So I took Kate to see this tonight, originally we wanted to see Bank Job but the showing times were either to early or to late, so we saw 10,000 B.C. instead. I figure it would be decent since the trailer looked somewhat promising. Well it wasn't. I supposed if you ignored both history and geography it would be pretty good but for someone like me who studies this topic I was just annoyed. It reminded me if they made an Age of Empires movie this would be it.

Just in case anyone is dying to see this gem I'll put these spoiler tags up.

- For whatever the people started off in what appeared to be middle Europe and ended up in Southern Africa via a jungle, but never once crossed an ocean. Some how they eventually found Egypt.
- The Egyptian has boats that looked like Viking boats with Chinese sails
- The Egyptians were building all three pyramids and the Sphinx all at the same time, in the middle of the desert with no city around them.
- Slaves were building the pyramids, which has been proven to not be true.
- Somehow the African tribes all spoke the same tribal language but could understand English from the people of the mountains.
- The Pharaoh was what appeared to be an alien.
- They had Woolly Mammoths pulling up stones for the pyramids.
- The top of the pyramids were solid gold.

I think that's enough for right now. All I can say was I was really disappointed with the movie as a whole. Not to mention all it was, was a "caveman" love story. The acting was questionable at best and the dialog was pretty cheesy. Also the green screen was very obvious.

The only real upside to the movie was that Camila Belle is pretty hot.
 
I don't think you need to cross the ocean to get from Europe to Egypt....

Regardless, I haven't heard too many good things about this movie.

The way they went you have to cross the Med to get there, it's not an ocean but still a big ass body of water. It's hard to explain but they pretty much walked down from the snowy mountains, into a think jungle (with these raptor like bird things), into a savannah, into a desert, into the Nile. I couldn't think of any place like this.

Perhaps they crossed the land bridge from Istanbul into Turkey, and made their way south through the Gaza Strip into Egypt? Either way, the snow mountains to jungle to desert does seem far-fetched.
 
I thought the movie was good but not great. I was very disappointed with the way it ended. If your interrested in seeing this I would just rent it and dont expect much from the ending. Highlight the next spoiler text to see what I was disappointed with.

The way the girl came back to life at the end just shocked me. My gf and I both went "WTF?!" I mean seriously if they are going to bring her back to life please do it using some sort of creative idea. Not having someone look through the eyes of a mammoth to bring her back. That was just messed up.

:lol:

That's a shame - I wanted to see this film, but it sounds like a big pile of poo.

And it looks like one too!

Seriously, this was perhaps one of the sorriest excuses for a movie I have ever been privy to. Everyone and anyone associated with or involved in this project should report to the nearest neighbourhood guillotine.
