Story: 10,000 BC starts as we meet the mammoth hunting tribe where Tic’Tic (Curtis) leads the hunts, while an outcast from the tribe D’Leh (Strait) looks to make an impact with fellow outsider Evolet (Belle), as D’leh takes his place as the man that took down a mammoth.

When another tribe of warriors invades the land, Evolet is taken and Tic’Tic, D’Leh, Baku and others lead the quest to rescue her and turn their tribe back into the warriors they know they are.

Thoughts on 10, 000 BC

Thoughts10,000 BC is an action adventure movie that will show one man looking to lead his tribe in a quest to save their own, only for them to discover he has the ability to bring others together against a common enemy. This is the typical rise up against a bigger threat, where each chapter will see a new lesson to make our hero a stronger leader. The fact this is set in the prehistoric era, gives us glimpse into the creature of this world, with them not being as big of a factor in everything going on, which would have made this a lot more entertaining to watch. This is an entertaining enough action adventure, but it does seem to lack a full connection to make it reach the promised potential.

Final Thoughts 10,000 BC is an easy to watch action adventure.
