10,000 BC

I remember when this movie first came out. I was intrigued that the previews didn't really give anything away, but I guess the other side of that is that I didn't really know anything about it. Anyway, this movie hit theaters with horrible reviews and an even worse opening weekend, because of that, I didn't watch it.

I have this theory that every bad movie can be made better with a bad review. Likewise, a good movie can be ruined by a good review. It's like in order to get someone to enjoy something you have to kind of hate on it a little bit. Otherwise they expect to much.

With that in mind, I really enjoyed this movie despite (though maybe I should say "because of") all the bad reviews it got back in the day. It has action, adventure, and excitement. It's not an historical movie in any way, more of an action-adventure type of film.

10,000 BC is a movie that follows the character D'leh as he fights to get his friend, Evolet back from the Egyptian slavers that stole her. He must traverse the dangers of nature other societies as he traverses from the mountains through the forest and across the desert. In order to save his bff and possibly lover someday.

As for historical accuracy, it's hard to say I think just how much of this would be true for he people living at the time. In a way, it feels more like a fantasy in a mythical world than it does being in 10,000 BC on Earth.

Overall: B. Nothing really new here, but it was fun and exciting to watch. I liked the adventure aspect of it. It does get a little harder to follow towards the end a little bit when they get to ancient Egypt, but it was still fun.
