10,000 B.C.


10,000 B.C. is 10,000 reasons to do something else besides watch this movie.

Rating: PG-13 for choppy action and not really much else.

A movie about a chosen one who is supposed to save his people from the "four legged demons". The movie follows the path of a man whose girlfriend is kidnapped, his venture to save her, and his daring rescue. In spite of his social inabilities and his lack of charisma, he gains a huge following of warriors who agree to fight with him to save his woman. The movie reaches its climax when the credits begin to roll.
You will have to force yourself to look over the plot holes if you want to enjoy the movie at all.

Highlights:
Some cool mammoths and a sabertooth tiger.
The confusion between characters is solved when one of the two main characters is killed

Disappointments:
Poor writing, easily forgettable.
Action scenes were weak.
The sabertooth was only on screen for a total of 45 seconds.
The only character name we can even remember is "old mother".


Recommendation: Watch it only if you are ready for a "made for tv movie". Do not expect to recognize any of the actors, or for that matter tell one from the other.
