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

 Really really bad. Dont waste your time or money September 28, 2008
I was so excited to see this film and I had to watch it all the way through only because I was so shocked at how bad it was that I was certain it would turn a corner. It didnt.
 Somewhat Underwhelming September 24, 2008
I looked forward to watching this movie with great anticipation. Unfortunately, after viewing it, I felt like I had been cheated. I found the story somewhat difficult to follow, and I had a difficult time with the dialogue.
As for the movie's story, D'Leh (Steven Strait) is a young leader in his tribe. Despite his father's betrayal to the tribe years ago, D'Leh has risen to a rank of leadership. He has proven to be a fine hunter and is adept at handling a spear as well as hunting mastadons. He has grown to love Evolet (Camilla Belle), a young, blue-eyed woman who was taken in by the tribe. However, their dream of being together is shattered as the "four-legged demons" rampage through the camp and take hostages who are to become slaves in the serice of "the Almighty".
Throughout the film, D'Leh tracks the intruders who took his beloved Evolet. His journey takes him from the heights of mountains to the depths of the jungle, and across the desert. Along the way, D'Leh recruits the assistance of other peoples who have been put asunder by the almighty's minions. Ultimately, D'Leh and his army reach the stronghold of the Almighty and his followers. A great battle ensues, but will D'Leh and Evolet survive and finally be together?
Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with this film. There are some very good parts, including the mastadon hunt, the race to escape from the large ostrich-like birds, and the encounter with the saber-toothed tiger. But, unfortunately, these moments are cancelled out by many others that are not as good. I can only give this movie an average rating. If you're looking for a good film with loads of action, look somewhere else besides "10,000 B.C."
would not recommend September 24, 2008
this movie put me to sleep in the first 10 min.there were other parts that was confusing,i really did not get the whole movie,if you can not fall asleep put this movie in and i promise you will fall asleep
Bad, really bad September 22, 2008
I'm a little ticked off. I almost even went to the theater to see this movie! The special effects were okay, but the story line and plot? Three words: Bad, really bad.
item description is misleading and not as described September 20, 2008

I ordered this product because of the Aspect Ratio: 1.77:1 written on your description section. This means that this Blu Ray disc displays in full screen without the top and bottom horizontal black bars. To my frustration, this disc is a widescreen version with an Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1. I hate Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 because it doesn't display full screen. Your product description for this item is misleading. Please be more accurate in your product description. I really feel as if I wasted my money for an item i dislike in the first place. 10,000 B.C. [Blu-ray]
