previous movie, "The Day After Tomorrow", "10,000 B.C." had an awesome trailer and breath-taking special effects. Unfortunately, it seems like too much time was spent creating dazzl...( read more)

Even a cameo by Pauly Shore in Encino Man would liven up this bombastic bore. full review

10,000 BC would be much better if it allowed itself the freedom to be kitsch. full review
March 7, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The best acting comes from woolly mammoths, man-eating ostriches and a saber-toothed tiger -- and those babies are digital. It's the human actors who look fake. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The mammoths are cool. The squealing killer ostriches, perhaps inspired by ancient phorusrhacid fossils, are idiotic but... okay, they're idiotic. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
If you thought 300 was silly, think of 10,000 BC as 33.333 times sillier. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
[I] saith to you that I had a strangely good time, and whether that is from laughing at 10,000 B.C. or laughing with it I knoweth not, although I strongly suspect the former. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
More than anything else, though, the movie recalls the overblown Hollywood biblical epics of the 1950s, with all their attendant anachronisms and free-floating cheese. full review
March 6, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
In the realm of heroic historical loincloth adventures, 10,000 is much less than 300. full review
March 6, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
It's best not to think too hard about anything in 10,000 BC, a sublimely dunderheaded excursion into human prehistory. full review

August 9, 2008Okay you know what? I refuse to believe anyone thought this was a good movie, even after seeing some 4 and 5 star ratings on here. I don't hate it just because of its historical inaccuracy. I hate it because it is AWFUL! And don't try telling someone if they take it for what it is (entertainment)it will be good. Because IT IS NOT GOOD even taken on that level! It's BORING if you look at it like that. This is by far the worst movie of 2008. I can't trust your taste in movies if you like this. I will tell you all this...if you thought this was a good movie...WATCH MORE MOVIES!!!

July 20, 2008Ouch!!, Visually stunning, but story was weak, predictable & boring, just a hollywood cash grab. Not worth the watch, very disappointed. :'-(

July 14, 2008Wow, was this a waste of time, energy and money. I do rely on movies to have a degree of historical accuracy - what bothers me is that some people will take this as truth.
Besides the acting, which was astonishingly bad.
And the poster had nothing to do with anything.
and the two leads seemed awfully clean and beautiful for such rough times.
and... well, I could go on forever like this. But mostly it was just plain BAD.
