Consensus: With attention strictly paid to style instead of substance, or historical accuracy, 10,000 B.C. is a visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic.
Theatrical Release:14-03-2008
Synopsis: Director Roland Emmerich weaves myth and legend together in this epic love story. As the Ice Age is ending, the Yagahl people are struggling to survive. When Evolet (Camilla Belle), a young,... [More]

Reviews for 10,000 B.C.
Ready to rumble, scantily clad Neanderthals gone wild, gliding around the globe faster than high speed Internet. And while dodging seemingly nearsighted menacing reptiles with bad manners, whose oversized choppers repeatedly miss their mark.

But the folks who made 10,000 B.C. have filled their film with a sub-Disney plot and inserted a few measly slivers of action that hardly warrant all the mystical hubbub and romantic angst.

It was a pleasant surprise.

In fact, while sitting through this banal attempt at a big-scale epic, I could not help but go through a checklist in my mind of all the movies "10,000 B.C." borrows from.

If you absolutely must endure 10,000 BC, do as we did and take along a pencil - jabbing the nib in your eye might be the only way to regain a sense of feeling after the dumbest, naffest cinematic violation of your life.

The filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing this movie to enter a movie theatre. It was like a bad made for TV special that you would see on ABC or NBC.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
05/04/08
crap, and more crap in a crap bucket
05/02/08
The actors speak in fluent anachronistic English. The dialogue is prehistoric but not in the way Emmerich intended.
04/15/08
It's a film that countryman Uwe Boll would have made had he the budget and the cinematographer
04/02/08
I enjoyed the movie, so it qualifies as a mammoth guilty pleasure
03/27/08
it is hard to be enthralled with the dusty, warmed-over romantic fixations of what is essentially a very handsome cave-couple
03/26/08
It's just a wrong movie altogether, an elaborately nonsensical stew of crazy costumes, bizarre accessories, and funny voices.
03/22/08
Surely it's only coincidence that the sign of D'Leh's accomplishment is a White Spear.
03/21/08
You actually have to feel sorry for the actors, one of which is New Zealander Cliff Curtis, the only person I recognised.
03/19/08
I don't know about you, but if I want to get excited about an ancient mammal I'll tune in Janice Dickinson.
03/18/08
With a dreadfully dull story and performances as petrified as 12,000-year-old wooden artifacts, 10,000 BC shambles along as if on a march to its own extinction.
03/17/08
It’s a horrible movie.
