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 !!

I have to be fair... I categorize the worst movies of this year based on how much emphasis is put on them before they are released. 10,000 B.C. 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. The only thing making it a better film is a bigger budget.

10,000 B.C. is a lousy attempt at making a somewhat prehistoric setting realistic. What we have instead is a cartoon style CGI festival coupled with corny, and at times stupid, voice over narrative. The movie lacks a few major components to making a movie worth it's budget:

1. Decent Screenplay: A bad script will never be made into a good movie. No amount of good acting or directing will make it that way. This leads me to number 2..

2. Decent Directing: Roland Emmerich is possibly my least favorite director of all time. Granted, when I was 12 years old the day Independence Day came out, I loved that movie. Looking back on that movie and others such as The Day After Tomorrow, I realize that he possibly sets the standard for bad movies.

3. Time setting matches the dialogue: Mel Gibson is constantly criticized for his movies, but the man knows how to build a story. In Apocalypto and The Passion, the dialogue (including the language) matches the era for which the story is told. This film on the other hand makes it seem like 21st century minds were put in prehistoric bodies. 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.

Overall, as stated before, this movie can be classified as one of the worst movies of the year. In fact, this movie has inspired me to start a list of the worst movies of this year. 10,000 B.C., welcome to the list at #4.
