Helio There is nothing like an old fashioned slave revolt story to get you cheering. The first time I saw this film I liked it except for the part about the pyramids. They weren't around then - or were they? It got me researching and it turns out we don't really know when they were built - one millenia is as good as another. The brillant idea of mammoths used in construction explains a lot - it kind of makes sense! However I wasn't looking for historical accuracy just some entertainment. As for them speaking English in the movie - I was glad for that to enabling understanding. I wouldn't begrudge them dubbing it in other languages in other countries. Great scenery but the CGI was so so on the second viewing.

benjamindbridgeman I went into this fully expecting and looking for brain candy. This film is the black licorice of brain candy.

Python Hyena 10, 000 BC (2008): Dir: Roland Emmerich / Cast: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Joel Virgel, Marco Khan: Disappointing visual feast about lifestyles of ages ago. A savage tribe captures people for slavery. An outcast whose father once brandished the sacred white spear hopes to form an army. Great idea that becomes too ridiculous right up to a conclusion where a mammoth brings someone back to life in some sort of spiritual CPR. Directed by Roland Emmerich whose previous big budget embarrassments include Independence Day and Godzilla. Sure, those films were successful but that just means that suckers are born with every marketing effort. He relies totally on visual elements to sell such as a tremendous mammoth hunting sequence. The tribe speaks English and they are played by actors who look nothing like tribesmen. It's as if the producers lifted them out of a costume party and put wigs on them. It is the highest form of laziness in a film. Steven Strait and Camilla Belle are the bunt of a bad joke. Straight is somehow able to buddy up to a saber-tooth cat. Another five minutes and it's certain they would be sharing a beer together. To bad he didn't buddy up to a better screenwriter. Belle is ridiculous with her blue eyes and an image that resembles nothing of any tribe. Only Cliff Curtis passes the test as Straight's mentor. Displaying prehistoric lifestyles fails miserably. Score: 4 ½ / 10

Rainey Dawn I do not care if there are anachronisms or not in this film - it's good! I found it to be an interesting story with beautiful mammoth sized cinematography. The way the movie is filmed it looks as if the film-makers were going for an Epic and they did it by my standards.I love the "Hyborian Age" type of films. It's a world of fantasy, sword and sorcery, barbarians and other magical ideas. "10,000 BC" does fit somewhat well into this category.If you loved the "Conan" films(1982 or 2011) or enjoy movies with a caveman theme like "Missing Link (1988) " and " Iceman (1984)" then you might like the movie "10,000 BC".I believe this movie is rated way to poorly - badly underrated on IMDb.8.5/10
