I’d like to tell you that I liked this movie, but I didn’t. Skip this one.
10,000 BC is a fantastic tale. Too fantastic. Our hero leads his people and their effort to track down an enemy on horseback that came and took their tribe, and hauled them off to Egypt. In few numbers, and in gathering allies along the way, they chased them down and changed the world.
I dunno. Maybe I’m just getting old. The saber-tooth tiger was distracting — it looks that fake. The gathering of tribes seems, well, impossible. I was more interested in their hunt than I was in their trip to Egypt. I’d rather curl up with Jared Diamond’s books.
It’s not Bangkok Dangerous, but I should have picked a different movie for tonight. Poor, poor choice on my part. My bad.

You had that whole pile of Pink Panther movies and chose 10,000 BC? You’re slipping dude.

I know, I know. I was thinking I would slip this one in, and then binge on Peter Sellers over the weekend. I chose poorly, as they say.

Yeah, pretty much.
