Editorial Review: Product Description: The filmmaker who launched a UFO invasion in Independence Day and unleashed the forces of global warming in The Day After Tomorrow now unveils a new day of adventure a time when mammoths shake the earth and mystical spirits shape human fates. Roland Emmerich directs 10000 BC the eye-filling tale of the first hero. That hero is young hunter D?Leh (Steven Strait) set out on a bold trek to rescue his kidnapped beloved (Camilla Belle) and fulfill his prophetic destiny. He?ll face an awesome saber-toothed tiger. Cross uncharted realms. Form an army. And uncover an advanced but corrupt Lost Civilization. There he will lead a fight for liberation ? and become the champion of the time when legend began.System Requirements:Running Time: 109 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/HEROES Rating: PG-13 UPC: 085391139683 Manufacturer No: 1000023986 Amazon.com: 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 neighbor 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 moviemaking. --Richard T. Jameson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not quite a Jurrasic Park, but . . .WANT A PREHISTORIC LOVE STORY WITH SOME INTERESTING VISUALS ? WELL THIS WILL GET YOU THERE. ALTHOUGH NOT A GREAT MOVIE, IT DEFINITELY HAS SOME CHARM. WORTH A WATCH AT LEAST. WE'VE HAD "1,000,000 BC" (MID-1960'S) AND NOW "10,000 BC". MAYBE "100,000 BC" WILL BE A HIT AND NOT STRIKE 3. Rating: - 10000 BC10,000 B.C. [Blu-ray]Movie is pretty good special effects okay Jurassic park much better, not as good as exspected. Rating:  - Great as a comedy!I was over my parent's home and they had rented this from the library (older folks are so adorable) so I figured I would watch it. I think we had more fun watching this movie than we have in a long time. We were literally hysterically laughing at times. If you go into this movie thinking of it as a comedy .. man .. what a riot. The bad guys hair .. lol .. fool looked like Dean Martin or something. Rating: - Could Have Been So Much BetterFirst off, I did enjoy the movie. It wasn't fantastic by any stretch of the imagination, but it kept my attention. The special effects were well done (loved the sabretooth cat) and the costumes and score reflected the tone of the film. However, as many other reviewers have noted, the movie was almost plodding until the last 20 minutes and relied too heavily upon several convenient prophecies to propel the thin plot. While I was hoping for something along the lines of The Scorpion ...

His journey will take him to foreign lands where he will meet exotic peoples, frightening creatures, and mysterious cultures. What awaits at the end of his travels, however, may be more than he bargained for... There are slight hints of Conan, Mad Max, the Last of the Mohicans, ...
