Review: 10,000 B.C.

10,000 B.C.
Roland Emmerich is not a man best known for subtlety. He is, to put it crudely, best known for fucking shit up. The so-called master of disaster, Emmerich's movies are so big, dumb and stupid, no one else can touch him - his name on a movie's poster still holds weight due to his stellar work on Independence Day, although his God...

I turned this off after 10 minutes of skipping to the good bits. Crap.

I quite enyoyed this to be honest. Dumb, but I like these type of movies.

I see you picked up on the teeth thing too. As I've mentioned elsewhere, is as jarring as "Threads" when the young girl at the end has a filling after a nuclear holocaust.

Still, when Atlanteans are building pyramds and we have catalogue model cavemen and women, I'll let that slide.

Very disappointed. Apart from the Phorohacus bit and Pyramid scene the film had little else going for it, shame because it had so much promise. There were certainly similarities in the story with Apocolypto but that is where it ended. Apocolypto far superior, only saw it last year and still waiting to find something better. The real shame being i could tell it was going to be poor from the first scene, cavemen speaking english, wooden acting, computer generated monsters not fighting each other and as if a wild sabre-tooth would have just strutted into town and not eaten anyone all contributed to the fall of this film. To be quite honest i prefered the opening sequence in 'X-files the movie' where the Neanderthals hunt the alien-thing 10,000 years ago (real cave man action) to the entirety of this flick.

Not as bad as I was led to believe but still not great.

Fair enough, i'll be the one to go against the crowd then.
I hated Apocalypto, thought it was soulless, brainless and even the scenery couldnt save it from being another crap Mel Gibson ego project.

Apocalypto's also on my list (and my harddrive!).

I have to admit I also enjoyed Apocalypto. The cliches piled up higher and higher, until I was thinking "Hmm, all we need now is the waterfall, and the quicksand"

I wasn't disappointed. It was mindless fun, and the Mayan city was genuinely impressive.

See now I enjoyed Apocalypto for what it was - mental indian kills mental indians courtesy of an insane jew-hating wife abuser and son of a holocaust denier.

This I just have zero interest in, to the point I can't be arsed to download a dvd rip of it. Not for free will I see pretty cavemen fighting cgi

I'd quite like to see Apocalypto, that's supposed to be alright. We gave it a harsh review but I didn't write it. I think that's probably what they were going for with this, but with more white people and CG tigers and Lenny Kravitz haircuts.

When has a film about cavemen not sucked?
I thought this was a remake of the film with Raquel Welch and Ringo Star, now I'm just disappointed

This is on my list (yes, I actually keep a list) and, to be honest, am quite looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. A decent story would be a bonus but I'm not fussy.

After reading the reviews it's just as well, really!

No, they didn't build a real pyramid on-set. Slackers. It's like a really really nice cut-scene. Probably the best bit in the film, really.

I can't emphasise enough how rubbish the sabretooth tiger is. All he does is jump over things! Why have one in the film if he's not doing any goring? I want ANSWERS Roland Emmerich!

"One last-reel reveal, centred around the building of a pyramid, will take your breath away – the scale is simply audacious."

Is it an actual practical set? Otherwise it's just CGI, and I'll think "Nice graphics" ;D
