Review of 10,000 BC (2008) by Cameron J — 18 Apr 2011
To quote the great Cyrus of Spill: "We knew this was gonna be bad, but I had no idea!" Who is this "we"? Well, there's myself and the imaginary friend I had to make up so that I wouldn't have to suffer this alone.
Sorry to have to put you through that, Frank. Though the cenimatography and production designs are nice, the "film" is inconsistant, cheesy, underwhelming, I guess unintentionally funny and to an extent, unengaging, only being able to hold my interest so that I could see what tragic mistake it would make next, such as wooden, if not stunningly bad acting and not just because the "actors" had to deliver awe-inspiringly atrocious dialogue.
To make matters worse, we are presented with a thrown together storyline, choppy editing, poor placement of intentional comic relief, somewhat noticable if not brutally obvious digital effects, archaeological inaccuracies, (such as terror birds) somehwat forced-in animals, (such as terror birds) and so on and so forth.
Ultimately, "10,000 B.C." is not only an epic that fails to live up to the title, but a compilation of embarassing mistakes that almost set the complexities of human talent back to the movie's titular era.
Well, that's not fair. Appearantly, back then, there was some random guy who could speak just about every form of language.
