    Storyline

    Edit
    A pseudo-orphaned semi-outcast since his father left his mammoth hunting tribe on a secret, prophecy-related mission, D'Leh grows up as protégé of master hunter Tic'Tic. Putting truth first, he sacrifices his cheater chance to win status and the charmed girl Evolet, who thus falls to his rival-buddy Ka'Ren. The couple is among the captives taken by horse-riding slave-hunters, but D'Leh takes charge of an epic rescue mission that follows the caravan all the way to the pyramid building site of a 'living god'. By winning the support of a people he impressed on the way thanks to a saber-tooth he once saved and secretly forging a slave rise, he bids for his people's liberation. —KGF Vissers

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 1h 10 mins) The film includes a glimpse of a map showing Atlantis off the coast of Spain. It's a reference to Plato's theory that the construction techniques used in Egypt were imported from the ancient lost civilization of Atlantis.
    • Goofs
      Chili peppers and corn are from the Americas. They weren't grown in the "Old World" until after 1500.
    • Quotes

      Tic'Tic: A good man draws a circle around himself and cares for those within. His woman, his children.

      Tic'Tic: Other men draw a larger circle and bring within their brothers and sisters.

      Tic'Tic: But some men have a great destiny. They must draw around themselves a circle that includes many, many more.

      Tic'Tic: Your father was one of those men. You must decide for yourself whether you are, as well.

    Roland Emmerich hits a new low
    Well, aside from the historical inaccuracies that everyone has pointed out, this movie had horrid acting, insipid dialog, and a cliché plot line that any moderately skilled elementary school kid could have written. So what are the redeeming qualities of this movie? The scenery, some of the CGI, and that's about it. On a technical level, I found it hilarious that for all the hype about this movie, it was far worse than I could have imagined. Someone made a comment about the lighting of this movie. There were definitely inconsistencies in the lighting, which added to the list of things wrong with this movie and made it feel like perhaps it was a rushed project.

    I think if this movie were made without any dialog except for the narrative, it would have been much more enjoyable as a whole.
