As usual, the promos and title are misleading and should be sold on their own as a separate movie…
The concept is extremely weak but the CG is (in some scenes) really beautiful. The woolly mammoth is a triumph in creature animation I think. As for the gathering of the army of various village/’tribe’ ‘warriors’ reeked of uninformed fantastical morphological bias. Contrasted to the huge morphological variance in the “home” village first encountered. Beware the psuedo mythical one-liners, one of the most prominent the Atlantis (implied)/Alien (implied)/White man (explicit) explanations for the building of the Egyptian pyriamids.
Note: if the promo/title really excited you – the movie will really irritate you.

this movie is like a chick flick gone wrong, at first leading you to believe its all about action and adventure as shown in the trailers but that is not the case turning into a overly fiction love tale don’t let the title fool you.

[...] about the show, I’m thinking History Channel put this out to coincide with the movie 10,000 B.C., which not surprisingly isn’t that accurate of a movie. Not like I expected it to be remotely [...]

Nor does the visual of a towering Egyptian-like temple look particularly authentic for being 10,000 B.C.. But it does look entertaining.

The music doesn’t sound particularly authentic. :-)
