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.

| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxMy 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. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThis is actually a movie you forget while watching it. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsEmmerich has no time for poetry or magic, even when the director and his digital wizards (here doing wildly variable work) are trying to dazzle. He’s a taskmaster and a field marshall, not a visionary. But I enjoyed 10,000 B.C. more and more, and more than just about anything Emmerich’s done before. |
| MovieJuice!Mark RamseyI don't know about you, but if I want to get excited about an ancient mammal I'll tune in Janice Dickinson. |
| EDGE BostonDavid FoucherThe little-prehistoric-epic-that-could actually delivers an entertaining couple of hours. |
| MSNBCAlonso DuraldeA lovely-to-look-at but ultimately forgettable adventure flick that feels like a cross between Land of the Pharaohs and the greatest hits of Joseph Campbell. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyEmmerich's epic is a formulaic mishmash of a movie, visually sweeping but silly blend of actioner, adventure, man vs. nature, man vs. animal -- above all, a reminder of how superior Mel Gibson's Apocalypto was. |
| Film ThreatFelix Vasquez Jr.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... |
| Dallas Morning NewsTom MaurstadYou may be expecting a showcase of cutting-edge visuals -- isn't the appeal of the title the implicit promise of seeing a lost world re-created to presumably dazzling effect? But for the most part, it's just barren landscapes and people in animal skins. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfEmmerich 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. |
