10,000 B. C.

(USA/Germany/South Africa, 2008, 105 minutes)

After his fellow tribesmen are kidnapped by a mysterious foreign tribe, a pre-historic hunter fulfills his destiny by leading a coalition of tribes into rescuing them. Dull, plodding epic that takes itself far too seriously while relying too much on state-of-the-art visual effects and dazzling aerial imagery to conjure the emotion its artless script and non-existing performances is incapable of generating.
