10,000 BC

An entertaining little epic that was great fun if you don't expect too much. Comic book dialogue and comic book plotting, with far too much being driven by convenient prophecies and coincidence, but some lovely visuals and costuming, and some sweet peripheral Hollywood cheese, like the friendship between two minor teenaged characters. Definitely don't look here for accuracy or cleverness, though: it didn't even have the sense of a real civilisation, the claustrophobia or the sense of prevailing against the odds Apocalypto managed.
