10,000 BC (2008)
Our Rating:
May 11, 2008
Rarely does a movie that is so promoted and so big fail to garner so little from the critics. With a massive 9% on Rotten Tomatoes you shouldn’t expect anything great at all from this film. The guy(Roland Emmerich) that has made such duds as The Day After Tomorrow and Godzilla returns with this love story that takes place during the time when the last of the dinosaurs were ruling the earth. In a remote mountain tribe D’Leh has fallen in love with Evolet. But when a small group of warlords raid the village and kidnap Evolet D’Leh gathers a small group of hunters and travels to the end of the world to save her.
Yep, that’s it. Hopefully you weren’t expecting anything too Jurassic Park-y because you won’t find it. This is a straight love story with a few dinosaurs involved, but it’s not the cool ones. You’ll find Wooly Mammoths and some Terradactyls but that’s about it. Don’t even talk about it being historically accurate either. 10,000 BC was right at the end of the ice age and Sabertooth tigers were already extinct by then. Overall this movie is pretty terrible. Not only is it historically inaccurate but I didn’t care about the characters at all. Each of them could have been eaten by a Dilophasaurus(which doesn’t appear) and I would have been happy.
