I saw 10,000 B.C. in theaters and remember loving it. The next day, I went online and was amazed to realize that it got only 10% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Most of the complaints were regarding historical accuracy. Really??? It's a fantasy movie, and all you're interested in is historical accuracy?
This is one of those situations where critics largely disagreed with viewers, as the movie was a box office success and is getting almost 3.5 stars on Amazon. Unlike critics, most people prefer action filled entertainment over scientific timelines. And this movie delivered entertainment by the bucketload. Critics generally agreed that this movie was visually stunning, drawing visual comparisons to Jurassic Park or even Lord of the Rings. However, unlike viewers, they were generally hung up on whether or not this movie was historically accurate or not. And regardless, why should I trust a movie critic about science anyways?
In conclusion, if you are expecting Blue Planet, then you will hate 10,000 B.C. However, if imaginative fantasies don't make your blood boil, give this movie a try.
