Review of 10,000 BC (2008) by Connorh. — 08 Jul 2008
Some of the lines were kind of funny because of how scripted/stupid they were, but I don't think the writers get enough credit for the story. What nobody ever mentions is the aspect of Fate and Prophecy in this movie.
Every tribe has a completely different prophecy that happens to come true through a sequence of events. Like, the constellation scars come from the slave-driver rapist's lashings after Evolet tries to leave a trail.
D'Leh doesn't earn the spear the first time, so he doesn't become a real leader until TicTic gives it to him. D'Leh can't really talk to sabertooth Tigers, but he ends up fulfilling exactly what the desert people's cave drawings predicted.
When I saw this movie in theaters I was kinda emotionally weird because High School was ending, so I really got into the love element (helps that Camilla Belle is a perfect human being =D). The scene where the army came over the bank of the Nile was really cool, and the kiss scene at the end was heartwarming.
I don't know...a lot of people who are calling this movie shallow really weren't considering the storyline at all, so I just thought I'd point it out. Anybody who cites random historical errors will never like this movie, because those errors will be all they'll be able to think about.
I came into the theater with no expectations at all and I thought it was a great movie.
