This movie is garbage.

Absolutely agreed 100%

I mean its not a 10 but for a simple action fantasy its not that bad.

Historical inaccuracies aside, I love this film for the time period. I have a thing about Mammoths, and the Saber-Tooth cat was really cool. On that end, I take into account that this is a movie and not a documentary.

As far as the people and the acting...Well, I'm the camp of "it's so bad it's good." This is 10,000 year old cheese on a cracker, as one critic put it. It's just fun, and doesn't need to be any more than that.



Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you $50,000 for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul.

*characters have fake accents*
As opposed to actual mesolithic accents?

*speak obtusely for no particular reason*
They speak closely to natives living in a hunter gatherer society, how should they speak?

*Like why does anyone refer to the mammoths as "four-legged demons" when they already have a word for them?*
The four legged demons are the horses/horsemen not the mammoths.
Jesus.

*I don't know anything at all about the time period, but I know that it looked nothing like this*
How dumb are you

If you didn't like this movie, fine.
No one will force you to watch it ever again, so I guess that you managed to move along with your life.
This was only supposed to be a cheesy fantasy adventure.
So it was never meant to be a highbrow Oscar bait.
But if that was what you wanted, then I can see how you became disappointed by "10 000 BC".
I liked it well enough though for what it was back when I saw it.
Because I could just relax and go along with the ride.
The hate for this movie reminds me of how many people feel about Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker".
It was only a silly thing for kids, that MJ did to amuse himself and his youngest fans.
But people act as if they expected it to be some flawless Oscar-sweeping masterpiece for adults.
And I feel that "10 000 BC" has gotten a similar undeserved backlash.
Someone decided to make a cheesy fantasy movie about pre-historical hunter-gatherers just for the fun of it.
And nobody had promised anybody that they were making a documentary.
It is not even meant to be a "serious" movie, that will make much sense from a historical point of view.
But it seems like some people just can't accept that some movies are just supposed to be silly entertainment.

The writing is terrible, the acting is terrible, the story is terrible. The characters have fake accents and speak obtusely for no particular reason. Like why does anyone refer to the mammoths as "four-legged demons" when they already have a word for them? Everyone has perfect teeth and perfect dreads or shaved heads. The lazy makeup looks like someone smeared a bit of coal on the actors' faces.

I don't understand why anyone defends this movie. Even if you pretend that it's pure fantasy, it's just so obviously bad. I'm intensely aware that I'm watching bad actors speaking bad lines with bad accents. I'm completely unable to suspend my disbelief. I don't know anything at all about the time period, but I know that it looked nothing like this. It's not even bad in an entertaining way, it's just dumb.

Yeah it's pretty bad. I'm not even talking about the historical accuracy;anyone going into a Roland Emmerich movie expecting that is an idiot.

It's just badly written and directed. ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. has almost 4 decades of age on this movie but was far more entertaining.
