Good movie. Great VFX. But more importantly, is it just me or the main chick in it is hot?

[Jason Rainville]

1. I heard (but didn't see for myself) that this movie is just like Jumper; nice to look at but hollow.
2. There's a movie, music and games section for a reason :)

[Costau D]

The girl is hot.

but, this was a hollow version of apocolypto.

[Kresh]

do you draw? Wtf is it that you do?

Hahahahahaha I love the Lounge

[Costau D]

I dont know. He's probably an artist of a different sort. Because, he's very creative with the posts he makes, even if they are annoying.

Better than any other posts I've seen so far. He hasnt caused any serious damage except bringing forth who is more uptight then the rest of us.

And, You know the more uptight you are the more mediocre you are as an artist.

WOOooo!

*I won't lie, I'm incredibly drunk right now.

[Elwell]

He likes to make werewolf MOVIES!

[jrr]

i haven't seen a good werewolf movie in a really long time. maybe silver bullet, come to think of it, that wasn't very good either.

[Coinpurse]

imho, the main actress was hot! no doubt about it.
The movie was not.

If your looking for a fairly believable storyline, with mediocre acting, and slight realism... Stay away from this film. If you want to see another hollywood film to waste time, go check it out.

[Moai]

SPOILERS...maybe.

Eh. It was okay, as far as pure entertainment value goes. It was fairly cool to look at, but I think the special effects have been overrated. The CG animals (the mammoths, smilodon, etc.) weren't that convincing, in my opinion. The different costumes and cultures really were fun to look at, tough. And the girl was indeed pretty hot; she had a different look than what you usually see in a leading female role.
As for characters and plot, these aspects of the movie were very bland. The characters were dull (especially the main protagonist, ironically), and the plot was mediocre. The villains were defeated far too easily.
The geography of the movie is rather nonsensical, too. We start in the mountains of Europe, travel down through the jungles of South America, to finally reach the Sahara Desert. I realize this is fiction, but...:wtf:.

[Robert.B]

ok let it be known that this movie was horrible I saw it at its opening not really expecting much and getting even less then that. I cant even count how many times the entire theater errupted with laughter at many of the intended edge of your seat momments. The movie honestly felt like a film translation of someones really bad natural history paper. The CG was mediocre and felt very much like CG mixed with video. In the end the movie seemed like one big excuse to animate a stampede of wolly mammoths.

[Coinpurse]

lol @ Moai...
Right on about the locations.
I'm assuming if they didn't start in the Russian steppes, it had to have been North America if anything. And I love how they get to central Africa before even touching the Sahara. Their logic of "crossing the mountains" is completely unjustified imo. One thing I really hated... why are they speaking in english if every other tribe has a native tongue? English wouldn't have arrived for thousands of years later...

[Jason Rainville]

Where have all the good movies gone. Or rather, why doesn't anyone want to see good movies with me :(

[LisandroG]

do you draw? Wtf is it that you do?

hahaha

[kingshaj]

i guess im bootlegin' this one

[stoph]

i enjoyed it for the most part, but the sabre tooth was very unconvincing, and when the top of the pyramid toppled down the slope, it was worse than most cinematics i see for video games. this is supposed to be a blockbuster, and yet they managed to pixellate and lag and provide a completely unrealistic cataclysmic event. other than that, yeh the girl was hot. and for the most part, i was trying all throughout the movie to work out what other movie/tv show her younger self was from

[Jabo]

I'm gonna go and watch it tonight. From what I have seen, it looks totally boring. All those epic battles in cinema the last years have diluted me to all their awesomeness.

Well... it was funny. Unwittingly funny, I have to add. I've never heard 200 people in a cinema laugh so often at points in a movie that were clearly not intended to be funny, but were just so poorly written/cut/played that you couldn't do anything else but laugh your ass off. I'm usually not a picky person when it comes to realism, but walking through three different climate zones in literally a day (and in the wrong order) just isn't acceptable. It was no wonder that even the 90% of people in the cinema who normally wouldn't notice even the biggest faux-pas, were so hit-in-the-face by all the mistakes that they couldn't but do it like Picard.

This turned out to be a typical Disney movie: friendship with animals, muted violence, no sexual content, boy makes friends with another boy, slaves look healthy and seem to be free walking on site, people can walk through a desert without food and water and keep their cool, bad guys have a kind side to them.

If I was a 12 y.old, I probably enjoyed the movie and had fantasies about this girl, who lives in far world, lost in time. The actress is beautiful:

One thing I really hated... why are they speaking in english if every other tribe has a native tongue? English wouldn't have arrived for thousands of years later...

I wouldn't take their speaking English too literally. It's more of a symbolic thing. The people in the movie are leaving their homeland and traveling to other places where people speak languages that they don't understand, so in order for (English speaking) audiences to share this feeling of traveling from the familiar to the unfamiliar, they have the people we're supposed to identify with speak the language that we understand. They don't understand the other languages, so neither do we.

But anyway, some other things that bugged me about this movie.

Why did D'Leh's father leave the tribe?
When the mammoths first appear, they do that typical stupid movie thing where the people only notice them after they are well within view. The mammoths would have been noticed long before there were hundreds of them ambling around in plain view only a few hundred yards away from the characters.
Another typical stupid movie cliche: after meeting the first "African" tribe, D'Leh and Tic'Tic are taken to meet the other tribes of the area. When they do meet the other tribes, those tribes are just standing there in formation in the desert. "I know, let's divide into separate formations based on our tribe of origin and just pose here in the desert until the prophecized white guy comes to meet us. I hope he doesn't take too long." Completely unnatural and unrealistic for people to behave like that.
Instead of wandering through the desert and getting lost, why the fuck didn't they just follow the river?

The RT counter isn't very high.

OMG I asked my grilfriend the same question while we in the theater hahahahah!

Another thing , whats was with the damn tiger? It was basically an add on which did very little for the movie. I meen he saves it from drowning and it instantly adopts him as its owner?? Ok lets buy that, but then it olny shows up one other time randomly in the dessert to scare the shit out of the tribes people and protects it newly adopted human, then bam it leaps off ito the desert wilderness. Ok lets look at a few things here like didnt that cat come from a different geographic location your telling me it followed him through the dessert and was able to not only keep a good pace,but also adapt with out food or water? Another thing, how could a cat the size of a horse follow you through the dessert unnoticed? What annoyed me more then any of that was how that whole scene was the full use of its purpose in the movie, it was like if jurassic park only had the Trex show for one brief momment to break a fence and then go stampeding off into the distance never to be seen again.

Why did D'Leh's father leave the tribe?

There was this point when Tic'Tic was talking to D'leh, explaining that some men have a bigger fortune. That pretty much explained it to me, actually. A little mystery, who cares. The thing that really bugged me was why he conspiratorially whispered to Tic'Tic "Don't tell them why I'm going" and the reason he thought he was going was never explained later in the movie. These kind of moments are happening far too often in contemporary films. There's no excuse for making up a story and then never explaining the Why's and How's other than "Hey, we'll have another animated shot, let's screw the climax!" :D

If I was a 12 y.old, I probably enjoyed the movie and had fantasies about this girl [...]
Damn, I'm so pathetic.

didnt that cat come from a different geographic location your telling me it followed him through the dessert and was able to not only keep a good pace,but also adapt with out food or water?

As I said, the walk from the jungle to the desert only took three astonishing minutes, real-time. No need for water :D

Another thing, how could a cat the size of a horse follow you through the dessert unnoticed?

==> D'leh was having fantasies about the girl.

[Carnifex]

so i haven't seen this film yet,but from the sound of it,i was right with my original assumption that "quest for fire (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/quest_for_fire/)" is still the better thing.

[Pav]

So D'leh lectures the tiger about not eating him ("Do not eat me when I set you free."), the tiger "understands" and doesn't eat him. I'm not a pet owner, therefore I'm asking - do animals have enough intelligence to appreciate someone saving them?

I also think woolly mammoths are ice creatures and would not survive in a desert environment.

[Jabo]

Yes, it's a fact that some animals run after you once you've saved them. If a sabertooth does, I don't know. And yeah, mammoths in an desert environment, that isn't the healthiest combination. I almost felt the sweat running.

[Brun]

the movie kind of sucked,
I mean the actors and their performance really sucked,
Inthe beginning of the movie it was like:
d'leh: I'll never leave u
chick: never ?
d'leh: never
Chick: never...

I mean comonnnn, the chick wasn't even that hot guys, whats wrong with u, when I walk down the street these days chicks al look like that girl, all perfect maked-up and that s*** :) where are the really natural beauties these days (ow wait my girlfriend ;))

no seriouce now, the movie was a good no brain movie, nice to watch, bat actor performance, the egyptian like guys had a nice dezing, i loved the creapy "go" character, but serioucly, the story sucked big time :) had some good laughes tho

(ps: ok maybe she is a little bit cute, and maybe a bit hot, but she looks like all the other girls in my city, She isn't special like u know sometimes theres this girl that isn't f***up with make up and stuff, and is just bueaty itself without all the fluf and gadgets and clothes and whatever :) )

ok its late here, and i'm just typing un inmportend stuff

ow and please do forgive my poor english, i'm working on it

[Shmaba]

writers strikes leave us with movies like this. Clique and not much thought in them. A few "cool" scenes but not much else than that.

[Matsign]

I hated the pace of the movie. I enjoyed the creative approach to dialects, not including the obtuse use of English. Keep in mind, most people don't have the attention span for subtitles.

I wanted to see so much more blood and thats a fact jack.

[Coinpurse]

bahh I still keep my opinion about the whole english thing. It kills the phuckin' mood i'm sorry. I understand what you stated above Moai, makes perfect sense and I put that into perspective moments after I heard it. English audience or not though, it'd be best to keep it as authentic as possible (Starting with the dialect). IE Passion of Christ wouldn't have been as dramatic if the actors weren't speaking in Aramaic. Either way it really doesn't matter, I never laughed so hard in a movie. It was complete nonsense.
