Product Description

10,000 B.C. (DVD) (WS)

From director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth--10,000 BC.In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter D'Leh (Steven Strait--The Covenant)) has found his heart's passion, the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle--When a Stranger Calls). ). But when mysterious warlords kidnap Evolet, D'Leh leads a small group of hunters to the end of the world to save her -- battling prehistoric predators, braving the harshest elements and learning their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a tyrannical god. And it is here that D'Leh finally comes to understand that he has been called to save not only Evolet but all of civilization.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    n 10,000 BC, a tribe of hunter-gatherers called the Yagahl live in a remote mountain range in the Urals and survive by killing woolly mammoths. D'Leh, a young hunter, has a companion named Evolet, an orphan who was found by the tribe. D'Leh, while hunting mammoths, manages to kill one and wins the "White Spear". He also wins Evolet in marriage, but feels he deserves neither since he killed the mammoth by accident.

    One day, D'Leh and several others are away when horse-raiders called the "Four Legged Demons" attack the Yaghal camp. The horse raiders enslave Evolet; D'Leh, Tic'Tic, KaRen, and Baku pursue them to save her. They enter a rainforest where they are attacked by a large pack of terror birds. In this encounter, Tic'Tic gets wounded and Baku and Ka'Ren are captured. D'Leh rescues Evolet, but she is later re-captured. Continuing on, they meet others whose loved ones were taken by the raiders. D'Leh and Tic'Tic befriend Nakudu, leader of the Naku tribe. He tells D'Leh of a prophecy: whoever talks to a Smilodon that they call the "Spear-Tooth" will help free their people. D'Leh had earlier saved the Spear-Tooth from drowning in a trap and it had spared his life. D'Leh realizes the prophecy was about him. Nakudu explains that his loved ones were taken in the "Great Red Birds", ships with large red sails, to the "Mountains of the Gods", from which no one has ever returned. They then come together with other tribes, who agree to form a coalition to pursue the raiders.

    They find the ships with red sails holding Evolet and Baku. They have no means to follow the ships, so they journey through a vast desert, discovering an advanced civilization similar to ancient Egypt, ruled by an enigmatic figure known as "The Almighty", who is said to be the last survivor of his kind. The Almighty, who is regarded as a living god, possesses many thousands of slaves that he is using to build a huge pyramid complex in his honor. D'Leh finds an escaped servant of the Almighty and notices he is wearing a bracelet worn by D'Leh's father. D'Leh's father left his tribe for food and found the Naku tribe before being stolen by the raiders. In a night attack, the guards of the slaves discover D'Leh behind a pyramid. Tic'Tic dies from injuries from killing the guards before they raise the alarm. Meanwhile, the Almighty's priests discover Evolet bears scars on her hand patterned after the "Mark of the Hunter", the constellation Orion. The priests believe it is part of a prophecy that whoever wears the mark of the Hunter is destined to kill The Almighty. D'Leh starts a full-scale rebellion amongst the slaves. They cause the mammoth herd, used in building the pyramid, to stampede and kill a large number of troops.

    The Almighty offers Evolet to D'Leh in exchange for abandoning his rebellion. The Almighty says that if D'Leh takes his wife, his warriors can return, but the rest must be his slaves forever. D'Leh feigns acceptance of the deal which allows him to throw a spear at The Almighty and kill him, proving that he is not a god. During the ensuing battle, the raider obsessed with Evolet kidnaps her on horseback. Evolet grabs an arrow and stabs the warlord in the side, knocking them both off the horse. D'Leh rushes towards her, but the raider shoots her in the back. D'Leh kills him and returns to Evolet, and she dies in his arms. The scene shifts to the tribe's wise woman as she breathes in deeply and then breathes out her last breath. The scene then returns to D'Leh still holding Evolet's body when she suddenly awakens, restored by the wise woman's sacrifice. They depart for home and bid farewell to the other tribes.

    In an alternative ending, the scene shifts forward many years into the future, showing Baku's retelling of the story by the camp fire. It ends with a child asking what had happened to the "Mountains of the Gods", and Baku responds "They were taken back by the sands. Lost to time, lost to man."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy, not great fact
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

    (Long review below)

    Many critics and others criticize the "historical inaccuracies" of the film, which they might think is clever/obvious observation, but is actually very redundant and needless.

    This is quite clearly historical fantasy, not fiction or fact. There is some fact and some speculation, but the rest is just fantasy meant to be enjoyed as such. Do not watch the film expecting it to be a BBC documentary or something like Saving Private Ryan (in terms of historical accuracy).

    I personally enjoy this movie very much, and I will explain why, while also addressing its flaws:

    Yes, the plot is not that complex, but the story does not need it to be for it to work effectively.

    The script has some issues, but I found most of it to be immersive and believable, given the environment. I don't really think a movie about a primitive hunter-gatherer going to (Spoiler) quasi-Egypt (Spoiler end) to save his girlfriend needs Godfather-level dialogue.

    One issue that could have been fixed to improve the film would have been more character development. There are plenty of visually-dazzling and action-packed scenes, but not nearly as much attention to the characters; however, this does not ruin the story. The protagonist is a somewhat generic character. A simple description is that he's a "reluctant hero" (an ordinary person thrust into extraordinary circumstances which require them to rise to heroism) and he wants to get his girlfriend/tribe back. It's nothing ground-breaking, but the formula has proven successful time after time. Take Luke Skywalker in the first Star Wars movie, for example. Typical reluctant hero who wants more than his simple life. No real character development until the second movie, so every character does not need to be ground-breaking to make their story compelling.

    The last major issue is that the CGI is "bad." It's really not, but that is generally a weak argument for critics to make, so you shouldn't even care if you're merely interested in whether the story is good and interesting.

    To elaborate, yes, some of the CGI doesn't look totally real, but this movie also came out 11 years ago, and the last decade was not exactly known for ground-breaking CGI. The Star Wars prequels had a massive amount of funds, yet some of the CGI looked fake. Smeagol from Lord of The Rings did not look that real, if we're being honest. Andy Serkis' motion capture is what brought the character to life. Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter is basically Smeagol without the motion capture.

    The point is, the CGI being perfect does not always ruin a movie. For this movie, you won't think the mammoths are real, but you won't cringe as though they're fat guys in costumes. Do we ever even truly believe CGI characters are real? No, it's called "suspension of disbelief."

    Now, what I like about the film is the aesthetic and story. The sets/locations, languages, costumes, etc., all look great and are incredibly immersive. You won't ever think "boy, this sure looks dumb and fake."

    The actors are all believable as their characters (Travis from Fear The Walking Dead plays a caveman and I never knew that until I looked at the cast) and they guide you into the world with ease.

    The film is just generally really beautiful to look at, which is its main selling point.

    The plot is compelling and never bored me. Simple, yes, but bad, no.

    And what really matters is "Will you enjoy this movie?"

    If you can forgive some CGI issues and aren't a history buff who is watching to complain rather than enjoy, you will like it. It's a very visual kind of movie; you will like what you see if you like epic fantasy movies or fantasy prehistoric movies. Just don't expect a godfather script or historical accuracy and you won't complain.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and exciting.

    First of all, I don't have high expectations for movies. I want a movie that is exciting and/or makes me glad that I spent my time watching it. This movie has that, so I don't need to go on and on about historical inaccuracies or poor character development. Whatever. It's an action movie and we watch it for the action and eye candy, not for the in depth character analysis that we'll be doing later. *Imagine my eye roll* It was fun, it was exciting, and it had a little love story. So it made excellent marks for me.
    So why only 4 stars? To be honest, this movie feels very much like the many movies and TV shows that came out before it and will probably continue long after. It seems like it's a mixture between the movie Stargate and the TV series Arthdal Chronicles. There is no proof that the god figure is an alien who is building the pyramids as a landing pad for his spaceship, but still the feel is there (Stargate). And the fur or leather clad outcast of a primitive society with a shamanistic woman in charge, who runs after his love who happens to be the next female shaman, that is kidnapped by what appears to be a more advanced civilization to be a slave, well, that's the Arthdal Chronicles in a nutshell. Not that the show wasn't worthy, I really did enjoy it. I'm just saying it's been done.
    Anyway, if you're going to stress about inaccuracies and character development, don't watch this movie. If you want to turn off the skepticism and just enjoy: this movie is a good bet.
