Wilsford's Review

Thumb: Down

Notable Characters:
Steven Strait – D’Leh
Camilla Belle – Evolet
Cliff Curtis – Tic Tic

Plot (contains spoilers):
We find ourselves somewhere in the snowy mountains close Egypt with a primitive tribe of woolly mammoth hunters. A group of warriors on horses come in and raid their settlement and run off with a beautiful woman, Evolet. Her one true love D’Leh sets off determined to get her back. Eldest hunter, Tic Tic, knowing what dangers lie ahead, commits himself to travel with D’Leh on this epic journey. Along the way they catch up to the warriors but are unable to complete their quest due to the presence of prehistoric beasts. They meet other African tribes who join them in their quest to take down the Egyptian empire. Once they arrive to the city, they convince the slaves to join their army and we watch as the Egyptian city burns and love birds are reunited.

Reasons why I didn’t like it:
· The story was lame and not exciting.
· If you are going to have characters speak English, please don’t make them have an accent that focuses on mumbling. I couldn’t understand half of what they main characters were saying.
· The dialogue seemed like it was written by high-school kids. Then again maybe that was purposeful because they did want to portray primitive beings.
· If you are excited to see the saber tooth tiger because of the two scenes in the preview, be prepared because that is all you see.

Reasons why I liked it:
· Visually it was great. The woolly mammoths, saber tooth tiger, and the Egyptian city were wonderful to watch.
· I got to see Jim Haslett, the defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, with his family. I didn’t talk to him because I get nervous in those situations, but it was nice to see him about.

Final Notes: I apologize for my lack of effort with the Plot. This movie was so bad I could not muster up the strength for quality recapping. This was a bad movie, please don’t encourage Hollywood to make such crap by paying to see this.
