Review of 10,000 BC (2008) by Bloo B — 15 Nov 2010
Given the amount of man-candy & awesome dreads in this film, it's so tempting to rate it 5 stars. But.. I shall not. It's nice to see a film with constant topless male nudity, and not cringing because they've sprayed on some abdominal muscles. 10,000 BC doesn't even bother. They're too distracting. They may not have sprayed on the abs, but they certainly didn't waste time removing body hair.
Perhaps I'm showing my bias here, but considering the number of dumbasses who think the world was created in 4004 BC, they'd at least be historically accurate about civilisations that long ago. Instead they opted for a kind of magic-realism. People DID live in small tribes back then, but it definitely wasn't so easy befriending another. They DID have domesticated animals and bricklaying skills, but the Pyramids at Giza came millennia later.
Notable clichà (C): the fucking happy ending. Oh no! The girl I fancy is dead! Oh wait, she's magically come back to life. NEVER SEEN THAT IN A MOVIE BEFORE. Transformed what could have been a wonderful ending into an anticlimax. Tut tut.
