10,000 B.C. (2008)

In “10,000 B.C.” a young warrior (Steven Strait of “Sky High”) is hunting big hairy mammoths with his tribesmen one day and then chasing after the mysterious “four-legged demons” (that is, men on horses) who took his woman the next. This is a disaster movie of a different sort from Roland Emmerich, master of the Earth in Peril genre (“2012”). The set-up, including the temple climax is much like Mel Gibson’s 2006 adrenaline bloodbath “Apocalypto,” but made for little boys who gawk at the “PG-13” rating. I just yawned at the so-so actors mucking about as cavemen with bad wigs and clean shaven faces out of a Norelco commercial, fighting nothing more deadly than continuously bad CGI. Everything on screen -– languages, climates, animals, those pyramids -- are sure to give scientists and Creationists alike heart attacks as they fume over what’s correct. Me? The movie's not worth any effort. D+
