10,000 B.C.

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

It was a classic Knight in Shining Armour story. Boy wins girl, girl gets kidnapped, boy leads rag tag team to rescue girl.
Except this movie was far from Medieval. It was pre-historic.

The story begin possibly somewhere in Europe, where the Hero’s tribe is facing some difficult times. A seeress predicts the coming of great doom on their people, and sure enough many years later, it happens. A band of slavers come and take many men from the tribe as slaves, and also the Woman of our Hero. So our Hero forms a small party and goes off in chase, taking him to Africa and a fictional version of Egypt.

The actors in the movie are relatively unknown to me, but they held their roles quite well and weren’t corny or cheesy and etc.

The movie was also quite short, only an around 1 hour 30 minutes. Story pace was good, though some characters were introduced too late to properly be established by more than a simple narration. There wasn’t enough fighting too, and the fighting scenes, though cool, were somewhat sub par.

It was a good movie anyway, somewhere around 3 stars :)
