10,000 B.C. - NOT a film

Dianne here reporting that 10,000 B.C. doesn’t even deserve to be italicized. My husband wanted to see it, so I went, but I wish I had steered us to a better movie to spend our money and time on. However, it does have special effects reminisent of Jurassic Park. Only that movie, as I recall, had a believable plot, although fantastical. On the other hand, 10,000 B.C. has Jamaicans living somewhere in Switzerland living off of wooly mammoths when some Arabs on horses come north to steal their fresh meat and strong young people to help build their pyramids. Of course, a hunter turns warrior to save his woman and although he is on foot as are all the tribes he meets and gets to join him along the way, they are able to follow and catch up with the Arabs and take down their leader. But why the Jamaicans decide to go back to the snowy mountains to live rather than staking claim to the fertile soil by the Nile, I do not know. I would have sent for the few people I left behind rather than take them back a few seeds to become farmers….  Oh, sorry, I ruined the ending, but you’ll probably sleep through it anyway.
