10,000 B.C.
0.5 stars out of 5
10,000 B.C. was the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I kid you not. Advertised as the “epic” of our time I walked in to the theatres with my friends expecting a good solid 3 hours of non stop, mammoth chasing, sabre-tooth tiger fighting action. You can only imagine my anger when I realized that it was not in fact anything like I thought it would be.
Imagine you buy tickets to a Clapton concert. Then they cancel it. That’s how let down I was.
Instead of pure action, I got a corny and completely unbelievable love story and a chase after the enemy so the “hero” could save his girlfriend. Sort of reminiscent to the chase after those bad guys in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers but at least we had that dwarf dude for comic relief. The fighting was totally lame too, it wasn’t even entertaining.
The only kick I got of the movie were those Priest people with those long nails. Hahaha they tried to escape with a boat. Obviously you’re going to die. It takes a good 20 minutes to get the ship at full speed. You think those guys with swords and spears will just wait for you to get ready?
So all in all, I definitely don’t recommend this movie. I thought it was horribly put together, the whole idea behind it COULD have been amazing but it failed miserably. The acting was repugnant. The visuals were an OK for me but could have been a lot better. I was expecting way more from the same guys that made 300. Overall I give this movie about ½ a star out of 5. The visuals are the only thing that was at least slightly ok. So yeah, don’t see this movie.
