10,000 BC: $35,867,488 @ the box office (07% Rotten Tomatoes

10,000 BC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10,000_BC_(film)

Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10000_bc/


Critics and movie goers are usually at different sides of the road when it comes to rating movies. To me it's really interesting to see that usually when a movie is given a bad rating, people flock to see it, and when the movie has a very high rating, people dislike. Of course, there're exceptions, but this is usually the rule.

I think critics and movie goers are not watching the movie for the same purpose. Critics want to see a masterpiece while movie goers just like the fake action and thrilling comouter-based scenes!!!

What do you think? Have you seen 10K BC?

10,000 BC made about $36 million at the box office in the US, while worldwide revenues are close to $110 millions.

Looks awful. I won't see it.

Just another Roland Emerich over budgeted, poorly historically researched action flick.

Like a certain film that I've seen before..., oh what's it called?

The Day After Tomorrow?

That movie was so radically scientifically inaccurate I couldn't help but laugh. It was about a dramatic change in the weather for the entire northern hemisphere... and they threw in this:
"Australia just saw the strongest typhoon in recorded history."

Hilarious.

Plus I found the reverse Mexican border breach kinda funny, too.

Not a fan of Emerich... or Bay (Transformers... ugh).

The worst part about The Day After Tomorrow was the LA tornadoes.

The Day After Tomorrow was horrible indeed, but has anyone seen "Category 6: Day of Destruction"? That definitely takes the cake as being the worst weather movie created in recent times. lol. It was inaccurate in just about every way possible!

:uarrow: Category 6 might have been funny, but it got so outrageous to the point at which it became infuriating. The concept is a good laugh though. It basically involves a storm that's producing like 25 tornadoes at the same time to merge with a tropical cyclone.

Over Chicago.

Even the CGI was pathetic in that. I read a page about the people producing it and they wanted it to be a certain way, and it turned out to be the opposite of that. Then you have the movie "Category 7: End of the World" which wasn't even worth looking at. I can come up with all this...when I'm 6 years old :lol: .

10,000 looks like a POS and a few people at work said as much. :D

I don't understand why everyone hates on Michael Bay. He did a amazing job with Transformers IMO. I don't think anybody was expecting it to be like it was, I'm not even a transformers fan and I loved the movie. He also did the Bad Boys movies which were awesome and Armageddon. He doesn't make anything "mind blowing", just really good action movies. And yeah it may be hyped up and totally unrealistic but isn't that why they're called movies?

I disagree. Bay takes a rock, wraps it in 5,000 $100 bills and throws it at every plot he gets and makes a big flashy action flick.

Transformers falls under the category of "Brainless". Sweet action, amazing graphics, very poor plot and dialouge. I enjoyed the movie, but it was an immense disappointment.
