A laughably absurd, albeit impressively mounted, effects movie, “10,000 B.C.” rewrites history with such ease that the uninformed will have no idea they are being duped, and those with some sense of history will undoubtedly be insulted. Unless you want an incomprehensible plot and gargantuan sabretooth tigers to entertain you. In that regard, the film is aces all the way around.

Writing this some time after seeing the film, I honestly remember very little about the plot. A refresher course of YouTube videos and clips reminds me all too well that this film is about a man rescuing his love from warlords who steal her on horseback. Not only must D’Leh (Steven Strait) rescue Evolet (Camilla Belle), but along the way he must also battle ridiculously large mammoths and tigers and bears oh my…

In all seriousness, many other films with lesser budgets have told the prehistoric tale better and with more engaging qualities than this big budget failure. Not one performance sticks with you and the plot is so simple and empty-headed that you could not possibly care less about anything happening on screen.

Those effects are pretty awesome though

Should I See It?

Visual effect films are your favorite kind of films, and you can marvel at the film in HD.

You could care less about plot or substance in your films.

That it wastes your time is not surprising. That it wastes so much money and effort expended to achieve so little is quite surprising.

Roland Emmerich proves yet again he is one consistently terrible filmmaker.
