10,000 BC

[Sho'Nuff]

So I saw 10,000 BC last night. I didn't expect it to be "best picture" material, but I typically go see these types of movies to be entertained with some great visual effects, action etc. OMG what a let down. Basically the plot consists of one overused, melodramatic plot device after another. I mean, we have several prophecies fulfilled, and old woman who can see the future, a blind dude that knows everything about the enemy, a hunter who can speak to sabretooth tigers (sorry, "blade tooths," my bad), and some really bad voiceover stuff. And that is only scratching the surface! One thing I found incredily annoying was that almost everyone spoke perfect english, yet the voice overs would use ridiculous terms for common things. For example, in a scene wherew it was snowing, the voiceover said something to the effect of "the white rain was hard on the Agal." WTF? You've got a bunch of f'ing brits in the movie speaking English with an English accent, yet you can't just say snow? I guess "white rain" is supposed to be what cavemen in 10,000 BC would describe snow as <shrug>. Another awful thing is that the enemy is building pyramids, which to me indicates that the plot occurs somewhere near Egypt. Yet the bad guys are clearly Indian!

Awful, juyst awful. Two thumbs down. Don't waste your money on this pig.

It si definitely bad, but it is not even close to the top five worst movies I have seen. It will be interesting to see if any movie can be worse than Ang Lee's Hulk. That is the only movie where I contemplated repeatedly just walking out, and eventuall did.

It's an "ok" movie. Not epic, not the worst, just ok. Kinda like a cross between 300 and Apocayptico, but far from as good as either. Wait for a Rental, not good enough for a Theater or Disk purchase IMO.

I don't know, I saw "Snakes on a Plane," effectively for free on HBO, and I still felt like the producers should have given me monetary compensation for having been exposed to it.
