Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-07-2008 09:04 AM                     Don't want to waste too much of your time so I'll be brief. Roland Emerich proves he's no 'One-Dud-Wonder' and adds this one to his collection with 'Godzilla'.

The star is a Neanderthal Metrosexual, gotta make him look cute, otherwise it might not appeal to the tweens and adolescents, the source of the money. Never mind being authentic and showing the real Neanderthal man with stooped shoulders and covered with matted hair from head to foot. What they have here is one of the latest styles in some men, dreadlocks and a Van Dyke beard. Gotta love Bollywood, Louis  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-07-2008 12:10 PM                        I haven't (nor will I) seen this, but did it even have talking in it? And what was the plot?!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-07-2008 12:35 PM                     I didn't have high hopes for 10,000 BC. Reaction to it seems to be worse than I expected. Currently it is rating a very miserable 08% rating at Rotten Tomatoes (46 of 50 reviews in are negative). A critic for The Associated Press called 10,000 BC "dumb as rocks."  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-07-2008 12:57 PM                     This film is an utter JOKE!!! The CGI was not good at all, everything just looked fake. I swear someone watched Apocalypto and said, "Damn this movies not in English, it really sucks. Lets make a movie thats a tenth as good and have them speak english. Hell we will just steal the whole plot of the movie as well, just do it half assed." I love how they take a beautiful white woman and try to make her look not so pretty by putting dirt on her. I've wasted to much of my time telling you how bad this movie was. Don't see it. .25/5  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 03-07-2008 05:36 PM                     quote: I haven't (nor will I) seen this, but did it even have talking in it? And what was the plot?! Some cavemen get kidnapped by Egyptians to be slave labor to build the pyramids with the help of wooley mammoths. Along the way they get attacked by some crazy dinosaurs with beaks and feathers. No, I'm not making this up. I went into this expecting it to be something like One Million Years B.C. with Raquel Welch.

I wonder if Cory will forgive me for making him screen BOTH prints.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-07-2008 09:46 PM                     Yeah didn't care for this one either. On another note though, did anyone else notice how grainy the picture got in the fourth reel when they are in the slave quarters for the first time? I thought at first it might be a print defect, but I believe it continued into the last reel. It reminded me of graininess of Sin City.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-08-2008 12:19 AM                     Yes, it changed from shot to shot. When they would cut to the girl and then her capture it would change, when ever on the girl it was grainy and fine any other time.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-11-2008 11:41 PM                     quote: Dan Lyons get attacked by some crazy dinosaurs with beaks and feathers. ..was a variation of the common Gigantoraptor (raptors: flesh eating birds..buzzards, eagles, hawks..et.al..) ..yeppers, pretty sad movie. NOT worth 8 bucks to see, but a good 2 buck movie. - "ID4" was still the best.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-11-2008 11:54 PM                        Why do people call it "ID4"? That always angrified me.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-16-2008 08:41 PM                        Against the advice of people whose judgment I trust (you), I went to this today. By about the 4th reel it was putting me to sleep. I left.  |  IP: Logged
