A movie to avoid in 2008 unless you want your head to explode:

[semillama]

Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC.

From the Wikipedia synopsis: "As a member of a primitive tribe during the dawn of man, 21-year-old mammoth hunter D'Leh (Steven Strait) travels through unknown lands on a quest to rescue his people from extinction.<1> D'Leh, leading an army, uncovers a lost civilization in pursuit of a warlord who kidnapped his love, Evolet (Camilla Belle). D'Leh and his army encounters saber-toothed cats and other prehistoric predators in the journey to save his tribe.<2>"

I count at least four anachronisms just in the synopsis alone.

Go watch the trailer and count even more!

1. But I need a good laugh!

:rofl:

So it's a piece of crap... can't we at least go to enjoy the badness?

[semillama]

2. sure. I may wait for DVD, though

and make a "count the anachronisms" drinking game out of it.

3. Was that large predatory bird

supposed to be a phorusrhacid? Whatever it was, I don't recall reading anywhere that huge predatory birds lived as recently as 10,000 BCE - about 12,000 years ago. Also, woolly mammoths were approaching extinction by then, as were saber cats, especially in North America.

Where is this supposedly taking place? Regardless, what's up with those modern-looking structures? And the cool-looking boats? And mammoths being used as beasts of burden, and also being ridden?

Were the weapons supposedly metal? If so, that would be wrong too.

The trailer went by too fast for me to really see what was going on, but from what I did see, I'm afraid that seeing the whole movie would make me ill. I can only imagine what it might do to someone who really knew stuff.
