A colossal adventure odyssey that turns back the hands of time to the very beginning of man's existence. 80,000 years ago, when man roamed the earth, he was exposed to the many harsh elements of nature. Against the perilous atmosphere of rugged terrain, rival tribes and savage beasts, Quest for Fire examines a peaceful tribe's search for that all important element fire, and the knowledge to create it. Focusing on human dream as well as realistic insights into pre-historic man, the constant struggle for survival is vividly recreated in this sensational production.

No words, just a good story , November, 13, 2008

Years ago my husband and I watched this movie. We loved it. No dialogue but you know what's happening. It told an amazing story. Human, rough, real but quite good. We take fire for granted, this shows us that life isn't all that easy.

Wonderful movie.Watch how these cave people do to keep the fire lighted. And watch when they loose it, to get it back

 

A worthy quest , October, 08, 2008

If you're looking for a movie with words then this isn't for you. If you're looking for a movie with a lot of action then, again, this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a movie that explores what early man may have lived through, but with realism then this movie is right up your alley.

In Quest for Fire the director shows his vision with amazing clarity. The costumes are also really good. They look exactly what I would expect early man to look like. No well groomed cave men in this movie.

It is slow though for a modern audience. The movie kind of slides along at a gentle pace. It may bore a few people, but it's not really boring enough to want to turn it off. Cavemen didn't spend all their time running from animals trying to eat them.

It's light on action, blood, and sex. The actual sex parts are handled very tastefully, and more in a cultural context than just to be there.

It's apparently a classic and I can see why it is.
