Although this film was far from being an epic, I will admit that I was entertained today. To make it clear to everyone, 10,000 B.C. should be considered a fantasy film and not a historical one. The title definitely was misleading for some, and I feel that those misconceptions about it may have caused some of the more analytical critics to give this film very harsh reviews.
First off, 10,000 B.C. is definitely not a unique film. Director Roland Emmerich seems to take bits and pieces from several movies of similar genre and tie them all together. The storyline was fairly weak and predictable, but I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity of watching a hero fight against all odds to save a damsel in distress. Camilla Belle was quite a beauty in this film, and saving her from the evil bad guys made it so much fun.
