10,000 BC is the latest triumph of the ersatz from writer-director Roland Emmerich. Like Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996), and The Day After Tomorrow (2004) before it, it's shamelessly cobbled together out of every movie Emmerich can remember to pilfer from (though to be fair, the section in pre-ancient Egypt harks back to his own Stargate). Emmerich's saving grace is that his films' cheesiness is so flagrant, his narratives so geared for instant gratification, he can seem like a kid simultaneously improvising and acting out a story in his backyard: "P'tend there's this alien ... p'tend maybe he came from Atlantis or something...." Just don't p'tend it has anything to do with real moviemaking. --Richard T. Jameson

I am a fan of the science fiction genre but there is no amount of lipstick you could put on this pig to make it palatable. This is a truly terrible movie.

A Great Adventure Movie at an Excellent Price. Thank You -JS.

Granted, when I was 12 years old the day Independence Day came out, I loved that movie. The only thing making it a better film is a bigger budget. In Apocalypto and The Passion, the dialogue (including the language) matches the era for which the story is told. 3.

No amount of good acting or directing will make it that way. certainly wouldn't be a worse movie than any of the B rated horror films put out recently such as "Side Sho", but it is close. 10,000 B.C. What we have instead is a cartoon style CGI festival coupled with corny, and at times stupid, voice over narrative. I categorize the worst movies of this year based on how much emphasis is put on them before they are released. Top 5 Worst Movies of 2008.

The Hulk "to be announced". Time setting matches the dialogue: Mel Gibson is constantly criticized for his movies, but the man knows how to build a story. 1. 1. 10,000 B.C.

4. Decent Screenplay: A bad script will never be made into a good movie. 3. I have to be fair.

Overall, as stated before, this movie can be classified as one of the worst movies of the year. 2. "to be announced".

In fact, this movie has inspired me to start a list of the worst movies of this year. This leads me to number 2. 2. 5. Looking back on that movie and others such as The Day After Tomorrow, I realize that he possibly sets the standard for bad movies. The movie lacks a few major components to making a movie worth it's budget:. 10,000 B.C., welcome to the list at #4. Decent Directing: Roland Emmerich is possibly my least favorite director of all time.

10,000 B.C. is a lousy attempt at making a somewhat prehistoric setting realistic. It is reminicent of Battlefield Earth, when post apocalyptic humans turned neo-neanderthal said phrases such as "Get the Hell outta here." thousands of years after the human race was all but extinct. This film on the other hand makes it seem like 21st century minds were put in prehistoric bodies. "to be announced".

They also invented mascara, eyeliner, rouge and lipstick and in the beginning of the movie they have apparently been working under cars as they are greasy smudged as opposed to the mud smeared men. I am pretty open to all types of movies and I even liked Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Quest For Fire gets my vote hands down. It would do much better as a comedy but the stage is set for a serious production. I love the part where our hero falls into a pit trap containing a Saber-toothed tiger who apparently fell in, recovered the hole then pinned himself under a log so he couldn't move. The girls though have been smart enough to invent bras.

The opens in a snowy land where the guys are too stupid to wear shirts and coat themselves with mud. I still can't figure out the reasoning behind stampeding the mammoths and chasing them miles for a kill. This movie is so laden with WTFs it can't even be called entertaining. The graphics were excellent but the writing and directing were pathetic. "Native" dialects soon give way to strong modern accents including more than a few who have apparently invented British inflections and the 'broken' language of 'primitives' becomes intermixed with complete grammatically correct sentences bearing $10 words. I would have dropped one where he stood grazing so I wouldn't have to carry it all so far back home, I guess I'm just a spoiled lazy movie buff.

Okay, so this movie may not be the blockbuster hit of the year, but I actually thought it was halfway decent. Or any of the other hundreds of movies set in prehistoric/ancient/classical times that swerves so far from reality as to be completely unrelated. First off, I love Stargate so I thought the not-so-surprising resemblance in certain areas extremely amusing. Love conquers all, good vs evil, man vs nature, conincedence vs fatethey pretty much have it all. Can we say '300'.

Eh, who cares. I will say that the best part of this movie had nothing to do with special effects (which I thought were fairly impressive) or the acting (which. As for historical inaccuracies. did leave something to the imagination) or the plot (yeah.)., but with the music.

If it really bothers viewers so much, just do what I do: pretend it's somewhere else. well, really, who cares. Anyway, the movie was good and even if it isn't a I-must-have-this-movie flick, it's still good fun when your in the mood for a movie that's filled with beautiful scenery and cool prehistoric animals and Egyptian/Stargate-style sets. Also, the story itself is not so bad.

There are times when I can't tell the 'Independence Day' and 'Stargate' soundtracks apart, but they are both very good. Pretty easy, really. Harold Kloser did an amazing job with this music, even if parts of it do sound strangely similar to 'The Day After Tomorrow'.
