Co-written , produced and directed by Roland Emmerich, 10,000 BC offers an interesting take on an obscure chapter in human pre-history. The story focuses on a group of primitive hunter-gatherers who are captured and enslaved by an advanced civilization… and a young mammoth hunter's journey to rescue them and secure the future of his tribe. Depicting the construction of the Great Pyramids offers an interesting historical context about the true age and origin of Ancient Egypt. The film portrays the giant stone blocks of the pyramids being dragged into place by giant beasts of burden (mammoths), which were still existent at the time. It is also interesting to note that the Sphinx is portrayed as having a lion's head (a controversial, but possible theory). Far-fetched but entertaining, the filmmakers present a unique picture in dazing CGI effects. The cast does a good job, including Steven Strait and Camilla Belle. Omar Sharif provides the narration.
