Roland Emmerich's prehistoric odyssey 10,000 BC is his silliest, most preposterous blockbuster to date. But it's lots of fun, too.

Top CriticRoland Emmerich's great big CGI blockbuster lumbers along like one of the woolly mammoths that roam across the screen.

Top CriticDon't expect Roland Emmerich's 10,000BC to make much sense, historically, geographically or logically.

Top CriticShould have been a lot more fun.

Top CriticTake the kids along; unless you want them to grow up to be palaeontologists.

Top CriticLike the lumbering mammoths, it is plodding and dull.

Top CriticThe mammoths aren’t all that is wild and woolly in this innocent, old-fashioned, amusingly self-important, entertainingly mad, rip-snorting throwback to vintage Saturday matinee fare.

Top CriticOutrageous and outlandish, Emmerich's 10,000 BC is easy to mock, but it is so cheerfully shameless and terminally silly that you have to admire its effrontery and accept its creator... as a certified crackpot visionary.
03/07/08
Top CriticIt’s best not to think too hard about anything in 10,000 BC, a sublimely dunderheaded excursion into human prehistory.
03/06/08
Top CriticDigital imagery imagines a striking prehistoric world for these back-to-basics heroes, villains and raging beasts.
03/06/08
Top CriticConventional where it should be bold and mild where it should be wild, 10,000 BC reps a missed opportunity to present an imaginative vision of a prehistoric moment.
