10,000 B.C.

OK, I am no historian, but I believe this is a fictional adaptation of what the movie writers think to be real history. This was a very enjoyable piece of fiction; I loved the saber tooth tiger and the mammoths. Basically, there is “white” tribe (I use this term loosely, since the actors are from all walks of life), and they are ravaged by a more advanced tribe, who ride horses and use bows & arrows. The men (mostly it is the main character who wants to retrieve the pretty blue-eyed girl), decide to pursue the evil advanced tribe. Along the way, they meet other tribes, first black tribes, and then lighter skinned black tribes (I guess that’s why the movie got bad reviews, since it is unlikely after a few days hike that you would stumble upon a tribe of such a different culture & race) who were similarly ravaged. I won’t give away anymore, but you get the idea that the original “white” tribe collects members from other tribes who want to get their women and children back. It was an entertaining journey, and I enjoyed it, but of course, do you think the boy finally gets the girl? Great special effects, and very entertaining. But definitely not historically correct, if you are a stickler for details. The good new is that it is not like a History Channel documentary type thing. Fun adventure movie, but you might prefer to wait for it to come out on DVD.
