An average movie

Even though this movie had a rather lame reputation, I really loved the idea of making a blockbuster feature set in the prehistoric era so I still wanted to check it out. Eventually, since I had some rather low expectations, I thought it would be total crap and, indeed, it was nothing great,  but, in my opinion, it wasn't so bad after all. I mean, I have to admit it, Steven Strait was one of the weakest lead actors I have ever seen (it is hardly surprising that his career never took off after this movie flopped) and the story was really too similar to 'Apocalypto' but, still, I don’t think this movie was a total failure. I mean, it is not very often that you get to see a blockbuster dealing with the prehistoric era and the whole thing was visually pretty impressive. So, this movie really had some potential and I think it could have been great. Unfortunately, Roland Emmerich didn’t try at all to deliver a convincing or even entertaining tale so the end-result was still rather disappointing. To conclude, I have to admit, it is and remains an average summer blockbuster but I don’think it was as awful as everyone seems to think.
