10,000 BC -
The reviews of Roland Emmerich's new movie, 10,000 B.C. ("A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe") are starting to come through, and it sounds like a bigger crapfest than Apocalypto:
In 10,000 BC, you've got Egyptian pyramids being built by guys using woolly mammoths. I mean, it's the goddamn ice age, and then our main character walks over a hill and suddenly he's in the Nile Valley of 2,000 BC? And these anachronistic bad guy Egyptians (from the ice age) have got ships, horseback riding, and freakin STEEL. Steel? C'mon, guys, you couldn't even consult Wikipedia? I mean, why not just call the movie 2,000 BC and make it about ancient Egypt? Or keep it in 10,000 BC and come up with some other kind of bad guys? Jeezus.
Even BETTER are the comments on the IMDB's forums:
This movie is set before God created heaven and earth and it’s an abomination to create man before god even thought of him.
If the producers of this film would have tried this blasephemous crap 5,300 years ago, Adam and Seth would have thrashed them with their pet Triceratops.
Yes. Thrashed them with a pet Triceratops, indeed.

I saw the trailers. The woolly mammoths looked pretty unreal. I mean, unbelievable! But OTOH, the movie had the biggest box-office draw of the weekend. That’s pretty unbelievable, too.

I totally love this movie. I have seen this movie about 20 times to date! What I am disappointed about is .. There are to many cuts in the movie. I have seen the not used scenes and they SHOULD have kept them in the movie! I will buy the movie again if they remake it and put all the scenes in the movie. (I wish they would!)
