Heavy on moronic mysticism and light on imagination, excitement, and shot-to-shot coherence

REVIEWS FOR 10,000 B.C.
10,000 BC takes film making back to the stone age...
Aug 3, 2009
Brace yourself for a mammoth disappointment.
Jul 24, 2009
People expecting a fun action movie will be severely disappointed. If you get drunk with some buddies and go to make fun of it, you might like it more. But that doesn't make it a good movie
Jul 22, 2008
Would make a good drinking game; silly fun but not "good." A critic sitting near me snorted in derision at my "the costumes kicked ass," but I won't back down. They were really cool.
Jul 17, 2008
I can't help but think that 10,000 BC started out as an idea that sounded like, "Wouldn't it be cool if we had wooly mammoths and saber toothed tigers and people all in the same movie?" and went from there.
Jun 28, 2008
A disaster that can't even get the computer generated images right.
Jun 20, 2008
...most of the film is simply a matter of waiting for it to end.

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.
Jun 14, 2008
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.
Jun 8, 2008
It was a pleasant surprise.
Jun 2, 2008
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.
May 20, 2008
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.
May 4, 2008
crap, and more crap in a crap bucket
May 2, 2008
The actors speak in fluent anachronistic English. The dialogue is prehistoric but not in the way Emmerich intended.
Apr 15, 2008
It's a film that countryman Uwe Boll would have made had he the budget and the cinematographer
Apr 2, 2008
I enjoyed the movie, so it qualifies as a mammoth guilty pleasure
Mar 27, 2008
it is hard to be enthralled with the dusty, warmed-over romantic fixations of what is essentially a very handsome cave-couple
