Words cannot express how bad this movie is. Even my husband, who loves mindless blockbusters, was ready to leave 30 minutes into it. I was ready to leave about 30 seconds into it.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TERRIBLE.
There were so many things wrong with this movie. First of all, the village elder has a First Nations look to her. Believable. So, how then, with no other tribes or villages in sight, do all the younger people look as if they were the product of mixing with European cultures? Then, when the "four-legged demons" come, it turns out they are Middle Eastern/Indian-looking men on horseback with metal helmets. What???! Domestic horses and metal helmets?? In 10,000 BC?? And isn't it getting a little old casting Middle Easterners and Indians as the bad guys?? Aren't we sick of this BS yet??
Even forgetting the terrible EVERYTHING about this movie, if one were only going for the CGI and war scenes, the first half hour has about two minutes of action and the rest is sentimental, misogynistic drivel about who is going to win the right to take the blue-eyed outsider as a wife. She just sits around being useless while the camera closes up on her white skin and blue eyes. Are you kidding me? GAG.
Do yourself a favour and rent Conan the Barbarian, because it's waaaay better than this piece of poo.
