10,000 B.C.

I ordered this product because of the Aspect Ratio: 1.77:1 written on your description section. This means that this Blu Ray disc displays in full screen without the top and bottom horizontal black bars. To my frustration, this disc is a widescreen version with an Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1. I hate Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 because it doesn't display full screen. Your product description for this item is misleading. Please be more accurate in your product description. I really feel as if I wasted my money for an item i dislike in the first place. 10,000 B.C. [Blu-ray]

Wow. This was actually a script that somebody wrote? And worse, got paid for? I've read better stories on the back of a shampoo bottle. "Wash, rinse, repeat."

At 50 minutes into the film, I had to turn it off. I didn't care one bit about any of the characters and I certainly didn't care for the nonexistent storyline.

The only positives that this film had were the animated sequences with the primitive creatures such as woolly mammoths. But those were few and far between. The Discovery Channel offers better depictions of life during prehistoric eras.

I felt like this movie was trying to be an epic with it's scenary and story of generations and love and loss, but it was just empty. No where near enough real character development. I felt little attachment to any of the characters. My husband wanted to see this movie for months and he was so disappointed that he wanted our rental fee back. I'm so glad I didn't buy it for him.

Saw this with my sweety and even though it was fun to laugh at it was like laughing at a video of someone's coffin falling out of a hearse. Funny at first but in fact not funny.

10,000 B.C. follows the character of D'Leh (Steven Strait), a member of a mountain-living tribe that makes their living from hunting mastodons. D'Leh's father was the tribe's chief, but left the tribe and abandoned his family many years ago because of a prophecy. D'Leh becomes an outcast. Years later, because of his skills as a hunter and his sacrificial nature, D'Leh becomes a leader in his tribe. The tribe is attacked by a group of warrior horsemen who take many captives, including the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle), D'Leh's fiancé. D'Leh sets forth on a dangerous journey south to rescue his tribemates. His journey takes him from the plains, through the jungle, and across the desert. He comes face to face with a saber-tooth tiger, is stalked by giant-lizard birds, and is joined by others who have lost friends and family to the invading horsemen. Their journey culminates at Giza, Egypt. It is there that D'Leh meets his destiny and fulfills a prophecy given years before.

The first thirty-minutes of 10, 000 B.C. moves rather slow. Many films have a slow beginning because this is when filmmakers usually attempt to give whatever exposition they need for the story to progress. 10, 000 B.C. moves at a much slower rate than usual. Once the exposition is set, the movie rockets forward.

I enjoyed watching 10,000 B.C. I thought it was good for what it was, a complete mind-candy movie without any moral, message, or teachable moment. The majority of complaints made about the film is that it is completely historical inaccurate. I won't argue with anyone about that, but that's kind of the point of the whole movie. The film was directed by Roland Emmerich, a director who's not known for staying true to historical accuracy or real-life plausibility. It's just fun to watch people, mastodons, saber-toothed tigers, dinosaurs, and advanced Egyptian (alien?) technology come together in a fun, entertaining, and imaginative way on the screen. Also, for as much action that happens in the film, one would think that the movie is not kid-friendly. That is not the case. 10,000 B.C. is filled with action and some minor scenes of violence, but there is no gushing blood, no foul language, and no sex.

Recommended for children and their parents and anyone who can suspend their disbelief and wants to watch a fun movie.
