The Hero in that flick is named d'leh - Backwards it reads "held" witch means "hero" in german. You now Emmerich is a german.

wow...thanks for that insight... worst. movie. of. the. year.

movielib

I agree it is the worst movie of the year so far. Good thing I saw it for free.

It was about ten times better when it was called Apocalypto (and they only had to go back a little more than 500 years for that one) and that's not saying all that much.

Emmerich's movies are always junk but sometimes they're at least entertaining like Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. This one is even worse than Stargate which I didn't think was possible.

Regarding the hero's name, every time it was said I couldn't help thinking of the word "delay" and of Tom DeLay. That was distracting. The one good thing about the movie because it took my mind off of it!

animatedude

the only reason i would see this movie this week is if the special effects are great.so are they?

giant snowstorm = no go here.

Cellar Door

Stargate is Emmerich's best movie, IMO. Not perfect by any means, but it's much better than ID4 and TDAT.

NY Post gave it a 1....I'm staying away. The director has done some nice things in the past but I think he didn't make it this time.

movielib

I knew someone would say that. I just disagree.

The Antipodean

Great quotes on Rotten Tomatoes on this one (sitting at 8%)

"Barney Rubble had a lot more charisma than anyone involved in this movie."

"While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least it's fun to think of all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an accurate historical record and get F's on their next pop quiz."

"Almost worth sitting through the first half for the revelatory moment when you're forced to ask yourself: Is nearly the entire cast suddenly being attacked by what look like cracked-out ostriches? Why, yes, yes they are."

"This may well be the first prehistoric epic in which the liberal deployment of such words as "oog," "agh" and "uck" would have actually improved the screenplay considerably."

I like Emmerich's movies... but this one was the worst of the bunch.

I didn't care for any of the characters (or remember any of their names for that matter).

... and the about the end:



I didn't really hate it... but I won't watch it again.

Their first and their best. It's all downhill from there.

I need this movie to do at least $51+ million for me to win my weekly movie game I play with my co-workers.
So suck or not, I need peoples asses in the theater this weekend.

Camilla Belle is amazing

chris_sc77

You are going to lose dude. Its only going to do around $30-35 million this weekend.
Sorry about your chances in the game ou play but I would rather people not rush out to see this. It looks horrible.

Mercury&Solace

Damn it!

Oh well thats ok.

I was going to go see this today, but we had a blizzard! I am still going to next week despite the terrible reviews.

Patman

10,000 B.C. - Piss-poor movie-making at its best. A forgettable tale set you-know-when, and it's just mind-boggling how bad the character development is, as well as the "adventure" portions that introduces more and more different groups of people as the main character (D'Leh) and his small gathering set out on a rescue mission after they are attacked by some big bad meanies and many of their tribe are taken (including D'Leh's sweetheart Evolet). It's not even a train wreck, it's just dull, and its conclusion has all the tension of a bungee cord in its resting state. Expect very poor word of mouth on this film.

I give it 1 star, or a grade of D.

Lastyear

Terrible movie.Luckily I see it at a free preview.Everything about this movie is bad.This decades Clan of the Cave Bear(another prehistoric turkey).I see Razzies in this flicks future.

whoopdido

Terrible, terrible terrible movie. Did I mention it was terrible?

I'm usually not one to bash movies as I can usually find at least a few good things about each movie I see and even if it's a really bad movie it's at least entertaining to some degree.

This movie completely and utterly failed. I have never been more bored watching a movie in my entire life. I couldn't care less about any of the characters and actually I was rooting for the wooly mammoths the entire film. They were the most entertaining characters.

first time I've ever fallen asleep at a theatre before... haha.

It's not that bad, it's just slightly retarded, funny, entertaining. At least it had some original dinosaurs never seen in other dinasaur flicks (wooly mammoth, sabertooth, and huge ostriches). Very disappointed that the sabretooth didn't get enough screentime. That sabretooth should have been like that Narnia lion...

Those languages in the flick were just funny as hell - when the Mother, blind albino, the king's pussy assistants showed up - they were saying/acting like they were in a Montey Python sketch.

I liked how they audio-tampered the voices of the pillagers to sound like the Stargate villains...

Where was Jaye Davidson at the end? He was supposed to be the one behind the veil!!!

Mr. Salty

Woolly mammoths, saber-tooths and ostriches are not types of dinosaurs.

Something tells me you're the audience Roland Emmerich was praying for.

It's sad that the whole time I just kept thinking, 'O Dean Devlin, where art thou?'

not dinasaurs, but from around that time period...
