A lesson in history

The trailer looked promising what with the mammoths, sabre-tooth tiger and the premise itself - being 10000 BC...way before kingdoms, territories and even countries were established, Fleming discovered penicillin, man 'flew' to the moon and huge shoulder pads became a fad.



So what appeared to be something to look for forward to following the rather dismal showings of mediocre movies at the cinemas quickly turned out to be a dud. It was like watching the brilliant Mel Gibson-directed Apocalypto with the same plotline except on a more grand scale minus the foreign language (who knew English was already around 10 000 BC years ago...) and violence.

I smell lack of originality here...no?
