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:  - Ruined Blu Ray for me.I only bought this movie because I didn't get to see it in theaters and thought it would be nice to see on Blu-Ray. Like most people, I thought this thing was so boring. The mish-mash of Native American grammar (white rain) and Klingon hunting rituals made this movie just dumb. Manny the Mammoth from Ice Age looked better than the mammoths in this movie. But that didn't ruin Blu-Ray for me. It was early on in the scene where the main character is telling the girl with the blue eyes about Venus. ...

Own it, rent it - whatever; it's fun to watch Rating:  - 10,000 bcthe review for this movie us a bit under rated it was a enjoyable movie 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. |
