MOVIE RECOMMENDATION : 10,000 B.C. (English)
Category : Action, Adventure / Starring : Steven Straits, Camilla Belle, Marco Khanlian, Cliff Curtis
I was definitely looking forward for this movie and it was great that it did not disappoint me. The scale of the movie was grand, and I liked it. Underlying all the stunts, saber-tooth tigers, prehistoric predators, wolly mammoths, is a love story, of a young hunter D'Leh, who leads his tribe to track down the warlords who kidnapped his lover, Evolet.
Steven Strait and Camilla Belle, what a beautiful couple to watch. Their chemistry in the movie was great, Camilla's blue eyes were captivating, and Steven definitely pulled it off being the courageous hero in this movie. Here's a clip of an interview done with both of them:-

I completely disagree. The movie is horrible. I was expecting a show that can transport me back in time (just as how equivalent shows like Titanic and Troy etc) tried as much as possible to depict events through extensive research (but of course, you can't deny the hollywood factor, there are distortions here and there, but nonetheless acceptable). Obviously, there was no research at all for this movie.
In the case of 10,000 BC, almost the entire historical theme was incongruous and silly. Those dinosaur-age birds at the time of mammoths and saber-tooth tigers? Wait a minute, was it stone age or ice age or bronze age? If stone age, how come got metal weapons? And did the producer expect me to believe that in a matter of days they could travel (by foot) from the mountainous icy tundra to hot tropical jungle, then to the savannah and finally to the vast sandy Saharan desert to reach the obviously narrow Nile river. And of course, pyramids at 10,000 BC??? And mammoth helping to build the pyramids??? You've got to be kidding!! Perhaps they travelled through time as well?? (In 1.5 hours, they've moved on from 10,000 BC to 2000 BC!!).
The story was, oh well, boring. The acting was weak and unconvincing. Steven Strait didn't look like a 10,000 BC hero at all. At least in Troy, Brad Pitt potrayed himself much much better as a warrior.
The only consolation was to see Steven's beautiful bod....
Maybe I misread the way the movie 10,000 BC was promoted. Maybe it was promoted/classified to be a fantasy/magical movie (like King Kong/Harry Potter/Jurassic Park kind) rather than based on (fairly) accurate/realistic facts.
Does it really matter how a movie is promoted? Whichever 'categories' they may be classified, many movies for a fact succeeded because they're based on elements which viewers see pass, magical, fantasy, overly far-out stunts, monsters, giants, I think they really don't make any difference, they're telling stories which don't exist in real life today, and for some reasons give the movies more 'zest' which the viewers enjoy. I thought 10,000bc was OK by the way people, nothing to shout about, but OK.
