Movie Info

Hal Roach and his son were primarily responsible for this fun-filled prehistoric fantasy, but it is rumored that a few of the scenes were directed by D.W. Griffith. The featherweight story chronicles the struggle of a group of cave people to survive in an ancient, brutal world populated by fearsome dinosaurs and other terrors.

If you can dig all the nonsense, you might find it pleasing as silly entertainment.

Audience Reviews for One Million B.C.

One of the great adventure films ever with a simple plot of "what it must've been like living way back when" told with the by now antiquated special effects. Still it's a rousing tale told with vigor, expected to garner the wow factor from the outset, which it does. Of course it would be easy to sit back, sneer and call out the obvious inaccuracies of the story - too many to number - or even the age of the piece, but my answer to that would be "wet blanket!" or "killjoy!" What film is ever truly accurate? Huh? This is nothing but a fun work. If you can remember the eleven year old inside you, before you got to be all sophisticated and everything (with your automatic ice cube dispensing refrigerators and your French bidets!), this is as good as King Kong. Warning: Several animals were hurt in the making of this! We're talking about the 1930's here, before we were advanced enough to know better.
