What to Know

Critics 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.

Roland Emmerich's prehistoric odyssey 10,000 BC is his silliest, most preposterous blockbuster to date. But it's lots of fun, too. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 03/14/2008

kinga T @RT24013962 May 29 This is the best movie I have ever watched, it’s very emotional and moving. I’ve seen this at least 15 times and I usually make my friends watch it. Every scene is perfectly acted and displays the true life of our ancestors. I think everyone should watch it at least twice. So sad there isn’t a part 2. This movie perfectly executed my daily life struggles and I was so engaged throughout the 1 hour and 49 minutes. The movie is so realistic I forget I’m not in 10,000 BC. I felt the fear that ooga booga felt when the sabertooth spared his life and I also was moved by the scene with the baseball bat. It’s truly inspiring and innovative. Every day I wake up I long to experience this movie again. I’m jealous of the people watching it for the first time. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 17 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 07/30/2025 Success in 1 hour and 49 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
