D’Leh (Strait) and Evolet (Belle) are destined to be together, but are kept apart by clan politics. Evolet wants to run away with him, byt D’Leh will not because his father left the tribe when he was a child. His father’s act made D’Leh an outcast of sorts, and he has worked hard to restore his name. When a roving band of warriors raid their village and take most of the tribe, including Evolet, D’Leh makes it his mission to save his people and the woman he loves.

At the very least, “10,000 B.C.” has good special effects. Not great, but good. The story itself is nothing special, even silly. The acting is about the same. There does not appear to be any factual basis for anything that occurs in the film either. A key point at the end of the film even elicited an audible groan from me. There was a time when director Roland Emmerich made movie that were somewhat engaging, but those days seem to be long gone. My recommendation is to stay away from this film.
