Confession#1: I have not seen the movieConfession#2: The routine check of reviews to decide about watching the movie left me rolling in laughter. critics have gone out of the way to lambast the movie. Here are some irresistible gems:

A visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic.


I cheered for the villains who were building a colossal civilization.


Worst of all, no one even gets eaten by the disappointingly tame saber-toothed tiger.

10,000 B.C. isn't only brain-dead, it's completely dead.

The mammoths are cool. The squealing killer ostriches, perhaps inspired
by 70 million-year-old Gigantoraptor fossils, are idiotic but... okay,
they're idiotic.

10,000 B.C. is a true disaster on every level, a derivative and sometimes incomprehensible mess.


[I] saith to you that I had a strangely good time, and whether that is from laughing at 10,000 B.C. or laughing with it I knoweth not, although I strongly suspect the former.


On a Neanderthal level, "10,000 B.C." works.


In the realm of heroic historical loincloth adventures, 10,000 is much less than 300.


The characters may speak English, but the narrative is gibberish.


One part Joseph Campbell hero quest, one part multi-culti morality tale, one part live-action Flintstones cartoon, 10,000 B.C. is finally every part just plain nuts.

...it's laughably bad, which means that if you can approach it as a
really stupid film you just might find yourself enjoying it.


If you thought 300 was silly, think of 10,000 BC as 33.333 times sillier.

Sets new standards for stupidity. This is like Uwe Boll with a budget.
This is the village idiot of movies.

While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least it's fun to think of
all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an
accurate historical record and get F's on their next pop quiz.

I have to give Emmerich credit for creating a film that's been funnier
than '27 Dresses' or 'Over Her Dead Body.'

If you are ten years old fan of video games with a short attention span
and no knowledge of history, you will love this movie. The further you
stray from these core qualifications, the less you will love it.

May indeed last until the end of time, kept alive in drinking games and
in history and geography classrooms on April Fool's Day.


This is actually a movie you forget while watching it.

This may well be the first prehistoric epic in which the liberal
deployment of such words as "oog," "agh" and "uck" would have actually
improved the screenplay considerably.

10,000 B.C. takes a prehistoric approach to storytelling.

The best acting comes from woolly mammoths, man-eating ostriches and a
saber-toothed tiger -- and those babies are digital.

My poor brain hung in there for as long as it could, but it lost its
grip during the giant chicken attack and I haven't seen it since.


Visually, historically and creatively, this film dishonors the year 10,000 B.C.
