One of my all time favorites.

good back-story, and good acting

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I hate Roland Emmerich movies. All of them. Except for this one...and Stargate too. (The television series is better though.) This is probably the highest score I ever gave to one of his films. (Except for Stargate.) There are a bunch of idiots complaining how this is historically inaccurate. Well you monkey of course it is! Even says so in the beginning of the film! They are rewriting history, well "pre-history" and telling a story in the progress. You don't go exclaiming that when you watch a movie set in the Dark Ages or Victorian Era do you? No! You don't go, "HAHA! Dragons you say? There were no dragons in during medieval times!" Or, "HAHA! A time machine? How incredibly stupid!" Does the Stone Age have some unique privilege I do not know about? This is a fun movie! I laughed a lot in the beginning of the movie because of their ridiculous accents and voices. "Me. Like you. You. Like the stars." The writing in this movie is really, really cheesy but wait! It's actually even cheesier! Civilization seems to get more advanced as the film goes on. But the story and plot is the same. A simple man after a simple woman, also seeking revenge. How adorable!? So if you were to over-analyze this film, you would say that this film is actually an allegory for human life. We evolve but we remain the same. Our only stupid purpose in life is to experience love... and reproduce with the person with the best genetics and features. (I stopped laughing at this point. Just. Wow...a smart Roland Emmerich movie? No I must be over- analyzing.) Now for you all self-proclaim historians of prehistoric times, how many times have you read a true love story like that?

I can't believe it is rated 5.1 out of 10. We saw this in the theater when it came out, and I only remember it almost ten years later because it was the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater. Was a complete and utter waste of time. Truly painful to sit thru. We we're so glad when it was over.

Hello everybody, I am a new member of the IMDb.I've just watched the film "10,000 B.C." today, it was not as good as I think but it also gave me an another feeling. The film tells a story about the Yagahal's life. The Yagahal camp lives on a range mountain and survives by killing woolly mammoths. And all the campers were told that if any of those kills a mammoth that person can carry the "White Spear". A young hunter D'Leh was proved to have killed one and won the "White Spear", and his woman --------- Evolet. But a good time never lasts long, horse raiders what they called "four legged demons" attacked their camp and captured many of their campers, including Evolet. D'Leh, Tic'Tic(the leader), KaRen and Baku and some others are those who were lucky avoided being captured. They four then started their adventure on searching their companions, but unluckily when they entered the forest, Baku and KaRen were also being captured when D'Leh was away. And after, no marks and signals. One day, when D'Leh went hunting for his injured stepfather(Tic'Tic), he fell into a hole and fainted, he was finally awaken until heavy rain comes, when he was trying to get out of the hole he saw a Smilodon being surrounded and trying to be free. He managed to kill it, but he didn't. He set the Smilodon free and let go, and the Smilodon didn't attack him. After that, they met the Naku tribe when they were searching for food, so did the Smilodon. D'Leh let go of the Smilodon by only conversation, actually it is the same one that D'Leh saved the life on. A foretell which the Naku believes is that a person who talks to a Smilodon, what they called "spear tooth" can set them free, so they arose and stood with each other, and saved all their companions, and of course, Evolet.Although I don't like this film very much, but D'Leh's braveness and power touched me, and at last I would like to say... If the film wasn't named "10,000 B.C.", I think the suitability would have been better.

Admittedly, my memory of 10,000 B.C. is a bit unstable after watching it on HBO a few years ago. I remember the rudimentary plot - young warrior of woolly mammoth hunting tribe is predestined to save his azure-eyed girlfriend from a more advanced Egyptian-like race. I remember (I think) the opening shot of the mammoth hunt where the young warrior earns his stripes by standing his ground and holding a spear for a mammoth to impale itself upon. I remember the mammoth tribe's journey across several jumbled climate zones (grassland, jungle, desert) to retrieve the young woman, Evolet. I certainly remember the encounter with the carnivorous terror-birds (Phorusracos), one of the few exciting parts of the movie. I sorta remember a man from another tribe agreeing to help the young mammoth hunter (can't remember his name) in his quest. I remember the young hunter being trapped in some watery hole with an enormous saber-tooth cat and the hunter saying something hilariously to the effect, "I'll free you if you promise not to eat me". He frees the cat and the cat doesn't eat him. However, the sabertooth doesn't do much else in the movie. And, yeah, I remember, the Egyptian-like civilization using mammoths to construct their monuments and pyramids (actually not a bad touch).However, what I most remember is a physical impossibility - mammoths galloping like horses over the meadows. Now, like most elephants, mammoths would have managed at best a shuffling walk - pretty fast but no gallop. It was logical gaffes like this that actually made me realize what a junk heap of a movie 10,000 B.C. really is, if you stop to think about it. If you don't think about it, which I did for a while, it's a fairly entertaining pulp B-movie.
