Summary: Fun if you are younger than 9
Comment: Truly a mishmash of misinformation and adventure, but I knew that before ordering. It's a gift for a
little boy. But the business end of the transaction was excellent.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Comment: I saw this movie when it first came out at the movie theater. This is an amazing film. Lots of action, and excellent graphics. I dont know why people rated this movie so badly.

Summary: Didn't any of you ever see Robinson Crusoe on Mars as a Kid?
Comment: I rented 10,000 BC when it first arrived on DVD, and I, without embarrassment, really enjoyed it! I had a couple of free coupons for Previously Viewed Movies at Blockbuster, so while browsing I came across this DVD at the local store and pounced on it like a big woolly mammoth! Upon checkout, the clerk asked me, "Have you seen this film?" I answered, "Yes, and I really liked it." She shook her head and said, "I have to agree with all the bad reviews; it's not even historically accurate." I don't know about the rest of you, but I grew up in the 60's and 70's and caught sci-fi movies from the 50's and 60's en masse, as well as King Kong, Godzilla and monster movies! None of those could ever be deemed historically accurate, but that's not why I watched them. They were entertaining as anything offered today, and my friends and I still engage in our memories of watching Saturday B movies back then! What FUN! Does anyone here remember "Robinson Crusoe on Mars?" An astronaut, crash lands on Mars, befriends a runaway slave whom he teaches English. Along the way they eat and drink from Mars surface (and breathe as well) along with their pet Monkey, Mona. Eventually, all three are rescued from the melting polar ice cap. It was a suspended fun journey of disbelief, and to this day I remember that film fondly. Ironically, I was reminded of the same fun journey of disbelief with "10,000 BC." I'll watch it again and again with all those other fun B movies I own. That's why I enjoy films!

Summary: Really really bad. Dont waste your time or money
Comment: I was so excited to see this film and I had to watch it all the way through only because I was so shocked at how bad it was that I was certain it would turn a corner. It didnt.

Summary: Somewhat Underwhelming
Comment: I looked forward to watching this movie with great anticipation. Unfortunately, after viewing it, I felt like I had been cheated. I found the story somewhat difficult to follow, and I had a difficult time with the dialogue.
As for the movie's story, D'Leh (Steven Strait) is a young leader in his tribe. Despite his father's betrayal to the tribe years ago, D'Leh has risen to a rank of leadership. He has proven to be a fine hunter and is adept at handling a spear as well as hunting mastadons. He has grown to love Evolet (Camilla Belle), a young, blue-eyed woman who was taken in by the tribe. However, their dream of being together is shattered as the "four-legged demons" rampage through the camp and take hostages who are to become slaves in the serice of "the Almighty".
Throughout the film, D'Leh tracks the intruders who took his beloved Evolet. His journey takes him from the heights of mountains to the depths of the jungle, and across the desert. Along the way, D'Leh recruits the assistance of other peoples who have been put asunder by the almighty's minions. Ultimately, D'Leh and his army reach the stronghold of the Almighty and his followers. A great battle ensues, but will D'Leh and Evolet survive and finally be together?
Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with this film. There are some very good parts, including the mastadon hunt, the race to escape from the large ostrich-like birds, and the encounter with the saber-toothed tiger. But, unfortunately, these moments are cancelled out by many others that are not as good. I can only give this movie an average rating. If you're looking for a good film with loads of action, look somewhere else besides "10,000 B.C."
