When I saw the trailer for this film I thought "Wow. This film looks pretty good actually." However when I saw it at the cinema in March 2008, it became one of the few films that I actually regretted watching and wasting my money on. I was going to walk out of the cinema after 40 minutes of the film but I wanted to carry on with it to see if it would improve but it wasn't to be. What was so bad about it was that it didn't even try and make us actually make it feel enjoyable. The story was really lame which ripped off three great masterpieces: Dances With Wolves, Apocalypto and 300. I was really annoyed with that. 10,000 BC is a film that could have been made into a really amazing film if there was a different director and also if the plot was adapted a bit better. As far as I'm concerned any film critic who thought this film was good should be fired. It was so bad I wouldn't even call 10,000 BC entertaining. It made me feel like I was in a coma for weeks because the film lasted forever and I couldn't get into it at all. On a slight change of heart here but the one thing that this film did have was good visual effects. I found D'Leh a really stupid character that is just a complete waste of space because I couldn't feel him being a hero at all really. D'Leh is a mammoth hunter and is like the leader of the group Yagahls.
The actor Steven Strait was charming enough for the character but it rips off too much of Gerard Butler's King Leonidas because of his so-called heroic style and also because of the types of clothes he wears as well. Also, The Almighty rips off Xerxes and also of what happens to The Almighty is the same as what happened to Xerxes in 300 which really annoyed me as well.
I truly hate Roland Emmerich now because he has made lots of piles of crap over the years. The only good film he has done is The Day After Tomorrow. I am not going to watch 2012 which is his upcoming film because I know I will have wasted my money and valuable time watching a film that will be a waste.
10,000 BC is a film that is unfortunately poorly directed. I personally think Emmerich tries to make this film like a comic book film just like 300. Emmerich has a so-called talent on making films about disasters and unfortunate events but this one was new to him and he became very mis-directed with this one. As far as I'm concerned, Emmerich is a director that likes to humiliate and make other directors feel crumbled by their great works such as Mel Gibson and Zack Snyder. I feel quite embarrassed to say that but might as well be honest. Why this film didn't earn any Razzie nominations, I am totally stunned by. Emmerich should earn glory for making such a shit film. It is a masterpiece of awful films. This is for me the worst film of 2008 with Be Kind Rewind just behind it. It is a real spoof and I absolutely HATE spoofs. It is Roland Emmerich's worst film to date. This film made him become in my opinion the worst filmmaker of all time.
Overall, 10,000BC is an ultimate disaster of cinema that has hit one of my 10 worst films of all time. I would never recommend this film to anybody on Earth but if you want to go and spend wasteful money and time then that's up to you. If you are just looking for so-called entertainment then you could find this enjoyable. It is a very awful film that I deeply regret watching. It showed me a very horrid side towards cinema and I hate Roland Emmerich for that!!
