10, 000 B.C. is a prehistoric love story, about a young man trying to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend.
The
movie begins with the great narrator Omar Sharif about the spirtings
and nature, that goes on forever & ever.which has no bearing on
what comes next.
The movie’s best feature is its massive
landscapes on this journey. And, so it is in 10, 000 B.C., where a
variety of off-the-rack plot points and generic heroic journeys are
decorated with computer-graphics like the mammoths and saber-toothed
tigers.
The trailer was really awesome with stunning visuals of mammoths and huge animals but that was the only good part of the movie.
This
is a film that makes you feel a bit uneasy as you watch it. It’s
probably because its story too unreal and not enough fantasy, that and
many of the action scenes and plot points we’ve seen before in other
films.
There’s just nothing to justify a big screen viewing
- and that’s a disappointment considering that this was suppose to be
a grand historical piece action film.
Roland Emmerich is up to
his old tricks with this one. For those of you that have no idea who
Emmerich is, he’s the guy that brought such deliciously bland classics
as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow etc.
I think Ice Age is better.
