What to Know

Critics Consensus

With attention strictly paid to style instead of substance, or historical accuracy, 10,000 B.C. is a visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic.

Roland Emmerich's prehistoric odyssey 10,000 BC is his silliest, most preposterous blockbuster to date. But it's lots of fun, too. Go to Full Review

Prehistoric compared to 1966's One Million BC, this is a movie so bad our government should have demanded its tax-break back. Go to Full Review

Robert C @BulletBob 1 day ago Clumsy. Poor acting and unbelievable, poorly told storyline. See more
TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 3 days ago 10,000 BC was not the film I expected. The concept had potential, but the CGI was disappointing, even considering when the movie was made. The story felt drawn out, and I struggled to stay interested. I would not call it awful, but it was very average. The delivery never matched the promise. The screenplay was my biggest problem. The pacing felt uneven, and the writing included things that did not seem necessary. There was too much dialogue for a film that should have relied more on action and visual storytelling. I wanted more creativity and excitement, but much of the movie felt flat. Ultimately, 10,000 BC had the ingredients for an entertaining adventure, but they never came together. The story and creative choices needed more work, and the execution fell short. I can appreciate what the filmmakers attempted, but the result did not connect with me. It is an OK film, just not one I would recommend. See more
Max F @RT60053436 Oct 21, 2026 I would give this THING a negative number score if I could. This is by far the worst film I have seen. And I would rather flip the off switch than to condemn myself to watching this again. See more
Maddi G @maddi968 Sep 13, 2026 This movie made me break down crying cause my dad made me watch it. I couldn’t finish it because wtf was going on. My eyes hurt from crying. My dad didn’t even like it idk why he put it on he wants me to suffer. See more
kinga T @RT24013962 May 29, 2026 This is the best movie I have ever watched, it’s very emotional and moving. I’ve seen this at least 15 times and I usually make my friends watch it. Every scene is perfectly acted and displays the true life of our ancestors. I think everyone should watch it at least twice. So sad there isn’t a part 2. This movie perfectly executed my daily life struggles and I was so engaged throughout the 1 hour and 49 minutes. The movie is so realistic I forget I’m not in 10,000 BC. I felt the fear that ooga booga felt when the sabertooth spared his life and I also was moved by the scene with the baseball bat. It’s truly inspiring and innovative. Every day I wake up I long to experience this movie again. I’m jealous of the people watching it for the first time. See more
thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 17, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more
