Confession#1: I have not seen the movie
Confession#2: The routine check of reviews to decide about watching the
movie left me rolling in laughter. critics have gone out of the way to
lambast
the movie. Here are some irresistible gems:
A visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic.
I cheered for the villains who were building a colossal civilization.
Worst of all, no one even gets eaten by the disappointingly tame saber-toothed tiger.
10,000 B.C. isnt only brain-dead, its
completely dead.
The mammoths are cool. The squealing killer ostriches, perhaps inspired
by 70 million-year-old Gigantoraptor fossils, are idiotic but... okay,
theyre idiotic.
10,000 B.C. is a true disaster on every level, a derivative and sometimes incomprehensible mess.
[I] saith to you that I had a strangely good time, and whether that is from laughing at
10,000 B.C. or laughing with it I knoweth not, although I strongly suspect the former.
On a Neanderthal level, "10,000 B.C." works.
In the realm of heroic historical loincloth adventures,
10,000 is much less than
300.
The characters may speak English, but the narrative is gibberish.
One part Joseph Campbell hero quest, one part multi-culti morality tale, one part live-action
Flintstones cartoon,
10,000 B.C. is finally every part just plain nuts.
...its laughably bad, which means that if you can approach it as a
really stupid film you just might find yourself enjoying it.
If you thought
300 was silly, think of
10,000 BC as 33.333 times sillier.
Sets new standards for stupidity. This is like Uwe Boll with a budget.
This is the village idiot of movies.
While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least its fun to think of
all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an
accurate historical record and get Fs on their next pop quiz.
I have to give Emmerich credit for creating a film thats been funnier
than 27 Dresses or Over Her Dead Body.
If you are ten years old fan of video games with a short attention span
and no knowledge of history, you will love this movie. The further you
stray from these core qualifications, the less you will love it.
May indeed last until the end of time, kept alive in drinking games and
in history and geography classrooms on April Fools Day.
This is actually a movie you forget while watching it.
This may well be the first prehistoric epic in which the liberal
deployment of such words as "oog," "agh" and "uck" would have actually
improved the screenplay considerably.
10,000 B.C. takes a prehistoric approach to storytelling.
The best acting comes from woolly mammoths, man-eating ostriches and a
saber-toothed tiger -- and those babies are digital.
My poor brain hung in there for as long as it could, but it lost its
grip during the giant chicken attack and I havent seen it since.
Visually, historically and creatively, this film dishonors the year 10,000 B.C.
