How realistic is the movie 10,000 bc?

Question

thats the question...

havent seen it trying to decide whether or not to...

Answer 1

The current issue pf "Archeology" has a page on the movie.It's title is "A Mammoth Waste."

Remarks include "rehashing the fictional paste", "elephants too large...hunters trying to catch them with nets.", "patchwork of scenes done better in other films","stilted caveman speak" and "The only thing this film says is, "give me your money."

Nope, not realistic.

Answer 2

Weren't those dinosaurs I saw in the preview?  Also, mammoths were still around then, but they never lived in the desert.  They weren't made for very hot weather.  And 12,000 years ago was far too early for such giant buildings.  For that sort of architecture, you need a fairly large, stable population from which you can pull workers.  For that kind of population, you need agriculture.  The Neolithic Revolution didn't occur until, oh, about 2,000 years later.  Egypt wouldn't see that kind of architecture until 3,000 BC at the earliest.

I just got that from the preview.  If they're s******g with history enough to put mammoths in ancient Egypt, then it's really, really not anywhere near accurate.  I'm planning on seeing it, when I can rent it, just to laugh at the nonsense.

Answer 3

It's actually based on a true story.
