10,000 BC

not sure, will do some more research in to this.

My contacts in the movie industry tell me that this film will be crap.

You heard it first here and remember that it was I that warned you.

My advice is invaluable, please give generously:

its definitley going to be a “no brainer” “eye candy” flick
but hey ho who cares 8)

Well I thought the lead alien put in a sterling performance in that film, on par with Dustin Hoffman’s performance in Rain Man. The academy awards rarely give awards to bio-mechanical killing machines though. Shame on them!

Remember Insane: “It’s better to give than to receive.” I will then pass on the money to my pub landlord and the circle will be complete.

i pressed pause when i saw ‘from the producer of independance day’ 😯

any bets the continent of america had nothing to do with dinosaurs not walking the earth anymore ?? 😀

Think you were right to do that Sprog going by this review.

Back in 2006, I moved down to Central Otago to work on a then-unnamed big-budget movie from German money-making machine Roland Emmerich.

Emmerich had already churned out Independence Day, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla and a few other ridiculously successful loads of old rubbish, and his new film promised to be right out of the same box.

What started out as an African epic set in the high savannah was scuppered by a brutal South Island winter. The script was quickly rewritten to accommodate an ice age, and all sorts of dodgy narration – “That night a white rain fell . . .” – plastered on to explain why all of Emmerich’s carefully composed tussocky backdrops had suddenly turned snowy white.

The result is a massively compromised and hastily cobbled together load of complete pants that may just be the single worst film I’ve seen on a big screen in my entire life.

10,000BC (as they eventually called it) tells the story of a band of mammoth hunters on the trail of their kidnapped clansmen.

On the way they encounter all manner of badly rendered hazards, and eventually stumble upon – ummm – Egypt. 10,000BC is laughably bad, tedious, derivative, nonsensical and ultimately hysterically funny.

If it weren’t so stupid it would be offensive, but as it stands, this makes Clan of the Cave Bear look like The Ascent of Man.

Unless your life really won’t be complete without seeing a cartoon sabre-tooth tiger growling at Cliff Curtis, I’d save my money for Ice Age 3.
