Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Console best movie i've ever seen.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Jadey N. I hate Roland Emmerich movies. All of them. Except for this one...and Stargate too. (The television series is better though.) This is probably the highest score I ever gave to one of his films. (Except for Stargate.) There are a bunch of idiots complaining how this is historically inaccurate. Well you monkey of course it is! Even says so in the beginning of the film! They are rewriting history, well "pre-history" and telling a story in the progress. You don't go exclaiming that when you watch a movie set in the Dark Ages or Victorian Era do you? No! You don't go, "HAHA! Dragons you say? There were no dragons in during medieval times!" Or, "HAHA! A time machine? How incredibly stupid!" Does the Stone Age have some unique privilege I do not know about? This is a fun movie! I laughed a lot in the beginning of the movie because of their ridiculous accents and voices. "Me. Like you. You. Like the stars." The writing in this movie is really, really cheesy but wait! It's actually even cheesier! Civilization seems to get more advanced as the film goes on. But the story and plot is the same. A simple man after a simple woman, also seeking revenge. How adorable!? So if you were to over-analyze this film, you would say that this film is actually an allegory for human life. We evolve but we remain the same. Our only stupid purpose in life is to experience love... and reproduce with the person with the best genetics and features. (I stopped laughing at this point. Just. Wow...a smart Roland Emmerich movie? No I must be over- analyzing.) Now for you all self-proclaim historians of prehistoric times, how many times have you read a true love story like that?
LeonLouisRicci Why put a Date on the Thing. Any Date. From the Beginning there are going to be Nit-Pickers and Truth Tellers, History Buffs, and Scholarly Types, that feel the Need, no Obligation, to Weigh-In and "Educate" the Public on the "way it was' (our best guess only).Add to that, the Utterly Braindead, Corny, Irritating Interruption of an all too Serious Narrator that Stops the Show all too Often. In Fact, the Movie Overall takes itself all too Seriously, all the Time.The Movie has its Moments and the Spectacle is Artistically Appealing. The Story is Pure "Hero's Journey", and it is Touching with its Romance and Tribal Sprawl. Also, the Message of a Coming-Together to Fight an Evil Foe is a Noble One.But the Film as a whole is Burdened by some of those Very Weak Drawbacks. The Movie gets Progressively Better as it Unfolds with Act Two in the Jungle almost a "Harryhausen' Homage, and Act Three is the best with an almost "Stargate" like Setting.This Never approaches Harryhausen in its Artistry or Stargate in its Ancient Astronaut Wonder, but the Film is at its Best when it Tries.
epiphanes Awful. Just plain awful. This movie is typical American bullshit. No script, lot of CGI. No background story and no effort to bring the story closer to the public. First of all I would forbid making movies that don't have some kind of authenticity. What I mean is what Mel Gibson has done with his two historical movies. They are not perfect, but surely are more realistic than the rest of the stuff. If you're making a movie about caveman, they don't speak f... English. They screamed and had some kind of their language. Same with other parts of history. Don't waste your time. Better watch much older but more realistic movie A Quest for Fire from 1981.I won't waste my words on this movie as I have done with my time watching it.Peace
Rainey Dawn I do not care if there are anachronisms or not in this film - it's good! I found it to be an interesting story with beautiful mammoth sized cinematography. The way the movie is filmed it looks as if the film-makers were going for an Epic and they did it by my standards.I love the "Hyborian Age" type of films. It's a world of fantasy, sword and sorcery, barbarians and other magical ideas. "10,000 BC" does fit somewhat well into this category.If you loved the "Conan" films(1982 or 2011) or enjoy movies with a caveman theme like "Missing Link (1988) " and " Iceman (1984)" then you might like the movie "10,000 BC".I believe this movie is rated way to poorly - badly underrated on IMDb.8.5/10
