NO-ONE really knows what it was like to be alive in 10,000 BC, apart from the archaeological evidence. But it is a fair bet that it was nothing like the goings-on in this film.

SIZE matters, went the publicity slogan for German director Roland Emmerich's inane, lavishly effects- laden 1998 remake of Godzilla.

Roland Emmerich's prehistoric odyssey 10,000 BC is his silliest, most preposterous blockbuster to date. But it's lots of fun, too, says Sukhdev Sandhu.

Wendy Ide Don't expect Roland Emmerich's 10,000BC to make much sense, historically, geographically or logically. This is an effects-driven action flick that happens to be wearing a leather loincloth and brandishing a spear. Its prehistoric setting is less about musing on the origins of Man and more about devising new and exciting ways to put its characters in jeopardy - yikes! Woolly mammoth stampede!...

10,000 B.C. Directed by: Roland Emmerich Written by: Roland Emmerich and Harald Kloser Starring: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis There are few filmmakers working today who can claim to make movies that are as big and gloriously brainless as Roland Emmerich’s. Tony Scott comes close, as do Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but they manage to be [...]

Unless there’s a new James Toback film waiting in the wings, we might not read a piece of film criticism this year as scathing as the review handed out to “10,000 B.C.” by the Baltimore Sun's Michael Scragow : 10,000 B.C. may take place in the moviemakers’ fanciful vision of life 10,000 years before Christ, but [...]

“10,000 BC” 2008 * out of **** Director: Roland Emmerich Cast: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis History has it that after Roland Emmerich made “Godzilla” and “The Day After Tomorrow,” he became tired of critics shitting on his movies, and went back to fourth grade history class to learn about the people who lived 12,000 years before him. He was told by his teacher that they all spoke English...

10,000 B.C. Directed by Roland Emmerich Starring Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis Rated PG-13 (violence) 110 minutes Critic's rating: C- It's tough to take cavemen seriously. In media, at least, prehistoric humans tend to come off as buffoons (Ringo Starr in “Caveman”), anachronisms (the Geico TV commercial guys) or expressionless bores (Daryl Hannah in “Clan of the Cave Bear”). [...]

The future has been done to death. We have seen way into the next century, and Emmerich himself has given us a glimpse into The Day After Tomorrow.

A mix of vast computer-generated spectacle and small, silly moments, the prehistoric saga "10,000 B.C." is an epic in name only.

Kurt Loder says "10,000 B.C." "recalls the overblown Hollywood biblical epics of the 1950s, with all their attendant anachronisms and free-floating cheese."

There are bad movies. There are hack directors. But with 10,000 B.C ., a prehistoric epic that deserves extinction, Roland Emmerich enters a whole new tar pit of crapitude.
