I went in as a neutral viewer, thinking it could be totally awesome- or totally lame... Well... I came out as a neutral viewer, thinking it was totally awesome- yet totally lame.
The story seemed to drag out a bit. You think it's gonna pick up- not entirely. It was real easy to predict what would happen next.
The dialogue was a bit... um... how should I say- lame... Well, it might not be the dialogue- it could very well be the horrible- horrible accents used by the American actors... Horrible, horrible... But they did try to make it as humorous as a movie like this could get. Saying a few things here and there that made you chuckle and think, "Oh, what a clever tang of wit."
The special effects were... Okay it had some really cool moments... Cool Prehistoric animals... but... does everyone recall the moment on Goonies, when Mikey holds up the pendant to the rocks and the Lighthouse and the camera angle is from his point of view and it gushes of green screen? Well, let me just say about the special effects designers of 10,000 BC... "It's their time- It's their time up there." It was pretty bad... Several times through out did I shake my head and rest it upon my hand, trying to relieve myself of disappointment.
And finally, the reason I liked it a bit more than I normally would have?
That's right. A BOY!
Are you really surprised? I mean... it is me here people! But not only is this a boy- it's Steven Strait... he played Warren Peace on Sky High and Caleb on The Covenant... He's perdy...
So... thus ends my review... I'd say... Don't see it in theaters. Wait for DVD... Unless you want to stare at him the whole time... not wearing a whole lot... (giggle giggle) Shut up Dan... I know what your thinking... Jerk...
