DVD Reviews of 10,000 B.C.DVD Review: Love it Summary: 5 StarsIm sorry i didnt send you feedback sonner thank you so much i love this movie i watched it about 5 times and of course in HD BluRay and DTS sound its just amazing!!
DVD Review: Just bad. Summary: 1 StarsThis could have been a so-bad-that-its-good movie. Unfortunately, it's just bad. Stay far, far away.
DVD Review: Ok but a bit too much creative license Summary: 2 StarsEffects good. acting VeryGood, characters good. Story line.... a bit out of the ordinary, mixing multiple timelines and histories into a mini epic. Creative but ultimately a little weird
DVD Review: Mostly atrocious Summary: 2 StarsThis is, essentially, a terrible movie. No plot, cheesey CGI, and poor action scenes doom this to obscurity. The only saving grace (and hence a second star) is some of the landscape scenery, but even this is lessened by the characters jumping from snowy mountaintops to steamy jungle to arid desert in about 5 minutes of walking. Anachronisms abound, and even if you turn off your brain (a prerequisite for making it through the movie) it just isn't that good. The hokey happy ending sealed the deal and left all in attendance rolling their eyes. Give this one a pass.
DVD Review: good Summary: 3 StarsI like it but not enough to buy it, but my son wanted me to buy it.
Description of 10,000 B.C.The filmmaker who launched a UFO invasion in Independence Day and unleashed the forces of global warming in The Day After Tomorrow now unveils a new day of adventure, a time when mammoths shake the earth and mystical spirits shape human fates. Roland Emmerich directs 10,000 BC, the eye-filling tale of the first hero. That hero is young hunter D'Leh (Steven Strait), set out on a bold trek to rescue his kidnapped beloved (Camilla Belle) and fulfill his prophetic destiny. He'll face an awesome saber-toothed tiger. Cross uncharted realms. Form an army. And uncover an advanced but corrupt Lost Civilization. There, he will lead a fight for liberation - and become the champion of the time when legend began. To anyone who has ever yearned to see woolly mammoths in full stampede across the Alps, 10,000 BC can be heartily recommended. There's also a flock of "terror birds"--lethal ostriches on steroids--in a steaming jungle only a splice away from the heroes' snow-dusted alpine habitat. And lo, somewhere in the vastness of the North African desert lies a city whose slave inhabitants alternately teem like the crowds in Quo Vadis during the burning of Rome and trudge in hieratically menacing formations like the workers in Metropolis. That's pretty much it for the cool stuff. Setting movies in prehistoric times is dicey. Apart from the "Dawn of Man" sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey, only Quest for Fire makes the grade, and its creators had the good sense to limit the dialogue to grunts and moans. 10,000 BC boasts a quasi-biblical narrator (Omar Sharif) and characters who speak in formed, albeit uninteresting, sentences--including a New Age-y "I understand your pain." But let no one say the storytelling isn't primitive. The narrator speaks of "the legend of the child with the blue eyes" and bingo, here's the kid now. When, grown up to be Camilla Belle, she's carried off by "four-legged demons"--guys on horseback to you--the neighbor boy (Steven Strait) who hankers to make myth with her leads a rescue mission into the great unknown world beyond their mountaintop. His name is D'Leh, which is Held, the German for "knight," spelled backward. So yes, there is some hidden meaning after all. 10,000 BC is the latest triumph of the ersatz from writer-director Roland Emmerich. Like Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996), and The Day After Tomorrow (2004) before it, it's shamelessly cobbled together out of every movie Emmerich can remember to pilfer from (though to be fair, the section in pre-ancient Egypt harks back to his own Stargate). Emmerich's saving grace is that his films' cheesiness is so flagrant, his narratives so geared for instant gratification, he can seem like a kid simultaneously improvising and acting out a story in his backyard: "P'tend there's this alien ... p'tend maybe he came from Atlantis or something...." Just don't p'tend it has anything to do with real moviemaking. --Richard T. Jameson
