ebonlockYou know I saw the trailer for 10,000 B.C. before some movie or other and I remember sitting there with my jaw hanging open. I mean as soon as I realized they had wooly mammoths building pyramids my brain just locked up. Seriously the letters WTF were hovering over my head in big neon lights.
So I knew it was going to be wretched, but until I read the actual description of the film, I didn't know just how wretched. Check it:
From director Roland Emmerich comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth. In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D’Leh (Steven Strait), has found his heart’s passion – the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D’Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey’s end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.
Yes, my friends, this film actually got funding and was made. It's real, it's really real. Just reading that made my brain ache like I'd just eaten too much ice cream too fast.
Words fail...
