Amazon.co.uk Review

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 neighbour 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 movie-making. --Richard T. Jameson

4.0 out of 5 stars I Loved This Movie, 29 Jul 2008
By Wael M. Hazzazi "Saudi..." (Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
ok, alot of people watched this movie and gave it really bad reviews, you can see that in the reviews here in amazon and u can also see it in the IMDB rating...however, I bought this movie and watched it...

I really enjoyed the story, its nice and it keeps you wanting more...it also looks amazing on blu-ray...if u r the kind who only watched a movie for action and thrills then most probably u wont like the movie, but if u r into a nice story with great special effects, then this movie is for u...
I give this movie a 4/5 stars and i recommend it for blu-ray fans, if ur not gonna buy it, rent it and check it out atleast...

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie of epic proportions - excellent story and action sequences, 31 Aug 2008
By Richard Jagdhar "radolphin entertainment" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is undoubtedly a movie of epic proportion and in my opinion it delivers exactly that. It's absolutely cram packed with action, tension and the ingredients that makes movies into blockbusters. The SFX is out of this world, and ironically it's about our world, but centres on a period of time where there is little or no factual history - little over 12,000 years. It's an amazing perspective vision of Roland Emmerich and Harald Kloser that creates a world that holds potential answers to some of the mysteries; such as the evolution of the pyramids and the advance civilisations that lived beyond their time.

The story about a primitive tribe called the Yagahl and a young boy called D'Leh; a young hunter who's abandoned by his father and grows up with his childhood love Evolet (Camilla Belle).

When a group of mysterious marauders ravage through the Yagahl village and kidnaps members of their tribe, including Evolet, D'Leh and a hunting party set-off on a quest to rescue them. Their journey is filled with danger as he encounters some prehistoric animals such as killer birds, and sabre-toothed tigers. His quest leads him and his party beyond the mountains where they encounter different evolved civilisations and tribes. He later discovers that his people and many more taken from other tribes are forced to work as slaves in building the great pyramids. D'Leh begins to mount an army to conquer the gods who have imprisoned his people, and bring down the tyranny before them all.

It's an action packed, visual experience that does it self justice. I could watch this movie more than once, and award it full marks, for creativeness, effects, storyline and the ability to make you think.

3.0 out of 5 stars What was wrong with it?, 5 May 2009
I must be missing something. This is the 3rd movie in a row now I've watched that's been absolutely slated by the critics and yet when I've watched it I'm thinking ???! What was wrong with it?
I was'nt going t buy it, but seeing as HMV had it for £6.99 I thought I'd give it a try.
First thing I was surprised at was it's 'real' and not a CGI movie like Beowulf. Dont know why but I thought this was an animated film.
Apart from that I thought the film was a really good adventure. The actual plot is almost a direct copy of Apocalypto, but without the gore level, and also with a smattering of dinosaurs thrown in. It was a nice change too from seeing Raptors and T-Rex's to seeing Mammoths, Sabre Tooth Tigers and the big bird things (not Sesame Street).

The kids enjoyed it too, which (rant start) is probably where all these negative reviews spring from. Perhaps middle aged single men who think Gore Fest Horror is the best thing you can watch should'nt be writing reviews for movies that are more 'young people' orientated. I think if the film is aimed at a family perhaps it should be reviewed by one. (rant over)
Anyway, as said, the kids liked it too. It's not filled with explosions and car chases, but is more about the determination of a hunter to return his kidnapped tribes people and love back home (told you it was like Apocalypto, even down to the Aztec's at the end).
Blu Ray quality was very good. pleanty of snowscapes and deserts to show off the quality. I did'nt notice much in the sound though.
