Review:
To anyone who has ever yearned to see woolly mammoths
in full stampede across the Alps, 10,000 BC can be heartily recommended.
There's also a flock of "terror birds"--lethal ostriches on steroids--in a
steaming jungle only a splice away from the heroes' snow-dusted alpine habitat.
And lo, somewhere in the vastness of the North African desert lies a city whose
slave inhabitants alternately teem like the crowds in Quo Vadis during
the burning of Rome and trudge in hieratically menacing formations like the
workers in Metropolis...more

Plot Summary: From director Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day," "The Day
After Tomorrow") comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and
gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth.
In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter D'Leh (Steven Strait) has found his
heart's passion - the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). But when a band of
mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh leads a small
group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. As
they venture into unknown lands for the first time, the group discovers there
are civilizations beyond their own and that mankind's reach is far greater than
they ever knew. At each encounter the group is joined by other tribes who have
been attacked by the slave raiders, turning D'Leh's once-small band into an
army.
Driven by destiny, the unlikely warriors must battle prehistoric predators while
braving the harshest elements. At their heroic journey's end, they uncover a
lost civilization and learn their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond
imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies.
Here they will take their stand against a tyrannical god who has brutally
enslaved their own. And it is here that D'Leh finally comes to understand that
he has been called to save not only Evolet but all of civilization.

How to explain the agreeably bone-headed "10,000 B.C"? "Ice
Age 2" may be more historically accurate. Actual young women circa
10,000 B.C. probably didn't wear enough eyeliner to have it dribble down
their cheeks, discreetly, while heaving lovelorn sighs and uttering to
their valiant men: "You came for me."...more

low-test "Apocalypto," minus Mel Gibson's gore-mongering and

An epic adventure of such towering testosterone counts and
