best movie i've ever seen.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
°Sabertooth spoilers ahead°Not sure what the critics are all about but I really enjoyed this. Sure, I get that it's not historically watertight, like are there really giant birds running around 10.000 BC ? and it's probably not the movie to end all movies .. but it was more than decent. The story never became predictable, the visuals were enjoyable all throughout and I did not cringe at any of the dialogues or the acting for that matter although both were kind of basic but hey, it was a prehistoric time after all remember, and I have to admit I cried real tears when .. Nah I'm not gonna tell you that yet! are you kidding me. The whole production had a pleasant warmth and friendliness to it, like in olden times, when people still had a heart and cared for each other, instead of preying on something twisted or shocking. I guess that's what you guys have been missing? That means evolution did a bad job and now you're just too numb to enjoy anything if bloody body parts are not slapping you in the face.. So, perfect feel good movie for a night with the girlfriend or your family and totally made to watch on a large screen. I had some debate with myself whether to give this a nine or a ten but this title really needs some rescuing from harsh votes of the modern day zombies and I'm willing to be the hero of the day
Creating a period piece based upon the Stone Age is very dubious because little is well known about prehistoric times, even with some evidence like fossils and cave men drawings. Nevertheless it can be safely stated that Roland Emmerich's "10,000 BC" fails on many levels. And the problems go way beyond the historical blunders, which include Iron Age items (swords, cages, chains), pyramids, gilded metallic pyramid top, stirrups, fabric clothing/sails with bright colors, and copper telescope. Note that the Iron Age commenced only around 1200 BC; the Copper Age began around two thousand years or so earlier. We even see a fairly accurate early modern map of the western world, including eastern South America (!). Where did these ancients get the appropriate nautical instruments for map-making? Even domesticated woolly mammoths are shown restrained by iron chain in the DESERT heat. Could not the director use Computer Generated Imagery to create mastodons instead? Hey, you can't have everything! Anyway, it is nice to learn that folks had such full and white sets of teeth then, while some women had beautiful coiffed hair and skin without scars, cuts, and scratches (even after a grueling forced march). It was interesting to learn that the Africans dined on South American chili in 10,000 BC. Beyond these fantastic facts, the movie is problematic with odd language use (unnatural English) for the era. Another annoyance is the expression "white rain" for snow. One would think that early man had used a simple word for "snow" at it is a common occurrence among mountain people. Other problems include dreadful scripting, poor pacing, ill-timed editing, and unremarkable acting. The whole muddle would have been better known as a fantasy or dream.The film, which becomes more ludicrous as it progresses, is narrated throughout by Omar Sharif. A Yagahl mountain clan of woolly mammoth hunters ekes out a meager existence (to make some sense of location, maybe they inhabit the Mt. Ararat area in eastern Turkey). But as the narrator says, before long the tribe will morph into warriors. The main character, D'Leh (Steven Strait), is looked down upon by some as his late father was unfairly perceived as a coward. The kinfolk are attacked and pillaged by prehistoric Arabic-looking slavers on horseback while two dozen or so survivors are taken prisoner (including D'Leh's love, Evolet = Camilla Belle). D'Leh and three companions quickly assemble to track the invaders. They trudge across nearly impassable mountains and thick jungles and scorching deserts. But to obtain a few slaves the ancient Arabs certainly made a cost-prohibitive and long and arduous trek (coming and going), which seems to consume about half of the feature. Along the way people encounter three types of prehistoric mammals: (1) more woolly mammoths from the Cenozoic Era's Pleistocene Period, (2) Diatrymas (large flightless birds from the Eocene), and (3) a Pleistocene saber-toothed cat (Smilodon), whose upper canines are disproportionately large and so long that the poor animal can barely extent his lower jaw beyond them! Anyway, D'Leh frees the dangerous cat, who repays him by not eating him. Because he handled himself well with the Smilodon (known as "spear-tooth" by natives), D'Leh is acknowledged as leader of the growing expedition by the prehistoric black Africans. At trek's finale D'Leh observes a super-advanced civilization (very very early Egyptian) under a man-god who commands the building of pyramids. The ruling nobles are prehistoric Asiatic Indians. Despite his unifying of North African warriors, D'Leh realizes that he is still outnumbered. If only he can free the captive slaves working the pyramids! Will the captured slaves even help them? Guess. The CGI is passable, and the sweep shots of the pyramids are well done. A positive element is that the use of gratuitous violence is somewhat controlled. Not that there is no carnage, but the camera cuts do spare us the potential grisly segments. Would including these scenes improve the film? Well, go back and read the first paragraph. On a typically more negative note, the movie does present some strange quotes. Here are just three of them: "I understand your pain." "Don't forget to chew." 'Tell him I am older than I look."A defender of Director Emmerich may say that he creates movies to please crowds and make money for the major studios. While that may be, it is difficult to find those above adolescent age who would appreciate this preposterous mess. You may get through it if you do not care much about history. But it is recommended only for the incarcerated, intoxicated, deranged, and the drugged.
My God, this film has, in everyway, ripped off the entire plot of Appocalypto.This film was boring, poorly, stupid and a complete waste of time. My biggest problem with the film is the story. It's complicated and it's stupid (especially when it gets to the climax and the death of the old woman).Also, the hero is not interesting at all. He's just the generic good guy who defies the dangers and everybody likes and saves the day and unlike Appocalypto, you don't care because he is not an engaging character. The CGI is not terrible and some of the animals and landscapes are really fun to watch. I do think there is a good movie somewhere in there trying to get out but you are just stuck with typical clichés like the "prophecy" stuff and the hero not believing he is the one but he is and he defies the odds and .You have seen this movie. Trust me, you have seen it.This movie leaves not impact at all. Do not watch it, if you want to see an ancient epic, go see Appocalypto instead.
I really don't get why this movie has received so many negative reviews. This movie have some really well made special effects, and an awesome storyline. The story takes place in a prehistoric era approximately 10.000 years b.c. You follow a tribe of mammoth huntsmen called the Yaghal on an epic journey. The critics constantly bash this movie, for the ''poor acting'' but most people really don't care much about that, because of the fact that the acting isn't really that bad. I gave this movie 10 out of 10 stars, because i simply had a blast watching it! If you are into films about the prehistoric era I'm sure that you will appreciate this movie as much as i do! i will definitely recommend this fantastic movie to others! I also strongly recommend watching the movie in Full-HD with surround sound.
