my opinion after seeing it today. Heres a report
ROLAND Emmerich's Pleistocenic-age saga recalls movies of another era when adjectives such as "colossal", "breathtaking" and "tumultuous" were thrown about by publicity hacks to excite audiences.


As soft as plasticine at its core, Emmerich's mythical adventure that lacks convincing performances nonetheless entertains with state-of-the-art CGI effects.


Good-looking lead stars in Steven Strait (as young hunter D'Leh) and Camilla Belle, as the oddly blue-eyed beauty Evolet kidnapped by "four-legged demons", are our guides on the adventure odyssey the Independence Day and Day After Tomorrow director co-wrote with producer Harald Kloser.


Think of the early Tarzan movies and you have a hint of the style of English these early citizens speak.


It's the "many moons ago" sort of claptrap that primitive tribes speak in Hollywood-land.


Apart from the leads, Kiwi Cliff Curtis as D'Leh's mentor Tic'Tic is the only other familiar name in the cast of thousands, many of them unknown Kiwis and Africans recruited when the film was shooting in New Zealand, Namibia and South Africa.


The big screen is necessary for the mocked-up mighty mammoths as well as the ferocious giant-sized man-eating chickens and one solitary sabre-toothed tiger that add excitement to an otherwise conventional boy hunter rescues pretty girl chase saga.


Unintentional laughter comes from the character of Old Mother (Mona Hammond).


Back in the snow-capped hills, she's sensitive enough to go into convulsions or suffer a nose bleed when she senses danger confronting D'Leh and Evolet.


It's not as though they're in the next field. They've travelled many moons and over many distant hills to the great snake (river) curling through the desert.


Here, where the film's climax occurs, assorted slaves are busy constructing what appear to be the Great Pyramids of Egypt.


D'Leh has to rescue Evolet who carries "The Mark of the Hunter" and throws the mythical God running the show into great confusion.


A feeble-sounding Omar Sharif provides a noble narration which is never specific about where D'Leh and his fellow hunters live these 10,000 years BC. It's best to ignore the specific details (like who makes the clothes and jewellery) and let the special effects wizards take over with their rampaging mobs of mammoths and the thrills that mark the entrance of the sabre-toothed tiger, more frightening than One Eye (Marco Khan) who lusts after the luscious Evolet.

Read Clan of the Cavebear & leave it at that. Hell, the 80s movie based on that book is probably better than this movie!
