Movie Reviews

Orlando Sentinel - 6/10 by Jay BoyarDirector Michael Chapman, an experienced cinematographer, is skilled in conveying ideas through pictures -- quite an advantage in a movie about people who aren't especially verbal. And Chapman's cinematographer, Jan De Bont, has a varied palette that responds to the visual demands of a world in transition.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Janet Maslin[It] has a gentle approach to its characters and an occasionally striking visual style. What it doesn't have is much momentum or originality.
Kansas City Kansan - 4/10 by Steve CrumAs the cave wall says, stay with the book.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 4/10 by Tim BraytonA goofy and ill-made movie that wants to be deadly serious and acts incredibly daft, and the average between these two points is of a joyless, dull nothing.
Time Out - 4/10 by Roger EbertThe filmmakers made no effort to empathize with their prehistoric characters, to imagine what it might have really been like back then.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Sheila BensonAfter much time with this soggy, quarrelsome clan, your sympathies may lie entirely with the bear.
Newsweek - 3/10 by Jack KrollThe cinematic adaptation of the novel, however, is so laughably awful that Auel later sued the producers for creating such an inaccurate work.
User Review - 10/10 by Steve CSURVIVAL ,basic insticts, ....great movie !!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Shauna SThis is a movie where the actors actually had to act. It was amazing.
User Review - 10/10 by MEC rI have read the books and while agree that there are few films that can live up to their original texts, i have to urge people to see this film in the hopes of exposing them to the books and the ideas
