    Once upon a time, I wrote a detailed review about this crappy film. Mysteriously, it has disappeared off Flixster. I kind of wish this movie would have disappeared during production. But anyways, here's my review in a nutshell since I can't remember details:

    Like Emmerichs previous films, I knew not to expect anything serious, this was gonna be pure popcorn, and its not that bad popcorn either. Emmerich always produces good fun films and this is another good example. The plot is sooooooo very done before haha and the cast are rather ... ...( read more )

    the obvious historical innaccuracies are a huge black mark for this film, and it had its rediculous moments, but i couldnt help but enjoy this film a lot. im usually more into the intelligence of a film and this was more action and eye candy than intelligent, but i had a lot of ... ...( read more )

    There was so much publicity for this film that I really felt I had missed something spectacular when I didn't get to see it at the cinema. At last I got round to renting the DVD and am now most pleased that I didn't get the chance to see it at the cinema. Weak characters perfor... ...( read more )

    the movie is nothing spectacular. it wouldve been pretty special if it had been released before apocalypto.
    although the time lapse in the storylines of the 2 movies also stretches into milleniums, the raw feeling of almost bein there creatred in apocalypto has set too high a st... ...( read more )

Armond White, The New York Press

It's all just F/X opportunities, exposing Hollywood's -- and our own -- non-relationship to history. full review

March 7, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Even a cameo by Pauly Shore in Encino Man would liven up this bombastic bore. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

10,000 BC would be much better if it allowed itself the freedom to be kitsch. full review

March 7, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The best acting comes from woolly mammoths, man-eating ostriches and a saber-toothed tiger -- and those babies are digital. It's the human actors who look fake. full review

March 7, 2008
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

The mammoths are cool. The squealing killer ostriches, perhaps inspired by ancient phorusrhacid fossils, are idiotic but... okay, they're idiotic. full review

March 7, 2008
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

If you thought 300 was silly, think of 10,000 BC as 33.333 times sillier. full review

March 7, 2008
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

[I] saith to you that I had a strangely good time, and whether that is from laughing at 10,000 B.C. or laughing with it I knoweth not, although I strongly suspect the former. full review

March 7, 2008
Kurt Loder, MTV

More than anything else, though, the movie recalls the overblown Hollywood biblical epics of the 1950s, with all their attendant anachronisms and free-floating cheese. full review

March 6, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

In the realm of heroic historical loincloth adventures, 10,000 is much less than 300. full review

March 6, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

It's best not to think too hard about anything in 10,000 BC, a sublimely dunderheaded excursion into human prehistory. full review

    Okay you know what? I refuse to believe anyone thought this was a good movie, even after seeing some 4 and 5 star ratings on here. I don't hate it just because of its historical inaccuracy. I hate it because it is AWFUL! And don't try telling someone if they take it for what it is (entertainment)it will be good. Because IT IS NOT GOOD even taken on that level! It's BORING if you look at it like that. This is by far the worst movie of 2008. I can't trust your taste in movies if you like this. I will tell you all this...if you thought this was a good movie...WATCH MORE MOVIES!!!

    Wow, was this a waste of time, energy and money. I do rely on movies to have a degree of historical accuracy - what bothers me is that some people will take this as truth.

    Besides the acting, which was astonishingly bad.

    And the poster had nothing to do with anything.

    and the two leads seemed awfully clean and beautiful for such rough times.

    and... well, I could go on forever like this. But mostly it was just plain BAD.
