2/5
"As a series of set pieces looking for any available fable to keep it afloat, 10,000 BC is really nothing more than computing power and implausibility."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

D+
"Emmerich has never been one to rely on the wizardry of nuance, but I was stunned to feel numb to nearly everything B.C. offered, as if my mind immediately detected a filmmaker looking to brazenly cash in on his past successes."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

"Surely it's only coincidence that the sign of D'Leh's accomplishment is a White Spear."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/5
"I have to give Emmerich credit for creating a film that's been funnier than '27 Dresses' or 'Over Her Dead Body.'"  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

B+
"The little-prehistoric-epic-that-could actually delivers an entertaining couple of hours."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

1/4
"10,000 B.C. is a load of crap dressed up with pretty background vistas. The film is terminally lifeless, something that a so-called 'event' picture should never be."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"It's just a wrong movie altogether, an elaborately nonsensical stew of crazy costumes, bizarre accessories, and funny voices."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D-
"Roland Emmerich has a remarkable talent for draining all the life out of interesting stories."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/5
"Strait has to be one of the most unsympathetic cardboard heroes of the genre, while Bell leaves little reason to care for her beyond her bitching dreadlocks..."  Film Threat  Felix Vasquez Jr.

F
"This crackpot combination of Pathfinder and Apocalypto [is] a brainless exercise in prehistoric goofiness that actually affords more laughs than Ice Age."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/4
"10,000 B.C. isn't only brain-dead, it's completely dead. It's inert and without a heartbeat."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/4
"In an age where ... audiences reward blood-and-thunder films ... at the box office, greenlighting 10,000 B.C. must have seemed logical. I can imagine someone pitching the film ...by saying "It's like 300 .... plus 9,700!""  Cinematical  James Rocchi

3/10
"Click here to read review"  sumno.com  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

1/5
"ena matso kakomoirides sernontai stin ammo kai ton ilio, s' ena ftino, proheiro, afeles kai kakogoysto deigma karampinatis gerontikis anoias toy Emmerich"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

2/5
"Too much of 10,000 BC seems to be sampled from other movies that preceded it"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/4
"The kind of movie that people will discover new and hilarious ways to mock for years to come."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

D
"With a dreadfully dull story and performances as petrified as 12,000-year-old wooden artifacts, 10,000 BC shambles along as if on a march to its own extinction."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"Oh my god: the silly, it burns. It burns!"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"If Mel Gibson remade Apocalypto and cast it with the Geico cavemen, he might end up with something akin to 10,000 B.C.."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"If you are ten years old fan of video games with a short attention span and no knowledge of history, you will love this movie. The further you stray from these core qualifications, the less you will love it."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"Roland Emmerich is partial to cutting-edge special effects and stone-age storytelling, meaning that 10,000 B.C., a dim-witted CG extravaganza set in prehistoric times, is something like his ideal project."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"This may well be the first prehistoric epic in which the liberal deployment of such words as "oog," "agh" and "uck" would have actually improved the screenplay considerably."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2.5/5
"Even though there's never a hint of either research or gritty realism, it's still good fun."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1/5
"One of the stupidest and most boring films of the year."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

D
"One can only infer that, in order for it to be taken seriously, the makers expected audiences to forget pretty much every movie they'd ever seen before in their entire life."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

D
"My poor brain hung in there for as long as it could, but it lost its grip during the giant chicken attack and I haven't seen it since."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

"... a dull compendium of recycled adventure epic cliches."  Seanax.com  Sean Axmaker

0.5/4
"crap, and more crap in a crap bucket"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

"10,000 BC would be much better if it allowed itself the freedom to be kitsch."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

5/10
"While admittedly formulaic and banal, it's also a guilty pleasure for those who enjoy watching stampeding herds of woolly mammoths."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

5/10
"Just barely good enough to fulfill the needs of an audience starved for any sort of effects-driven film that hardly sticks in the brain for more than a few minutes after it's over."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

0/4
"It's a film that countryman Uwe Boll would have made had he the budget and the cinematographer"  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
