Product: La Guerre du feu (1982)
Rating: 3.0
Great acting - poor makeup
Last saw this movie about 17 years ago. Just watched it again and while I still thought it was great, the effects and makeup are pretty bad. The lesser developed tribes look like they're wearing rubber masks (which they probably were) and the mastodons are pretty humorous. During the fight with the bear - there is never a time when the bear actually looks like he's attacking. It just looks like the two are playing with drastic camera angles and cuts to make it look dramatic. All that said, I still enjoyed this film immensely. The actors really make you believe you're watch events thousands of years ago. The body language, grunts, and limited language are perfect throughout. Very entertaining and worth watching.
