I like the looks of this movie, but then again I’m a freak like that. I loved Independence Day. This is Babylon. This is Gilgamesh, This is Perseus, this is Jesu.
Well, the historical accuracy seems a bit off, with mammoths and sabretooths hanging around pyramids, but there does appear to be a couple of really hot babes in it.
Yeah, hot cavechicks in chains… looks like we’ll get some rapien’ of some sapiens.
Apparently, one of the leads in this is Camilla Belle, who I last saw in The Quiet, which is a good, but slightly disturbing film, marred only by the fact that her boobies are not visible in the film, even though Edie Falco’s are. :mad:
Looks like a total crapfest. Count me in 
I have this awful suspicion that at the end of the movie the big city will sink under the waves.
Pretty advanced boats for 10,000 bc. As for the trailer, I could have done with more babes and fewer elephants.
Did I actually hear the line “you have a date with destiny”? Now that’s writing!
I like the fact that the very title of the film is an up-yours to young Earth creationists. 
Yeah, but the whole thing is kind of up-yours to historians, anthropologists, paleontologists, and archaeologists so it all balances out.
This is what happens when marketing calls the shots. :mad:
No historical accuracy equals none of my disposable income.
I think it was actually “You have a great destiny,” delivered in what sounded to me like a Scottish accent. Cave-Scottish, no doubt. Or else just very, very drunk.
Oh come on now, it’s like Conan! Or Beastmaster! It’s not supposed to remotely resemble historical accuracy, it’s supposed to be goofy pulp adventure in the Robert E. Howard mold!
I predict this movie will be exactly 1/100 as entertaining as the movie One Million Years BC. Which should still be reasonably entertaining.
How can the term “historical accuracy” be meaningful wrt anything that purports to have occurred before the invention of writing?
Didn’t mammoths go extinct around 13,000 B.C.? What the hell are they doing in this film?? And the whole ancient Egypt thing, good lord… :rolleyes:
I think the thing that annoys me the most is how they are trying to make it seem like this story is based on reality, aka “the story never told”, blah blah
Well, the pseudo-Egyptians in the film probably have hieroglyphics.
I like how even their little slave huts have pyramid roofs on them.
It needs an allosaurus.
Maybe the title should be ~ 10,000 BC.
Are you calling Homer a liar? :dubious:
Actually, it is possible to check such things.
I think that everyone complaining about historical accuracy is missing the point.
The real problem is the film looks so blandly generic that dressing it up with mammoths and sabertooth tigers in Babylon won’t bring anything interesting to the movie. 10000BC looks so generic that the movie poster should be:
All I really needed to see was that it was a Roland Emmerich movie. His movies are always crowd-pleasing logic-free cheesefests, like Independence Day, Stargate, Godzilla (remake) etc.
Dammit, I want accuracy. Where are the aliens who built the pyramids?
