I finally picked up 10,000 B.C. last night, and it was a lot better than I anticipated it to be. It was a nice surprise. Based on the reviews of the critics I was expecting something of poorer quality. It's pretty hard for people to visualize what life was like just 100 years ago prior to the introduction of things like transportation and of course computers. People lived their lives in a very different way than what we are familiarized to today.
Just picture how hard it would be to wrap your head around living more than 12,000 years ago! 10,000 B.C. is a massive action flick about a group of primitive people fighting each other in the heart of a world filled with wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and big freaking killer birds.
Now, I've already said this flick wasn't as bad as I thought. On the one side, you've got the hunter-gatherer tribe that bags the occasional wooly mammoth. On the other side, you've got their enemy, a corrupt Egyptian-like civilization which thrives on slave labor and human sacrifices.
One of the best moments in the movie is the beginning of the slave revolt. A guy is whipping a black man who he thinks is a slave, beating him unmercifully. But he isn't a slave, he is a mighty warrior, and he is being patient, enduring the pain in silence. When the signal is given to start the revolt, the warrior turns on the guy with the whip and picks him up by the neck with one giant arm. The look on that guy's face is priceless. He realizes too late that he is no longer in charge.
