Prehistoric compared to 1966's One Million BC, this is a movie so bad our government should have demanded its tax-break back.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2022

It is a solidly good movie, a sincere Valentine to the best Stone Age fantasy fiction.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 29, 2022

Rather than storytelling, it thrives on its CG effects.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Those stampeding mammoths... [are] the jewel of this wild adventure film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2020

A remarkably beautiful yet soulless film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Nothing more than a standard boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and boy becomes a man to save the girl, with the Geico cavemen thrown in.

| Original Score: F | Oct 29, 2019

A prehistoric train wreck.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

It is inconceivable that filmmakers as experienced as Emmerich and his team didn't know they were making a bad movie.

| Oct 11, 2018

A lousier adventure movie you won't find this year: 10,000 B.C. belongs, if not back in the stone age, then at least back in the mid '90s, where this sort of mindless, effects-driven drivel is best left.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012

All [Emmerich] cares about is not being boring. On that level, he succeeds.

One of the biggest problems with the film is the casting.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 14, 2012

Some backgrounds look as though Roland Emmerich and crew broke into a museum after hours and filmed in dioramas. Rather than a disaster film, this was just plain disaster - a departure from Emmerich's usually effective milieu and his most moronic movie.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Sep 25, 2010

Violent, poorly conceived prehistoric action.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 24, 2010

Heavy on moronic mysticism and light on imagination, excitement, and shot-to-shot coherence

10,000 BC takes film making back to the stone age...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 3, 2009

Brace yourself for a mammoth disappointment.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 24, 2009

People expecting a fun action movie will be severely disappointed. If you get drunk with some buddies and go to make fun of it, you might like it more. But that doesn't make it a good movie

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 22, 2008

Would make a good drinking game; silly fun but not "good." A critic sitting near me snorted in derision at my "the costumes kicked ass," but I won't back down. They were really cool.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2008

I can't help but think that 10,000 BC started out as an idea that sounded like, "Wouldn't it be cool if we had wooly mammoths and saber toothed tigers and people all in the same movie?" and went from there.

| Jun 28, 2008

A disaster that can't even get the computer generated images right.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 20, 2008
