10,000 bc

In (would you believe it) 10,000bc we see a tribe in Egypt surviving the only way they know how through hunting and their faiths in the Gods and prophecies of the future. In this clan we see our hero D'Leh (Steven Strait)grow up wanting to gain honour and win the girl he loves, Evolet (Camilla Belle) all at the same time. When 'four legged demons' (men on horses wearing slipknot type masks) arrive and kidnap half of the clan including his one true love, D'leh goes on a mission to find Evolet and save his tribe. The film then goes on to find our hero and heroine saving the day in very different ways as the whole plot unfolds.

When going to see this film I think your opinion of whether you like it or not is going to be thoroughly based on whether or not you've seen Mel Gibson's Apocolypto.

Although well acted and even well written the enjoyment of this film is ruined and thrown to 'how bored am I?' ville by the fact that it has all the same characteristics, storylines and even characters as Apocolypto only without use of subtitles and set in a slightly earlier era.

The innocence of the film and the simple shots makes this a film all the family can enjoy, it's not too gory and they all manage to keep their clothes on unlike Apocolypto so in it's plus side if you were a kid too young to see Apocolypto then you can see this one and get pretty much the same idea.

Having said that, being someone who saw the previous Mel Gibson film, I was dissapointed and slightly bored in quite a few integral parts of this film, and though it did, just, manage to keep my attention for the duration, I would not be able to sit through it again. An idea that would have worked well had it been original with good directing and a well chosen cast I have to say it lost points in the the plotline so only gets a simple 3 faces from me.
