Looking up what people have to say about Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC, it's safe to say that the story is historically inaccurate. None of the events portrayed occur around the year it suggests. Scrap the title and all of this goes away. Pushing amicable squabbles aside, 10,000 BC's imagery is outstanding. That's it. Story isn't much to go by, as tribesman D'Leh (Steven Strait) works his way through perilous tasks to save the one he loves (Camilla Belle). There are no twists. There are no turns. Just a linear, predictable-ness that has me wondering why I'm watching this to the end. Roland Emmerich can do so much better. 

1.5/5
