10,000 B.C.

Mediocrity Abound
Franz Patrick - wrote on 08/31/08

Everyone loves to hate this movie but it really wasn’t that bad. I think one of the main reasons why people disliked this film is because the trailers promised an epic greatness. As it turns out, the picture turns out to be hugely inaccurate and not as magneficient as people expected it was going to be. For me, I ignored all the inaccuracies and just focused on how exciting it was and if the story made sense. On both fronts, I thought it was mediocre: there were pulse-pounding scenes but most often followed by tedious speeches when the characters voice out what they think. The story did not really make much sense but it was bearable. “10,000 B.C.” has a handful of similarities with “Apocalypto,” but the latter is a lot more skillful in its storytelling and scope. For those people that claim that this is the worst movie they have even seen, I suggest they watch more movies. This is certainly not the worst; it’s just mindless fun and random action scenes that has something to do with prophecies and the like. It’s really not that bad and I wish people would stop being so histrionic regarding its flaws.
