    Not good, but not absolutely terrible

    I really thought this movie was going to be better than it was. While I liked the fact that the main male lead was willing to risk it all for his one true love, the movie other than that just didn't do it for me. The plot really isn't that good, although there's not any bad language or sex in the movie which makes up for it a tiny bit.

    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    Awful movie about cavemen???

    WORST MOVIE. The violence is mild and a pointless reason to rate it PG-13. Really dumb.

    Boring!

    There is a great deal of fighting, but the movie is boring! I watched it with my 3 year old and he was talking about elephants-mammoths. I was only worried he's be scared that the animals would be killed, not the people.

    Enjoyable

    I will agree that this movie is not historically relevant, but that doesn't mean it's bad. First of all, how many people would you think would go see this movie if it was in some ancient Aztec language? I think the movie directors had them speak English for a reason. Anyway, I thought this was a pretty enjoyable movie. It was fun to watch, and I loved seeing all of the places and costumes. I don't see why everyone hated it so much... but I would give this movie 3 1/2 stars, dispite it being historically incorrect.

    Different movie than the trailer made it look, but still a decent film...

    Well, it was a much different movie than the trailer made it look, but it was still an enjoyable movie. The violence was too much for a PG-13, I thought, but nowhere near an R. I reccomend this movie for teens 13 and up

    I enjoyed this.

    I know this has gotten really terrible reviews, but honestly, this movie is exactly what the previews promised that it would be. If you were expecting anything else, then you didn't really watch the previews.

    Complete Rip-off

    Was expecting some insight into characters adapting in a historical context, instead we got not-very-well-done soap opera with sappy special effects, no character development and unlikely storyline. If it had been titled something like, " Mark of the Hunter", then it would have been consistent and reasonable. Really, really disappointing.

    a poor joke of about history

    This movie is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I felt like I should spit to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Somebody spent a lot of time with computer animation but it is wasted on this movie. The prehistoric characters speak better English than most Americans. People who wrote history would turn over in their graves.

    Great!

    I dont get why people don't like this movie is awesome and so what if they got the year 10000 B.C. wrong forget the title. I think most people will enjoy this movie if you forget the title!! Great movie otherwise. Cool special effects

    Terrible, big disappointment!!

    This movie was a big disappointment! The trailer makes it seem like this great movie with all kinds of pre-historic animals and something exciting. It had only one scene ( well another tiny one ) with the Saber Tooth tiger that lasted about 30 seconds to a minute ... all the wooly mammoths were cool, but that was it. Aside from those small scenes it was nothing but bad acting and a plotless love story. I was looking forward to something much better! Dont waste your time, maybe on a rental if you are bored!

    10,000 B.C. (Basic Cavemen)

    Yet another film where Guy meets Girl and wants to win here effection. Has to work very hard to save her. The setting is 10,000 B.C., but it could have been set in any era. Not sure if the film is true to the real conditions of 10,000 B.C., so don't expect to learn anything about the time. Didn't realize how many people know English at the time. (Not)

    Cave men should not be subjected to this!

    I was not quite sure what to expect with this movie, but disappointment was not on my list. The movie lacks any relevance what so ever. I guess maybe a coming of age movie? Not really. Other then their encounter with the birds, I spent the majority of my time wondering when it would finally be over. If you want to see a good prehistoric flick, spend your cash on renting Quest for Fire, or if you like action stick to the Jurassic Park series (except # 2)

    Not inapropriate. Just bad.

    This movie was awful and no one of any age should waste money on it. It looked like some sort of prehistoric Lord of the Rings, but the story sucked, the acting sucked, and had little to nothing to do with prehistoric times (adding prehistoric animals < making up everything else.) Just stupid, avoid it.

    10,000 B.C. is a bore but there is nothing inappropriate for kids.

    10,000 B.C. is a very mild film. The violence isn't a big issue but it's still concerning. There is no blood nor gore but there is a lot of intense action here. The language is extremely mild and there's hardly any here considering this is PG-13. There is no drugs/smoking in the film. There is no nudity, no sex, no sexual innuendo, no sexual references. Basically no sexual content. Overall don't worry about 10,000 B.C. being PG-13. It's very mild.

    I was suprised....

    I read some reviews about this movie on IMDb.com before the movie came out. They said that the movie was bad and "sadly, the special effects were the highlights of the movie." Since usually when critics say a movie is bad, the movie ends up being really good, I thought the movie would be good. This is probably the only time I will agree with Common Sense's rating. This movie was BAD. I was anticipating it to be well-made because the director of this movie directed two of the greatest movies of all time: THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW and INDEPENDENCE DAY. I was surprised that this film was so below my expectations. The stroy, bad guies kidnap the main character's true love and, conviently, an army of people trtavels with him to save he, even though he has no influence on their tribe. It was pretty violent and there was a little bit of blood, but now sex or language. One of the cool parts of the movie, though, was at the end when they launch the final attack to save his girlfriend, the hide some spears in the sand. They free some slaves and then they attack. There are a couple funny-action parts, too. I would only recommend this movie for those going into graphic designing or special effects because the special effects were AMAZING. You caould have mistaken the saber-toothed tiger for real!!!!!

    this movie was just alright. i was expecting all this amazing action. it was so obvious when the sabertooth tiger came it was extremely obvious it was animated. there is some graphic sequences of violence. the whole movie is a love story. the man is on a hunt for his girlfriend. they share a passionate kiss at the end of the movie. the also hug alot. no language or drugs at all in this movie. don't spend your money on this movie just go to blockbuster and rent a better movie for less money.

    If you thought BEOWULF was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet...

    With every awesome/popular historical actioner like 300 comes a really crappy movie that tries to bank off of said good movie. I am talking about, of course, 10,000 BC, the first REALLY bad movie of 2008 AD. The more I think about this movie, the more I hate it. As someone else here mentioned earlier, the marketing for this suck-fest is ingenious: big CGI effects and fast-cut action scenes are shown in the ads to make it seem like this movie is anything but horrorific. Personally, I think CSM hit the nail on the head here; 12 and up should be fine seeing this. But whatever you do, don't let them see this! Don't even let YOURSELF see this! This is without a doubt the worst film of Roland Emmerich's career. Yes, even worse than Godzilla. No nudity, of course.

    No offense- a waste of life.

    The level of publicity given to this movie was nothing short of amazing, it managed to completely mask the true nature of this film. Let me begin by warning everyone that this review contains spoilers, and that you have been forewarned. So, the movie begins as most bad movies do; with a narration of the basic plight of a small tribe of people. I don't even remember what they were called, the exposition at the beginning was THAT poor. So these people hunt mammoths, etc. That's it. The main character is D'Leh who, as usual, is out to claim his girl... Blah blah blah. Everything is going well when... SUDDENLY and out of nowhere, XERXES attacks! (He's not really Xerxes from 300, just an uncannily similar character with a voice so edited you can barely understand him... Like 300...) D'Leh's little girlfriend get's kidnapped and taken over a mountain range. He and his friends follow, and suddenly find themselves taken from Alaska to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, getting attacked by giant killer ostriches. They find their way out of a hot and humid rainforest and suddenly end up in dry, arid Africa. After befriending the various tribes situated there, they make their way to the villains' camp, Egypt I believe, where slaves and MAMMOTHS are building pyrimids for an evil long-nailed dude that sounds like he's choking on his turkish delight. Let's see... Uh, D'Leh kills the 'Almighty' boss in a scene VERY reminiscent of 300, in which he throws a spear from 4382470237532890 yards away, in slow motion mind you, and then kills Xerxes. His girl dies from an arrow in her Aorta, but an old lady dies and gives her life... That's... IT. Waste of about two hours of my life...

    Action Movie!

    Ten thousand B.C was really good but some parts were gross like when the spear went through the guy. It was sort of sad that the boys mother got killed and now he has no parents. The best part was when they were running away from those big birds. It had alot of action in it.
