slambozzio Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I haven't seen it yet but i'm pretty keen to. The trailers of it look pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This is written and directed by Roland Emmerich, who also wrote and directed "Independence Day," "Godzilla" and "The Day After Tomorrow." That would suggest that this movie has a good chance of having pretty good special effects but no soul, with weak dialogue. The only movie directed by him that's worth watching more than once is "The Patriot" (which was not written by him, not surprisingly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erebus Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) I saw it yesrday here in Oz. I know that some critics have not been kind, but to my mind it's just the tall poppy syndrome rearing its ugly head. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. The effects are indeed great, especially the mammoths. There is a plot, and whilst fairly simple (hey, it's 10,000 BC, what do you expect?) it is certainly adequate and defintely not confusing, as I read in one review. Do these critics ever really watch the movies, or does the size of their own egos block the screen? Anyway, if you like a good Jean Auel type adventure with some great action scenes and pretty good CGI, together with a bit of romance, mystery and angst, then it's well worth a look.

Lady April Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 If i can find anyone with balls enough to be alone with my daughter for a few hours this weekend I really want to go and see this movie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sark Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I saw it and I thought it was okay. It was kind of a mix of Stargate, Conan the Barbarian, and Clan of the Cave Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 O.K. But is it as good as One Million Years B.C.? http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/54/039_14209~Raquel-Welch-Posters.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Death Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The trailers make it look pretty damn run of the mill to me... plus I don't like any of Emmerich's other films. With the exception of maybe the Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I remember reading Clan Of The Cave Bear and thought it was dreadful, peurile rubbish, so I will probably hate this...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-D-RocK- Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Looks like a modern version of Carl Gottlieb's Caveman starring Ringo Starr. I think it'll be dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodys hero Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I saw it and it did have good special affects. The whole plot was silly, I mean how many men (cavemen or not) would travel all over the world to find his cavewoman and bring her home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Artagnan Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 QUOTE (Snowman @ Mar 13 2008, 02:16 AM) Anyone seen this movie? Is it any good? It depends on your expectations out of it. If you take it for what it is, a high-budget popcorn movie, it's pretty "good". Nothing more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
