10,000 B.C. ( 2008 )




[ Oh, isn't this against the bible's Genisis story? It's funny the Church did not react on this unlike in The Da Vinci Code. :) ]

Ever wonder what man was like during the prehistoric times?

Set in the Mesolithic period, 10,000 B.C. follows D'Leh (Steven Strait), an accidental hero(ala Moses) who traveled vast land to save his blue-eye Evolet (Camilla Belle) and Tribe. A lot of trials came upon D'leh's journey. Too many accidents, that made him more "Hero".

No movie put too much emphasis on "Accidental hero" more than this one. Everything he does seem to fall right into place. "Destiny"? Ask the movie. Another thing, why does their old woman have powers and the rich and powerful pyramid people's Priest have none? Is this a double meaning thing?

These issues aside (including the 10,000 B.C. C.G.'s), the plot and script is good. None of those cheezy lines and flowering quotes. Just plain ol' English. The artists were great in their roles. This movie can be compared to old biblical movies like "Exodus" with a pinch of 21st century technology.

In other words, plain and simple.

Review :
Rotten Tomatoes : 2/10
ImDB : 5.6/10
