10,000 BC

Howdy all!

Mah wife and I nabbed 10K BC on BR today (BR= blue ray and  for us getting the LG BH200 a couple of months ago).

We sat through about an hour of it before we turned it off.  Intersting action but I guess the BR really brought out the '...wow, that beastie looks totally cgi...'.  A lot of the story seemed a bit far fetched for supposedly taking place 10K BC to us. 
We both agreed after watching the first bit, we probably really shouldn't have bought it.  Most likely a renter.  Oh well, add it to the...oops, shouldn't bought that one...part of our movie collection I guess. 

Will try and sit through the whole thing in the next couple of weeks but I dunno.  First impression sure wasn't that good for us

Should'ave posted here first. The review I read said it was far fetched and had some slight (5000 - 6000 years) historical inaccuracies.

I was about to put that one in my Blockbuster basket (online).  Maybe I'll give it a pass, now.  Of course, we don't have none of them there "hi def" TV thangs... ;o)  So maybe it won't look so bad on our little TV.  I'll have to see if the wife wants to see it.

It's an ok rental, especially if you have a blu-ray player. It's nice eye-candy, though some of the shots are a bit soft overall. I have a lot of BD's that blow the picture quality of 10,000 out of the water. I'll say that hardly ANY CGI looks "real" to me, so that wasn't a big factor. Narnia, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a few others are able to pull it off. I think the CGI in this is good, but it's not "wait, was that real?" good.

Smerg- in response to your spoiler:

Overall I'd recommend it as a popcorn rental movie ONLY and would recommend AGAINST purchasing it.




So Smerg, welcome to the Blu side! Once you go HD, it's hard to watch standard def movies. My favorites in BD are 300, I, Robot, Blade Runner, Man on Fire, Narnia, the Pirates series all off the top of my head.
