10,000 B.C.

10,000 B.C. isn't as bad as some critics say it is. The movie does have some flaws, but it manages to overcome them.

Pros: Like 300 and the Lord of Rings trilogy it has stunning visuals, effects and locations that make viewers feel like they're part of the action. The mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, giant birds, and other creatures look extremely realistic. 10,000 B.C. clearly shows how CGI technology has evolved over the last decade. Some of the movie was shot in New Zealand, and some parts like the ones shot in the mountains reminded me of scenes from the Lord of Rings movies. However, the visuals, effects, and locations don't completely make up for the bad plot and dialogue.

Cons : 10,000 B.C. has one of the most cliched plots in movie history. A young blue eyed girl has managed to escape from slave traders. When Old Mother sees her, she has a vision of the future. In her vision Old Mother sees the slave traders coming to the village and capturing the girl and some of the men. This ominous event will occur after the last hunt. Eventually, Old Mother's vision comes true, and D'Leh and a few of the hunters from the tribe set out to save those who were taken by the villains. Along the way the warriors meet an African tribe, and are told of a prophecy in which a person with the ability to talk to saber-toothed tigers will lead an army to victory. I have no idea why the African tribes waited so long to fight the slave traders, and the Egyptian like civilization that uses slaves and Mammoths to build pyramids.

The dialogue isn't much better. It's extremely corny. I'm not sure if pre-history humans spoke English, or any other language that exits today.

Final Verdict: Despite the cliched plot and awful dialogue, 10,000 B.C. isn't as bad as some of the critics say it is. The incredible visuals, effects and locations help this movie to overcome its flaws. 10,000 B.C. have violence, but it doesn't have any blood, or gore like 300. If you're a fan of epic movies, then you'll enjoy 10,000 B.C.
