10,000 B.C. Movie Review
With attention strictly paid to style instead of substance, or historical accuracy, 10,000 B.C. is a visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic
– rotten tomatoes –
Yes, 10,000 B.C. will open huge this weekend. Emmerich has a taste for cheesy entertainment. I adored Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. So, lured by Warner Bros.’ potent marketing campaign, I demanded to see this movie
– thompson on hollywood –
10,000 BC should get serious consideration for one of the worst movies of the year and might even be a contender for a prestigious Razzie Award
– empire movies –
Mr. Emmerich has made something of a specialty in staging — with maximal bombast and minimal coherence — end-of-the-world scenarios
– the new york times –
This movie has a subplot about a father-son relationship that adds nothing to the film but a sense of emotional cheesiness
– canada.com –
It’s unfortunate that the filmmakers didn’t truly create an innovative look into prehistoric life - in fact, it’s pretty unimaginative
– edgeboston –
There are moments of genuine mourning, honest laughter and courage that work nicely because of good performances by Strait and Curtis

As a night out for teens and young adults, writer-director Roland Emmerich’s “10,000 B.C.” has its merits as both an action-fantasy film and a coming-of-age story that advocates thinking beyond the id. Plus, it boasts some serious eye candy
– recordonline –
The film’s heart is in its throwback innocence, its determinedly old-fashioned story of a young love that will not die and a young man who is a hero in the making but doesn’t know it
– calendarlive.com –
“10,000 B.C” looks pretty good, and the computer-animated beasts are OK (the killer chickens are even better than that), but there’s not an interesting character to be seen, and the dialogue by Emmerich and Harald Kloser is like the awful stuff they used to make Indians speak in old Westerns

You’ll hate this movie. See something else
– cinemablend –
‘10,000 B.C.’ is wild, woolly - and pretty dumb
